4/7: Cubs (Mr. Anderson) @ Brewers (Nelson) 7:10PM on CSN

[Gilby]

Nice, Len

[Ding Dong Johnson]

Cubs are 69-69 at Miller Park

 

nice nice

[David]

If neither Rondon or Davis are actually broken then the bullpen has preposterous depth. Justin Grimm ran a 3.28 FIP with a great K rate last year and he's legit 6th in the pecking order. And 7th is Montgomery who belongs in a MLB rotation.

Imagine if heyward isn't broken, either, lmao

[Transmogrified Tiger]

Montgomery being the pitcher makes this gap less than normal, but I continue to hate the 'long reliever throwing in the 9th or later on the road' as a matter of principle.

Is the CSN feed cutting out every now and then for everybody? Watching on DIRECTV. Edited April 8, 2017 by Sammys Boombox

It's pretty awesome when we can get annoyed that the guy who closed Game 7 of the World Series is pitching.

I'm watching on Xfinity and yes, it is.

Yeah. Before it was just sputtering audio but they've gone full [expletive]

I'm probably a wee bit of a hypocrite for campaigning for Montgomery to start every 5th/6th day while showing disdain for him entering a tie game, but to be fair to me I hate losing extra inning games a lot.

as in the streaming service directv now, not "now I'm watching directv"

[Derwood]

mlb.tv is not cutting out

[mikeyt34]

Minus a couple of hiccups on opening night, the bullpen looks great.

[Aaron_Kennelly]

So they used their closer for one batter?

[Aaron_Kennelly]

Do it, Schwarbs.

[mikeyt34]

Nice Jay! Let's horsefeathering Go!

[Transmogrified Tiger]

Clint Hurdle might be the next best manager in the division. Don't think about that for more than 5 seconds or blood will shoot out your ears.

[Ding Dong Johnson]

I almost don't remember disliking Jon Jay

[treebird]

the Brewers clearly think they'd get kicked out of the league if they didn't have at least one total spaz on their team

it really is scary how bad the managers are in this division

Uhhhh did you SEE that foul ball he hit?

[We Got The Whole 9]

Schwarber could have crushed that 3-1 and then he chases the next one. Damn.
