How many auto outs do we have on this team right now and why are they all in the middle of the order?

We’ll always have the memories of April Kelly.

It was wonderful while it lasted.  But he is not a good hitter, and I’d be shocked if he’s a positive the rest of the year at the plate 

[DYMNO]

Runs, please. Thank you in advance for your time and consideration. 

[Hot Sauce]

Bless her heart, that was awful.

Pitchers at first, but hitters would catch on to the inevitable predictability of the zone and you'd then see offensive numbers start to spike.

My first thought was hitters because I figured this would force pitchers to throw more into the zone, so yea maybe at first it would benefit pitching cause theyd be trying to hit the edges more, and then maybe cause like you said hitters will start to figure out that zone better with more and more PA.

3-4-5 due up in the 8th for Milwaukee....gonna be interesting to see who comes in

[Derwood]

Oh, we're now down to the Pickle Ball Champ as guest director

[Geographyhater8888]

We can just assume the offense won’t score here, do you go Palencia in the 8th vs their 3-4-5 hitters?

Why are we seeing more of these guest singers that nobody really knows who they are?

Wish theyd just stick with Harry on the video board

[Cubbies1996]

Anyone know who’s warming up in the pen? (Please not Brasier)

Definitely thought about that,.  Though this inning appears to be going quickly and Thielbar has only thrown 17 pitches.  Might consider keeping him in through Yelich for the lefty matchup?  That might be too much to ask.

[PeanutPunch33]

hopefully Keller and Palencia to finish it off

Keller.

[Jason Ross]

Owen Caissie! 

Not a DH.

[DYMNO]

ONKC!

7 or 8 lol

Seriously outside of Shaw and Hoerner, the rest of the lineup is a coin flip.

No matter what order Counsell goes with now theres no hiding anyone

[Jason Ross]

xBA of .790 on that hit that Caissie stole.

[chibears55]

Caissie likely saved a possible run scoring inning for the Brewers with that catch. 

[DYMNO]

Ok, Cubs: make like State Farm, and get me some insurance. 

[Hot Sauce]

Caissie was the shot in the arm this team needed.

[Chicago Al]

1 or 2 more runs please offense.
