Cubs (Brown) @ Brewers (Peralta) :: 5/28/24, 6:40pm, Marquee

That Bellinger at bat tells me they're grinding the wood out of their bats, trying too hard to make something happen.  Baseball seems to be one of the few things where trying too hard can possibly make things worse.  Something positive has to happen for this to turn around, maybe a two out bases loaded hit, something.

[UMFan83]

Oof that’s not gonna help his player of the month candidacy 

[Derwood]

I'm now rooting for a 27 K game. Let's see some history

[UMFan83]

They don’t look like they’re gonna come out of this naturally but they’ve also had off days to clear their heads. What are they waiting for the all star break?

[JHBulls]

8th highest payroll. What have you done, Jed? 

[LBiittner]

No-no watch for Peralta  has begun

Or, sneak in aluminum bats?

[UMFan83]

The only XBH the Cubs have had in their last 22 innings were Happ’s HRs on Sunday. Every other hit has been a single

[Andy]

Ben Brown looks really good early, too bad he's getting no run support tonight

[LBiittner]

Ben Brown no hits thru 2

[UMFan83]

Time to google when the last Cubs lead was. Nice work Busch

edit: duh, forgot they blew that lead in STL on Saturday

[WhyCantWeWin]

They scored a run via a HR early in a game?!?

[gflore34]

To fair Brewers' at-bats have been non-competitive as well.

[LBiittner]

I love a good Bush

[WhyCantWeWin]

And Dansby promptly strikes out

[Soul]

Would be super nice to see Busch make the counter adjustment.

[Derwood]

1 HR (from the guy making league minimum), 6 K's first time through order

[Crusader]

I hate how Amaya is constantly striking out looking on fastballs. Holy horsefeathers, develop an emergency swing. You’re hitting .180. 

Edited May 29, 2024 by Crusader

[Derwood]

7 K's

[LBiittner]

C'mon he's good for 2 hits a week

If we could I’d rather just say go develop it elsewhere.

[JHBulls]

Jed does more talking to the media than he does doing anything of any note. Let’s build him his statue when he can build a 90+ win roster. 

[Soul]

Get Brown in the bullpen and anchor every high leverage situation possible around him.

[LBiittner]

No-no for brown still
