Brewers (Ross) vs Cubs (Wesneski): 5/3/24, 1:20pm - Marquee

[Brock Beauchamp]

I'm fired up for this series, most excited I've been about baseball in 2024.

I'll refrain from saying exactly whom I'm rooting for. 😀

[Bertz]

Joe Ross is pretty bad against lefties so hopefully this is the game where the offense breaks back out and we can enjoy a nice comfortable win

 

[ToolDRT]

Feels like we’re getting to that point where we need the lineup to be shuffled a bit. Happ has been having a tough time lately and id like to try Busch higher up in the order. 

[We Got The Whole 9]

I will be pretty ticked off if MIL has a top 3 offense all year. They have a lot of hitters who are just mashing, and they still have an excellent pitching staff. They're gonna be tough to knock off if that happens.

[JHBulls]

At least we only had to wait for the second pitch of the ball game to see exactly what the umpiring will be like today. 

[WhyCantWeWin]

Why do all umpires suck this year

[Andy]

Wesneski has been screwed on two obvious strikes already.

[We Got The Whole 9]

If we lose Tauchman's eye we are definitely boned

[squally1313]

Back to back infield singles is annoying. In front of a lefty is even more annoying

[CubinNY]

Busch is coming out of it a bit. 

[CubinNY]

Dansby is 6-3 or K. 

[CubinNY]

I'm rooting for Matt hard, but he needs to be gone to Iowa. 

[Ding Dong Johnson]

Mervis somehow makes me miss that Cooper guy

[UMFan83]

Mervis come on dude

Yeah you feel for the guy who has done like....98% of what it takes to be a major leaguer and is pretty obviously aware that it's slipping away one bad AB at a time. But can't have this performance out of the 1B or DH spot. 

[UMFan83]

Leadoff double stranded because the Cubs cant seem to string 2 hits together in an inning.

[We Got The Whole 9]

We have 7 slumping hitters, it's insane. 

[Andy]

Someday leadoff doubles won't immediately be followed by 3 people completely failing to make hard contact

[CubinNY]

PCA makes it look easy, but that is a double for 7 out of 10 CF

[Andy]

That was a very not-easy play made to look really easy by PCA.

[Bertz]

I really like how Wesneski's solution to the problem of lefties hitting endless dongs off of him last winter was "what if I just run a 60% groundball rate against them?"

[squally1313]

We really shouldn't be taking these starting pitching performances for granted. No idea if this filter works at all, but when I look at team starting pitching by guys on the active roster (basically trying to remove Hendricks), we have a 1.67 ERA.

[Brock Beauchamp]

Cubs outfield is the star of the game so far.

that was insane. a ball 110 mph off the bat into the gap had no chance at being a hit

He didn't even look like he was going hard. Dude has prime Byron Buxton-level wheels.
