Not egregious, but frustrating. Woodruff doesn't need any help

[Hot Sauce]

Not a ball in play with a runner on 3rd and less than 2 outs. 😔

[Tangled Up in Plaid]

Taillon is such ass.

I’m so sick of watching Kelly watch strikes.  

It was out of the zone, however. Ump gave a wide right late. 

[Cubbies1996]

Well we all know how this game will go now. Woodruff will get the next 10-12 hitters out and the Cubs won’t have any serious threats until maybe the 6th or 7th inning and when they do threaten to score they’ll piss down their legs and then the Brewers will score 3 more runs

How is a pitch comm malfunction a mound visit? 

[profisme]

Jesus christ cover the bag! I honestly cannot stand Taillon. 

[Derwood]

Taillon won't make it through 3 innings with this pitch count

[DYMNO]

Brewer runs incoming.

 

or not.

He didn't want to collide with Busch, who he thought was making the play on his own

You are correct. I saw that in the replay. Second statement I stand by though. 

[profisme]

I recall Brant Brown had a great rookie doubleheader back in the day. Hopefully Caissie goes big in this game too. 

[profisme]

Who knew the oompa loompa all-stars were so good?

[DYMNO]

Tucker who? (I kid, of course)

[Wilson A2000]

My man!

[JHBulls]

I like Cassie. A lot.

Damn, don't associate him with Brant Brown.

It was damn near touching the k zone line.  In that count and situation you cannot let a pitch that close go.

You never know with these rookies

Caissie off to a good start 

[DYMNO]

Good lord, Dansby sucks. 

[Derwood]

Caissie lucked out on that ball 3 call then made them pay

I mean obviously the one thing, but otherwise Brown was pretty decent for a milquetoast lefty white dude.

Eventually luck has to swing back this way right?

Sometimes a guy with no reliable advance scouting data is worth more than guys with more experience

Or just something other than what we have seen repeatedly hasn't been working?
