8/14 Cubs (Mills) vs Brewers (Woodruff) 7:05 Marquee/MLBN

[We Got The Whole 9]

That was a rough AB for Javy. Hope he gets hot soon

Way too much intent to pull

[soccer10k]

Well that blew up quickly.

[UMFan83]

Probably should have gotten more runs last inning. horsefeathers Yelich

[itisallpartoftheplan]

Damn that was quick.

[We Got The Whole 9]

Can we re-do Javys AB please

[Derwood]

Baez and Schwarber pooping their pants last inning now looming large

[Irrelevant Dude]

It's going to be hard to hit him if he gets strikes called outside the zone both high and low.

It’s crazy that this is Game 17 and it’s the first game where we’ve been down a couple of runs late and trying to come back. All 3 of our losses so far were not close.

[UMFan83]

Guess KB wasn’t available off the bench after all unless Ross really wanted Phegley to face Hader with the bases loaded and 2 outs in a 1 run game

[Bote McBoteface]

Sooo Bryant is unavailable for an at bat, and Ross hates Almora. I had no idea we had that guy on the roster.

[itisallpartoftheplan]

Phegley to Kimbrel

[UMFan83]

Nice inning Kimbrel. He’s still having some issues with control and the 2nd out was hit hard but a lot of swing and miss stuff.

 

On a side note, where the horsefeathers is everyone these days? I find myself going to twitter more and more in games because there’s so little discussion here. I know the board has really thinned out and it’s a really weird type of season but it’s crazy to see a close game like this only have 2 pages of posts. Come back people! I’d welcome a Schwarber Fan rant right about now!

[Derwood]

Thanks for showing up, Javy

[UMFan83]

Cubs have lost 4 times in their first 17 games, and half of those losses can largely be attributed to Yelich, who otherwise has been a replacement level player this year. SMH

It's weird, I'm even posting instead of lurking to help.

Weird to suggest he be more aggressive but with Schwarber on deck against a lefty and no obvious PH option, tough to see him get called out looking.

[17 Seconds]

this game kind of sums up the last 2 seasons of cubs vs brewers. have 'em on the ropes and can't put them away.

[Andy]

Lose by 1 in a game where the Brewers scored a run in the most spectacularly BS inning of successfully weak contact I've seen in many moons.

 

Oh well, it's not the worst thing that it took until game 17 to lose in a fairly infuriating fashion.

He had no idea tonight. He could've closed his eyes and swung and done as well. Totally choked in the two most important situations of the game (and 0 for 5 with 4 K's total)

Yep. He’s a streaky guy but when he’s off he’s really off. Hopefully a hot steak is around the corner

[itisallpartoftheplan]

Really frustrating we only came up with 3 and basically were erased in a minute the top half of the next inning.

[Cubswin11]

Frustrating game. Had it close to won but Javy/Schwarbs/Phegley couldn’t come through with bases loaded and Mills forgot how to pitch for like 7 pitches. Still almost won and made Hader throw almost 40 pitches. Oh well. Win tomorrow idiots

Unfortunately it feels like a big exhibition season. Also, I have been working more this year (I know weird).

[17 Seconds]

i don't understand how they're 13-4 with bryant, baez, and rizzo all sucking (rizzo is only kind of sucking but still sucking)

Happ is legitimately one of the best players in baseball right now. Kipnis, Willy, Bote, Schwarbs are all over 100 wRC+. Rizzo has a 136 wRC+, KB is at 97. Javy is the only one really sucking. But KB needs to be his usual self sooner than later.
