Jason, I have always assumed you were older!

Assad in Game 1? Luckily the multi inning guys barely pitched in this series. I believe Soroka threw 6 pitches and Rea threw 15

I’d go with Rea.

We won the series and we haven’t even had our one game a week where we’re allowed to score more than 4 runs. 

[Max Power]

They’re doing the silly off day between games thing. In a dome. Just start the series on Sunday then.

Yea, looked it up, thought they went to 7 after this for whatever reason.

I guess you can consider Rea’s pitching on Wednesday his throwing day

[Stratos]

Cubs post-game stuff on MLB Network.

[UMFan83]

Happ looks hammered already

Rea piggybacked with Soroka is probably our best option unfortunately

The Cub will best the Brewer! So let it be written so so it be done!!!!!!!

They want all 4 division series starting on the same day so they can have a quadruple header. I guess the NL gets the day off between games this year. Works for me to give our arms a rest

[UMFan83]

little late But this can’t not be posted after that finish

Would help the Cubs big time, especially if they steal Game 1 and then they're able to rest the pen again the next day and give Boyd and Imanaga an extra day rest 

[UMFan83]

I say between NSBB and BrewerFanatic, the loser of the series has to shut down. As long as it’s the Brewers that lose

what kind of odds could you have gotten on palencia getting two Ws in the WC round a month ago when it looked like his arm exploded.?

Yeah I think you try and go Rea for 3ish, Soroka for 2, if you're ahead go to the short relievers and if you're behind go to Assad/Civale

I cannot believe that such a horrible call was made in such an important spot. Obviously happy to take advantage of it but it still rubs me the wrong way. Can’t wait for ABS

I still think Nico was safe at home, so I'm not going to lose any sleep over a bad strike call.

[CUBDOM4life]

Cubs own the brewers. They take this series at wrigley in 4 easy

[s2obed]

Enjoying the dub but they were 1-7 with RISP tonight. This has to change against the Brewers. Should’ve had at least 6 runs tonight.

[Stratos]

I'm watching Machado sulk like a little biatch right now.  Not sure there's 2 active players I dislike more than Tatis and Machado.  Except for the entire Milwaukee Brewers roster lol.

One of a whole bunch, so I’ll gladly allow it too

Not sure why this isn't embedding, but apparently the pitch to Bogaerts was a strike
