I almost feel bad. Grimm barely made the Brewers roster and he’s probably not going to stay on it much longer.

 

Yep, I’d rather be donging some other Brewers reliever.

Didn’t Grimm have a weird Twitter thing when he was done with Chicago? Arguing with fans or something?

I know you have to take 2of3 at home, but this felt more like a relief than a reasonably expected result. Even in a blowout. Edited by Bull

Cubs win!! 2-1 to start the year with 3 division opponents going 1-2 is a decent start.

 

Bonus my 4 year old daughter getting excited when they win. Then randomly saying all weekend “we don’t like Milwaukee” and a “we don’t like the Cardinals for good measure. :lol:

 

Edit: Also great outing by Chatwood!!

Yeah he had a way of finding his name in twitter conversations. Weird look. I’ve always liked him because he went out of his way to entertain my daughter when we walked by the bleacher bullpen window a few years ago (during his really bad season) and then him and Carl made a security lady chase us down to give us a ball after we were walking away.

Yes and no for me. Yes winning a home series against one of the 3 other division contenders is very important but with 8 teams making the playoffs my only focus is getting to 31 wins, which I think will get us in. Don’t get me wrong I hope for more and in some respects expect more wins but there is a pretty solid margin for error this year.

 

If you assume the Marlins, Pirates and Giants aren’t really competing, that only leaves 4 teams that are even quasi trying that won’t make the playoffs. This includes teams that I’m pretty confident we’re better than like Colorado, Arizona and to be honest Milwaukee
