6/30 Brewers (Sheets) vs CUBS (Marshall), 2:55pm, FOX, XM188

[hawkcub]

You got to be kidding me.

[Magnetic Curses]

the brewers would never do that.

[Sammy Sofa]

Ah, yes, the old Cubs are back. Strand that leadoff triple.

[rynefan]

He lets a couple go that are barely high then swings at one practically in the dugout. Major suckage.

[Magnetic Curses]

do you think hendry's going to make a move that actually helps the team this season?

[98navigator]

the brewers would never do that.

 

of course not, they are perfect and always execute

[Sarcastic]

2 of our most patient guys chasing everything. that never ever happens to any other team, that i can remember.

 

Probably because you don't watch the games of other teams as often or pay attention to their players as closely.

 

Every team gets hot, every team gets cold. The good teams are hottest for the longest, and vice versa.

People, this ISN'T the amazing brewers offense, this is really bad pitching.

 

The brewers do have the 2nd best offense in the NL so far. And that includes more games w/o Braun than with him.

 

That has nothing to do with my point. This game has been about bad Cubs pitching. Where was all their good offense after the first inning yesterday? Good pitching stiffles good hitting.

 

So then would bad pitching stiffle bad hitting?

 

Obviously the pitching has sucked today, but we've seen many games where the cubs have been blanked by less than par pitching.

 

You claim this "isn't the amazing Brewers offense", and my point is that hell yes it is (partially). Not 100%, but its got something to do with it.

[Ender]

As a Brewer fan I disagree, especially last year when it seemed like the HR was the only way we scored any runs.

[rynefan]

Sometimes I think the Cubs are turning over a new leaf, then I see Izturis, Jones and Eyre within a half hour of each other and remember to get back to reality.

he decided he was swinging on every one of those pitches, like only a cub does.

Kevin Mench (outside of today).

[rynefan]

The good thing about Eyre pitching early is that Eyre can't pitch late.

Dude, I'm talking about TODAY'S game. The Cubs offense is able to score more than 2 runs per game too-- this one game isn't representative of either team's offense.

I hate it when the opponent claims they screwed up in a loss and my team had nothing to win - it doesn't feel right when we do the same about our team.

too true, which is why baseball is a liar.

[rynefan]

Will they strand him at 3rd?

[Brian]

I can't remember the last time that an extended AB has worked out for the Cubs. It seems it always ends with the batter swinging at junk or taking a close pitch for strike 3.

especially when considering the cubs are well above average in the pitching department.

[inari]

Fontenot... shame.

[Sammy Sofa]

Oh my God...

 

Get in front of the ball. It's really not more basic than that.

Braun reaches on an error by Fontenot

 

2nd today

[rynefan]

OMG Fontenot. Just because you can hit, doesn't mean you can botch plays like that.
