8/28 - Brewers (Miley) vs Cubs (Taillon): 7:05pm, Marquee

Wind seems to be blowing out to LF . Pull the ball in the air 

[UMFan83]

Does the goodness of Dansby, Bellinger, Merryweather, Fulmer, Tauchman erase the badness of Smyly, Mancini, Hosmer, Taillon, Barnhart?  Probably but damn

Taillon is bad so this isnt surprising. Still sucks. The bullpen should already be up and I'd be quick to pull him here if he gets in any more trouble. Cubs bats can keep them in this.

Is this good 

[Derwood]

Best middle infield in baseball has 2 errors in  1 2/3 innings

[Michael Busch Light]

So annoying that Yelich is awesome again.  

[Rex Buckingham]

Swanson and Hoerner with errors in the first 2 innings... not a great start

[Irrelevant Dude]

I never thought Taillon was any good, but obviously he wasn't this bad before. What is different this year?

[UMFan83]

Hey another run for the brewers 

[Rex Buckingham]

and it costs us another run

[Derwood]

How does ESPN have all five of these runs as "earned" when errors directly lead to a few of them?

[Dfan25]

Everything right down the middle 

[WhyCantWeWin]

These errors have been pretty costly, Cubs have been able to eek out playing this sloppy against bottom feeding teams. That won't really work against good teams....

The errors were for the extra bases, not for them reaching base in the first place.

Have the Cubs considered pulling the plug on the ethernet and saying they got disconnected?  It always worked for me when I was losing at video games.

Despite the error in the first all the runs would’ve scored after the homer by Canha.

The 5th run is now unearned. Usually they’ll mark it as earned and then change it to unearned if necessary.

Yet his ERA is a full 1.5 runs higher than ANY other year in his career

Think he mentioned the sweeper the Cubs tried to add to his pitch mix has thrown him off. Just another case of the Cubs tinkering something the wrong way. 

[Irrelevant Dude]

He is giving up rockets all over the field.

[UMFan83]

The Brewers have put 12 balls in play today with a .400 xBA or higher.  And we're in the 3rd inning

[PackLandVA]

Not a Sabre guy, is that bad?
