Cubs (Imanaga) @ Brewers (WIlson) :: 5/29/24, 6:40pm, Marquee

Where the heck did this Ortiz kid come from?  Why do the Brewers keep getting restocked with no-name players that annoy me and play well against the Cubs the same way the Cards have generic white guys who do that?

[Rex Buckingham]

Ortiz was a legit prospect in Baltimore... blocked by Henderson, Mayo, Holliday, et al... part of the Burnes deal

[profisme]

Well we can stop watching early tonight it appears.  Is it possible Shota got too much rest between starts?

[Derwood]

If any team is going to miraculously put 8 up on Shota, it's these fuucking Brewers

Anyone else have a bad feeling about Shota tonight? Regression has to come sometime and this would be about the worst time it could happen for us. 

[chibears55]

Maybe he should of started Saturday against the Cardinals 🤷‍♂️🙄

[squally1313]

Oh no now shota is broken.  Does he have options to go get straightened out??

[We Got The Whole 9]

You got a 3-1 and you swing at a cutter in the shadow zone at your knees, Christopher?

[Rex Buckingham]

couple really hard hit balls early that MIL has made good plays on

[profisme]

That is about 7 innings too early but I'll take it.

[Rex Buckingham]

Ian coming to life is nice

Ian Happ is a unicorn. What a baseball player

Didn't make a play on that one

[squally1313]

Live wRC for Ian ‘trade him for a bag of balls’ Happ: 109

[chopsx9]

I will point out again that I benched Happ on my Fantasy team this week..  You're all welcome.

[chibears55]

Bluejays in town playing the Sox, hope Hoyer talking with them about Jansen and maybe Bichette too.

Glad to see Happ coming around. No doubt he’s been frustrating but he has a long track record of being a competent hitter. Sometimes you just have to be patient with him. 

[Rex Buckingham]

Good job by Dansby getting the lineup to roll over

[chibears55]

Someone needs to tell the CF cameraman to clean his lense

There's no reason to pitch to Swanson with 2 outs when Gomes couldn't hit coach-pitch little league pitching

Nice little patch of NL central teams in the schedule so he should be able to boost his numbers up a bit before they start facing non divisional teams. 

[UMFan83]

I’m wondering if Swanson was moved down to 8th to get him going again knowing that teams were gonna pitch around him to get to our pitcher spot (aka Amaya/Gomes). Not sure if that even makes sense but it seems like opponents lately are happy to try to force our catchers to bat when there’s 2 outs. 

[Rex Buckingham]

Seiya took his time making that throw...

[JHBulls]

Shota doesn’t have it today?
