    Bauers absolutely killed us that inning.
  2. Cool Hand Lucroy
    Even at 7-1, you knew this one was going to be an adventure. Get a couple of tack-on runs, and hope someone steps up in the bullpen.
  3. Cool Hand Lucroy
    Two errors in an inning? Ouch.
  4. Cool Hand Lucroy
    Major baserunning blunder there.
  5. Cool Hand Lucroy
    I don't feel very confident, even at 7-2. Still a lot of innings to cover. Hope the offense continues to show give good ABs.
  6. Cool Hand Lucroy
    And here I was already cursing the missed third strike call.
  7. Cool Hand Lucroy
    Megill avoiding the worst is good. I really wanted tonight to guarantee a split. Hopefully they can get to Shota. Crazy thing is, Brewers will be done playing the Cubs by July.
  8. Cool Hand Lucroy
    I mean, if you'd have told me Megill was going to be the closer, I'd have said you were nuts. Payamps seems like the choice in most situations. But this is a next man up kind of bullpen.
  9. Cool Hand Lucroy
    Keep coming back to that Adames flyout. Totally thought that was a mile out off the bat.
  10. Cool Hand Lucroy
    That's because he was facing a bunch of no-name scrubs in the regular season and not a hall-of-famer in the playoffs 😉

    Also, now that Yelich has come in to play the field, the Brewers lose the DH. Meaning, if this game goes ten, the pitcher might be hitting.
  12. Cool Hand Lucroy
    Paredes looked good again. If he could be a weapon, this bullpen is suddenly like....potentially special. Feel like we've had like 4 chances to get to 10 over .500 and lost them all. Sure would be nice if the top of the order could turn this thing around.
  13. Cool Hand Lucroy
    Even the strike two pitch. Right down the middle, and he missed it by a mile.
  14. Cool Hand Lucroy
    Completely shocked it's not Brown to start the 8th. He's still only at 93 pitches. Wow.
  15. Cool Hand Lucroy
    If the Cubs lose, Chicagoland is going to go ape on CC.
  16. Cool Hand Lucroy
    On the positive front, Brown's probably going to have to throw 120 pitches to no-hit the Brewers. I haven't seen CC let a guy get that far very often, and he never really seemed to believe in pushing guys for that kind of milestone. Of course, his bullpen has also never been a complete trash can. So, who knows?

    I have to say, I just hate these Cubs-Brewers games. It's not any fun. Even when the result is good, it's still not much fun. Too much stress, too much meaningless meaning. It's been this way for a while, and Counsell makes it worse. I guess the good news is, we own them in terms of the NL Central the last like 6 or 7 years. And Yelich and Game 163 pretty much entirely short-circuited the budding "dynasty" they all thought they'd have. That'll keep you warm for a long time.
  18. Cool Hand Lucroy
    The scary thing about the scoreless streak is that Imanaga doesn't give up runs against anybody, and he hasn't faced the Brewers yet.
  19. Cool Hand Lucroy
    I just came to say we have not scored on a Cubs starting pitcher all year. That is like a 30-inning sample. Wow. Please make it stop.
  20. Cool Hand Lucroy
    Honestly, I don't mind umpires missing calls if they're using the data available to get better. Hernandez never seemed interested in that. If I am the umpires union, I am pushing my members to embrace the electronic zone technology to improve their own performance. That's how you keep control because the tech isn't going away.
  21. Cool Hand Lucroy
    I agree that trading Hader had short-term negative effects. I think that's undeniable. I don't think those were inevitable. I think Rogers was bad in a small sample, and he was the piece intended to mitigate those impacts. If he performs wonderfully, I don't know that we're talking about this. He didn't, but was that really predictable? Team took a shot and missed. But the long-term value they got was there and is paying dividends. I don't fault them one bit for that trade. Sometimes, the results aren't what you want exactly, but these results are pretty good, and the process felt exactly right to me. The Brewers have to run by thinking in 2, 3, and 5 year increments. They've been very good at that over the last decade or so. In that sense, I don't know how anyone can villify this trade. You can mourn 2022 and the small but significant role the trade may have played in that, but I'll take these kinds of results every time.
  22. Cool Hand Lucroy
    Yeah, his swing decisions are really bad right now. Overly aggressive and it's being exploited.
  23. Cool Hand Lucroy
    Yeah, I think this is right on. I can't figure the guy out. It's a lot of gut feeling stuff that's fine on margin calls that arise out of an overall strategic outlook, but not in the haphazard way they're currently executed.
  24. Cool Hand Lucroy
    I mean, you also probably need more than one run to win because even Megill might give one up with the Manfred runner. And then you've got Mitch White coming in. I just think playing for one there is bad generally and especially when the guy hasn't sniffed the strike zone.
  25. Cool Hand Lucroy
    His closer gave up two fly balls, at least one of which should've been turned into an out, and would've if the OFers weren't playing to prevent a home run from being hit over their heads.
