Are you intimidated, Matt, what the hell?

Collins is intimidating, he's so short it's hard to throw a strike.

[BigSlick]

Oh man this is gonna be a bad game 

[Derwood]

3 walks in the inning, 43 pitches through 1 2/3

[We Got The Whole 9]

Deja vu here. They are very well prepared for Boyd. Not chasing horsefeathers.

[We Got The Whole 9]

Thankfully a different result. But he must put together some efficient innings now.

[Tangled Up in Plaid]

Jesus can we have one easy win?

[Brian707]

Im old enough to remember earlier in the season when the Cubs would run up pitch counts

[chibears55]

Maybe the tide turned for this game, cubs get the big 2 out bases loaded hit and the Brewers get the weak foul pop out.

🤷‍♂️😅

You can see why the Brewers score the amount of runs they do , despite been in the middle of the nl in home runs . They simply don’t chase and work at bats .  

[We Got The Whole 9]

Damn that wasnt even a good throw. I want our run game back.

[Derwood]

Not mad about trying to steal bases. Good throw by Willlllliam

Maybe the numbers dont show it but really seems like we've gotten thrown out a lot on the bases lately.

The league leading BABIP doesn't hurt. We actually have a better K rate than they do on the year....they are better on most of the per pitch metrics (out of zone swing, contact, etc), but it's generally a situation where they are 2nd or 3rd and we're 5th or 6th.

Naturally in a slump like this you’ll see a reduction in TWTW.

It was accurate enough to get him out by a foot....

The pop was great but the throw was high. I digress, doesn't matter.

 

Thats insane that they have more runs than we have hits this month. What a stat.

I thought it was a good throw.

Caissie certainly isn't smooth in the OF but he seems to be able to make the plays.

[squally1313]

Caissie could have thrown Contreras out at first base if he wouldn't have caught that, but the whole hustle thing is uniquely a Kyle Tucker issue. 

[Rex Buckingham]

I'm trying to decide if those catches were deceptively hard, or if Caissie just made them look that way

[Gjfificifjdej]

Nothing could ever convince me Tucker even gets a glove on either of those flyouts

[Hot Sauce]

I see Caissie’s defense is going to result in a lot of butthole clinching.

The Brewers only care about fundamentals!  They don't need no fancy analytics!  Barglebargle

This is silly.
