Pretty much nightmare scenario . They will try to avoid a sweep against Peralta  . Good luck with that .

I don’t think we have ever hit him well.  This smelled like a sweep after we didn’t knock out Miz in the first inning.  The brewers just have so much more composure than we do. Of course there is no pressure on them since they are the permanent underdog 

[PeanutPunch33]

It's so horsefeathers Cubs that he missed that by an inch 

[Hot Sauce]

This close to a tie game. 🤏🏻

[muntjack]

Quite the frustrating game. 

[Michael Busch Light]

Pretty much 100 percent chance of a strikeout after missing the homer 

[Cubbies1996]

Come on, Shaw…

[Cubbies1996]

Just a pathetic, mentally soft team. 

[Soul]

Just don’t get any more base runners on.  At the end of the day I’ll feel better.

Brewers just a little better right now overall, which is what I said in here a week ago and got roundly criticized by a few of you...Jed needs to get busy in the next 48 hours. Not a serious contender presently. Need to salvage one tomorrow to avoid the sweep

I do not think they are better at all but they are clearly in the Cubs head. Until the Cubs work that ish out about the Brewers, they won't climb over them. 

[Cubbies1996]

And Pressly is going to put this game wayyyyy out of reach

Gimme a break....they aren't "in their head'' whatsoever. Just playing better baseball than the Cubs right now, and are the better team. Proof is in the pudding: no excuses. Good news is JH has a shot to make us better the next 48 hours. He needs to get to work. 

[muntjack]

Again, Pressly gives up tons of hard contact and doesn't miss bats.  

 

[Michael Busch Light]

We need like 5 new arms and at least a bat

[Irrelevant Dude]

Cubs relievers racing to the front of the line to be the next guy DFA'd

[PeanutPunch33]

LOL

[Soul]

And that’s just about as apropos as it gets.

[Irrelevant Dude]

Of course, Andrew Vaughn 😀 

[DrCub]

You’ve gotten to ******* be kidding me….

[Irrelevant Dude]

Ryan Pressly is literally unplayable.

[Geographyhater8888]

I wish awful things on Andrew Vaughn.

Can we call this series the “Curse of the early Hoyer extension?”

[javy knows my name]

Hahahahahaha

Nothing really new there. He is the main reason (along with Hodge's health) that Hoyer needs to trade for a reliever and soon.

Shota better bring it tomorrow. Hopefully Counsell shakes up the lineup. May do some good for Seiya and Tuck.
