A loss to the stinking Cubs that gives them a lead in the season series is not a random loss. And 5 straight games of crap offense (none of them against elite starting pitching) is not random either.
-
Then I hope he pitches next Tuesday against the Twins and the next Sunday against the Giants so that he doesn’t pitch in the ASG. He can be honored and take in the festivities without pitching an inning in a meaningless exhibition.
-
Never did I say or assume that the Cubs were going to score. I had an off the cuff comment that, right after the Brewers broke the scoreless tie, the Cubs responded with a scoring threat of their own. If I had said something like “that lead didn’t last long” I would have been assuming a run and would have been wrong. I never expected, though I probably should have, that some of you would react to that at all. If I wanted to troll for responses I could be a lot more direct than that.
-
True. Posters could let others make off the cuff comments without feeling obligated to make a big issue out of them. Anyone following the game knew what I was referring to and it brought several of the usual suspects out of the woodwork.
-
I guess I should have checked my definitions with the board’s many Protocol Patrolmen.
-
Sorry, I consider a leadoff double a response.
-
And the Cubs answer right back.
-
I just saw that Friday’s game will only be televised on Apple TV+. It’s irritating when you have a cable service and also pay for MLB TV that there are games you can’t watch without an additional paid subscription.
-
There’s the run. Up to Burnes and the bullpen to make it hold up.
-
Fortunately that fence in front of the scoreboard has some give.
-
The Jonathan Davis Theory.
-
First RISP for either team today.
-
Ump gives Burnes a call there.
-
For a team that doesn’t get many baserunners the Brewers sure do hit into a lot of DPs.
-
A free opportunity to see the Brewers offense in full glory.
-
Brewers need a big game from Burnes today now that the offense seems to be back in the doldrums. An outfield featuring Hiura in left and Peterson in right is a little frightening too going along with an infield that has been less than airtight. The Cubs have Contreras and Suzuki on the bench so maybe Burnes can turn in 7 shutout innings.
-
At some point results are important, and Woodruff’s results before his injury were not what a team expects and needs from an ace pitcher, both from the standpoint of preventing runs and covering innings to protect the bullpen. In his first 8 starts he had only 2 quality starts, which IMHO are a pretty low standard for an ace pitcher. In several starts, he was taking 90 or more pitches just to get through 5 innings, even when he wasn’t giving up a lot of runs.
-
If we want a third catcher in October it can’t be Severino anyway. Severino has to be traded unless they really want him for next season.
-
I don’t know about the peripherals, but Woodruff had more bad outings early in the season than just the one against the Cubs. He wasn’t covering a lot of innings, including short starts in which he gave up 4 and 5 earned runs against the Pirates and Reds. Hopefully these last two starts are more indicative of what he’s going to do going forward
-
Even 3 gift base runners are not enough to push across a run.
-
Bad throw by Wong lets another run in.
-
There’s a flash flood warning in the area. Im not sure if it’s for rain or Cubs runs.
-
Fortunate to get 2 wins with little run production. Except for runs aided by a free runner and an intentional walk it might take the Brewers 6 games to score 19 more.
-
Getting to the Cubs bullpen isn’t the answer.
-
Time for the offense to answer back.
