PCA needs to get this tantrum BS under control. I like how he plays the game and im not against him showing emotion but im sick of watching him throw the bat after every strikeout.

 

Maybe i sound like an old man yelling at a ckoud but thay horsefeathers cant be good for your mental

He's what....23 years old? Just frustrated, that's all....you know, like us

This thing where every opponent has an endless arsenal of lefty pitchers to throw in the game at any convenient point is really aggravating

Not that it matters but, I believe they used up their best lefties yesterday.

Another nail biter against the ****** Orioles. This team hasn’t Been fun to watch since Fourth of July weekend.

[Eeyore]

I would like to thank the umpire for giving pitching advice to Pomeranz.

"Pressing" is his default mode

Said it before, all athletes regardless of sport eventually revert back to their old, bad habits and then must retrain themselves to break them again.

Brewers up 12-1.

[gflore34]

Is this the inning where they finally hit some bad pitching?  It's got to happen sometime right?

Riiiiiiight.....keep telling yourself that. Whatever gets you through the night man. He sucks and it's nothing new. Guy was a bad signing and the proof is in his bad numbers.

"Jameson Taillon has shown inconsistency on the mound, with stretches of strong performances offset by outings where he struggles with pitch counts and giving up hits. While he has had moments of success, including a stretch of five consecutive wins with two or fewer runs allowed, his overall numbers have been impacted by issues like high pitch counts, allowing traffic on the bases, and giving up home runs"

 

He was signed to be a solid #3 MOR kinda guy and he's not living up to that....at all.

Up until his last 3 starts before he went on the IL, he had started 14 games of which 10 were quality starts. 2 others he went only 5 and 5.1 innings. But gave up 1 run in  one game and 2 runs in another. Last year he had a solid season. He did struggle his first year here. But I would say 10 of 14 QS is pretty much what is expected from a MOR starter. He isn’t great. No one will suggest that. But a healthy Taillon would help this team.

I know. Im not shiting on him. Just think maybe going more zen like im trying to do rn could benefit him

[Geographyhater8888]

Brewers will end the day with the highest run differential in baseball by 6 runs as of now. A week ago cubs and brewers were separated by 24 runs.

There ya go, Dansby!

Dansby getting a hit with a runner in scoring position. Hell is freezing over

[profisme]

Well done Nico! Way to get it to the pitcher’s spot in the lineup to turn it over for next inning. 😉

[gflore34]

Another horsefeathers meatball, a refreshing change this time.  Come on Busch take advantage of LF.

Good AB by Busch. That’s just a great pitch.

[PeanutPunch33]

Pretty good start today from Rea and solid bounce back game for Pomeranz

He needs to protect, not guess, with 2 strikes

Was just about to type it's good they're getting the obligatory Swanson K out of the way this inning.

Move Happ back to leadoff now that he’s starting to heat up so bullpens can stop exploiting the lefty heavy top of the order 

[BigSlick]

boy howdy it would be nice to just be up 10 runs like the brewers are in around half of their games

[BigSlick]

can the cubs avoid another horrific, backbreaking collapse in this game? 

its possible, but i wouldn't bet on it
