7/3 - Cubs (Smyly) vs Brewers (Teheran): 1;10pm, Marquee

[Brock Beauchamp]

So, Julio Teheran. He has no excuse being this good and it feels like every start is the one where his magic pixie dust runs out. Yet it never happened... until his last start when the Mets absolutely lit him up.

This is a four-game set in Milwaukee. The Cubs kinda need a split here, though expecting more than that may be asking too much.

Tucker Barnhart did something useful on offense - RBI single. Cubs currently up 3-0 in 2nd, still batting.

[Transmogrified Tiger]

It only just now occurred to me how infuriating it must be to be an opposing fan and watch Madrigal get an XBH against you, some real 'only my teams' stuff

[PackLandVA]

And Tucker with ANOTHER RBI single. What the hell is going on around there?!?!

[Derwood]

Batters 1-4: 0 for 7, 0 R, 0 RBI

Batters 5-9: 8 for 10, 6 R, 6 RBI

Lol, was just going to post this.

[Ding Dong Johnson]

It's days like these with nothing going on, and the Cubs playing well, that I knew how to set up a VPN with my mesh network and Apple TVs.

[Transmogrified Tiger]

A first baseman that's better than a league average hitter and doesn't play defense like they put the glove on the wrong hand.  Doesn't feel like a ton to ask for.

[PackLandVA]

Aaaaaaand……the comeback starts. A HR away from the inning cycle for the Brewers.

[PackLandVA]

When Cubs pitchers walk a poor hitter, is it a rule that hitter must score?

[Nolansomebody]

A double-steal?

[CubinNY]

Ross gonna let Drew walk the bases loaded

[Nolansomebody]

Morel is playing 3B now.

[PackLandVA]

Smyly = Pumpkin

[CubinNY]

Why is Fullmer batting 

[sneakypower]

huh, so the NL adopting the DH was all just a dream i had

Madrigal injury forced Morel into the game, losing the DH.

Just for giggles I went and checked Madrigal's splits. June was the first month of his career he posted an OPS at or above .800 (.898) while having more than 30 plate appearances in the month.

[Derwood]

lol, Kay throws one pitch and blows the save

[Irrelevant Dude]

Has this Kay guy ever done anything that would indicate he isn't terrible?

[abuck1220]

this is honestly worth it if it gets ross fired.

[UMFan83]

Such a shitty team

[abuck1220]

maybe shoulda used that guy earlier instead of anthony horsefeathering kay. 

[PackLandVA]

Cubs pitching - 8 walks. Three have scored.

[abuck1220]

please lose 8-6 to make a fucked up torture mirror of yesterday’s game
