Turang having a good night at the plate.
-
No life on offense in the 7th.
-
Got a 2-out RBI hit from Turang. Felt like they needed that run more than simply to cut into a 2-run deficit.
-
Nice quick, clean inning for Mears in the Bottom 5th. Need to keep pushing at Rea at 86 pitches until it breaks for a big inning.
-
There's a bit of a worry that this observation could be true. With the offense needing to string multiple walks and hits together, there is a higher premium on home run hitting--or at least slugging--in playoff games. This was a topic of discussion at the trade deadline about the need for another power bat and concerns about Ortiz being asked to be productive on offense. This Cubs series is a small sample size, but it is a group of games against a very likely playoff team's pitching staff. And playoff series are nothing but small sample groups of games. Maybe some of this changes when Chourio returns to the lineup in place of Perkins, who is a good 4th/5th outfielder but not someone you want as an everyday starter. But the shortstop position has a good probability of continuing to be a weak link in the offense chain.

Offense just keeps leaving runs on the bases.
-
Cubs do get the big extra-base hit after loading the bases on walks.
-
Seigler came into the game with a .222 BA and a .321 OBP in 53 plate appearances: 10 total hits (all singles) with 6 walks and 9 strikeouts. Seigler appears to have a good understanding of the strike zone. Just would like to see a bit more positive production with his contact at the plate.
-
Got one across, but didn't get the big hit with RISP. Missing that multi-RBI strike a bit lately.
-
Well, that's a quiet Top 1 for the Brewers. Rea getting two Ks and a groundout on 10 pitches.
-
Some roster moves before the game:
-
3-for-10 with RISP today, but no big extra-base hits with RISP. Only picked up 1 RBI with 2 outs. A good number of potential runs left on the diamond in the first two games of the series. Cash in one or two more of those opportunities today, and it's likely a win. Losing by two runs when giving up two unearned runs should also sting a little bit, given the team's emphasis on defense. Go get a win in the nightcap.
-
Myers with two good innings. Looks like that split-change is effective for him. Appearances like that out of the "B Team Bullpen" is a nice weapon in the arsenal.
-
Contreras with the gun again today.
-
Wonder if there's just a little bit of getting back to game speed needed for Collins after his several days away.
-
Good to more than just one run in the 6th, though not quite the big inning. Need a shutdown inning from Miller in relief.
-
MLB.com has Perkins at .200/.310/.200 in his last 7 games: 5-for-25 with 3 BB/9 K. So scuffling a little bit. Probably got about as much production out of him as you can expect from a 4th/5th outfielder filling in for an injured starter. Will be big to get Chourio back from the IL.
-
Got to the Cubs bullpen with one out in the 6th inning. Not bad. Still enough time to chip away at the lead with single tallies, though one of the Brewers' patented 4-run+ innings would be excellent.
-
5-0 hole in in the bottom of the 3rd. With the doubleheader today, there will be some pitching staff management decisions for Murphy to make in the first of two.
-
Let Boyd off the hook with no runs in missing that scoring opportunity in the 2nd.
-
Nice, fairly tidy 7-0 win to start the 5-gamer. That'll do.
-
Had him completely hot in the bullpen while anticipating the matchups he faced, not expecting such a large lead. Managed to throw a 10-pitch inning. Probably about as good a result as possible given the shifting dynamics of the game. But would have been nice had the bigger inning come a little earlier in the game or developed even faster in the 8th.
-
Can almost expect one of these four-run innings during this hot streak.
-
Walks to load the bases for an infield hit by Ortiz, followed by Turang jumping on the first pitch for another single, plus a ground out RBI for Durbin, and a wild pitch for another run. That equals a much appreciated crooked number.
-
A pair of 1-out walks puts some big potential insurance runs on base. Would be good to cash in this opportunity. Edit: And as usual in 2025, Ortiz is up with the bases loaded again.
