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

[Rex Buckingham]

Brown looks like he's facing our lineup

[gflore34]

I reiterate Brewers haven't come close and it's a beautiful thing when the opposition is being blown away.

[gflore34]

If Morel puts the ball in play I'll count it as a step in right direction.  Or a BB? I'll take it..

1-5 hitters are 0 for 9 with 6 K's.

Brilliant lineup construction

Not sure how you optimize the lineup when everyone sucks

When literally no one on the roster is hitting I don't think there's much Counsell can do with lineup construction.

[LBiittner]

Ben Brown no-no thru 4

[WhyCantWeWin]

Brown got away with a mistake there, otherwise he’s been dealing. Ultra efficient too, wonder what his pitch count cap is going to be

Brewers 1-5, 0-7, 3 K's and have not come remotely close to anything - okay last Yelich at-bat they came close

I wonder what pitch count limit Hottovy has on brown

Who of 6-9 would you prefer to see move up in lineup 🤷‍♂️

[LBiittner]

Wcww same thoughts

[JHBulls]

Brown is damn outstanding. Steele was outstanding yesterday. Imanaga is Imanaga. Assad has been excellent. Wicks sill eventually return. 

Build the roster around those guys. 

[LBiittner]

I love JD

[JHBulls]

9 k’s for Peralta but on 77 pitches. 

[UMFan83]

Holy crap is Swanson bad.

1 combined hit so far through 4 1/2 innings

Cubs are on pace to strike out 18 times tonight

Swanson needs to become incredibly expensive bench player.

Won't matter if Ben deals zeros

[LBiittner]

There went the perfect game

[LBiittner]

Amaya has a chicken wing

[UMFan83]

Oof, that long AB leading to a walk could have a devastating effect on this game simply because it will probably lengthen the amount of time the Cubs bullpen has to be in the game.

Also Brown has suddenly lost his control, hopefully he gets it back asap

Unfortunately even as efficiently as he's pitched he cant go all 9

[squally1313]

[JHBulls]
