Brewers (Strider) vs Cubs (Rea): 9/1/25, 3:05pm

[Brandon Glick]

Hand up, had no idea how bad Strider has been this year. He's still whiffing and striking guys out a ton, but this is not the Strider of yore. Hopefully, the Cubs can take advantage,

What a thoroughly obnoxious start time

[CubinNY]

Braves, not Brewers.

Interesting.  Velo is down significantly this year.

Ben Cowles DFAd for Santana. Kind of a bummer but the bench has been a nightmare all year and they never bothered giving him a shot, so...

Some movement today..

Guess Iowa needed Caissie more than Alcantara for their playoffs..lol

I agree. I know it's labor day but why does that mean you have to change from the normal Wrigley day game time?

[JHBulls]

Good opportunity to shorten the division gap. Next 9 against the Braves and Nationals. Brewers have 6 of their next 9 against the Phillies and Rangers.

Braves kind of scare me, their lineup looks pretty decent. Thankfully we're missing Sale at least once.

With Santana here, it likely makes more sense for them to have the position variability that Alcantara possess over Caissie. Neither will play much.

I'm guessing Strider hits double digits in Ks

[Rex Buckingham]

I for one am shocked that Ozzie Albies drove in a run at the first opportunity against the Cubs

Because they needed to get back from Colorado?

 

[Irrelevant Dude]

That was something.

[JHBulls]

Holy horsefeathers, PCA! That was one of the best catches I have seen all year.

30 minutes later the Brewers are winning and Cubs losing

Edit: Reds already beat the Blue Jays today too.  Lots of opportunity to lose ground today...

Fastball down the middle, groundout to third. Slider down the middle, broken bat groundout to 2nd. Yikes.

[Cubbies1996]

Great ABs so far 😂😂😂😂

[Guest]

Acuna looks kind of ridiculous with all the yellow gear

[Rex Buckingham]

Rea has no command of his fastball

[Gjfificifjdej]

Colin Rea probably isn’t a bad guy but his face makes me angry. 

[Derwood]

Slider 3" off the ground and Baldwin hits it 107mph

cool cool cool

[Derwood]

PCA, you idiot

[Cubbies1996]

God this team is such a joke. 

[Gjfificifjdej]

Tucker continues to be an absolute liability in the outfield. Never did think Ricketts would pay his price in the offseason and don’t think thats a bad thing anymore. Unlikable player
