Cubs (Rea) vs Brewers (Priester): 7/29/25, 6:40pm

[Ding Dong Johnson]

Take a breath, Matty 

[DYMNO]

So it begins.

[Cubbies1996]

So much soft ass contact

[JBears79]

Glad we get to depend on Collin Rea.

He’s been pretty solid so far. Just incredibly unlucky 

[chibears55]

What the Brewers are getting with Vaughn was and is the type of impact player the Cubs needed to get when July rolled around and 3B was still very questionable, 

They still need that  player now whether it a hitter, pitcher, or both, just someone to give them that spark even like when they got Castellanos. 

[Chicago Al]

Really wanted Happ to bunt during his AB. Game would’ve been 2-1 instead of a tie game right now.

[PeanutPunch33]

I’ve gotten so used to Shaw making that play. Should be 1-0 still 

[Cubbies1996]

Manifesting a big inning here 🔥

Would you take any Brewers position player over any Cubs position player right now?

Chourio to right, Tucker to left, Happ to the bench, but that it's it

[Ding Dong Johnson]

The top of the order makes me sad right now

[Hot Sauce]

Seiya needs to sit.

This is assuming he gets it down and runners move up. No sure thing. He hit the ball 108MPH. Bunt was not the right play. 

[DYMNO]

Also, I’m sure I’ll get roasted for saying this, but I’m not sure Tucker is worth $450 million. I know he’s a great player with a solid track record that gets on base, but I just don’t have him in that superstar, half-a-billion dollar tier. I’m also an idiot, so please, take that into account.

They have been brutal. 

[Geographyhater8888]

I could throw it underhanded and let it bounce to the plate and as long as it’s a 2 strike count thrown on the outside corner, Seiya will swing and miss.

If we signed Andrew Vaughn when the brewers did you would have complained about it so effing much

What? No.

First of all, he absolutely scalded the ball, just really unlucky placement. PCA still advanced to 3rd. Absolutely did his job

Seems silly to assume a perfect bunt from Happy anyway

If the bunt is successful they score 2 runs that inning. If Happ strikes out most people would’ve been screaming for him to have bunted there.

[Cubbies1996]

Obviously beating a dead horse, but Jed needs to make a trade 😂😂 lineup and pitching staff need an injection of energy 

[JHBulls]

I wonder how many other clubs announcer is like Boog where they are still talking a day later about a good play an opposition player made. I get he’s a national guy, but I would like him to be a homer when he’s working Cubs game which is his main job. 

[PeanutPunch33]

This is just sad to watch as a fan. Non competitive ABs and mediocre pitching in the biggest series of the year 

[Cubbies1996]

So tired of this pitching staff and so tired of the damn Brewers
