7/24 Cubs (Lester) @ Brewers (Guerra) 1:10 CT ABC7/670

[Careless]

I hate this sport

[UMFan83]

Of course a double play sort of chop goes over his head for 2 runs

[soccer10k]

Didn't see that coming.

[Brian]

shall we be happy it wasn't a rocket?

[Little Slide Rooter]

As the years go by, in my mind, Scooter Gennett and Skip Schumaker will morph into one.

[17 Seconds]

we are right back to ass status if arrieta sucks tomorrow

[KrisBryantisaBeast]

Shocking result.

[Ding Dong Johnson]

but for serious, how many damn chances can one shitty reliever get?

[Little Slide Rooter]

When the Loogy can no longer Loog, it's time for him to go.

[Tryptamine]

Going to love to hear Joe's justification for tanking two games in a row.

[CubinNY]

Why do the Brewers have a dome but instead let the players and fans melt away in 90 degree 80% humidity conditions?

No air-con and it's worse with the roof on according to Len and JD

[squally1313]

There wasn't that great of video, but that seems like it was played less than ideally by Kris.

but for serious, how many damn chances can one [expletive] reliever get?

No beat reporter is going to ask that question

[squally1313]

Also, Richard did exactly he was supposed to do.

He did fine. He induced weak contact the Cubs were just positioned in the exact wrong way. That said he should have been out of chances alrwady

I think your definition of "exactly" is somewhat off.

my question was more to the fact that he's still on the team in late July after the season he has had, not necessarily the outcome of that one play

[CubinNY]

If feels like a 12-0 Brewers lead.

[CubinNY]

Reminds me of one of Dusty's Sunday specials.

[Sammy Sofa]

Ridiculously, it's still just 4 runs with plenty of time against the horsefeathering Brewers, yet it stupidly feels nigh-impossible.

He got a ground ball hit directly to one of our infielders. That's why he was there. Some combination of Bryant breaking in on that ball and just really terrible luck.

 

Plenty of time left.

[Bryants Disco Ball]

In a lot of the deadline deals we have been talking about, I've been looking at it more from a playoff perspective, i.e. getting Chapman really is two weeks rather than two months in terms of a rental. But at what point, if at all, do we start to think that maybe we also could use guys to make sure we actually win the division? Or is that still a lock?

[Sammy Sofa]

I wish I could drown my sorrows in taco-ghetti:

It was only a few months ago that no lead felt insurmountable. Cubs down 6 in the 5th inning... no problem!
