Cubs-Brewers Game One Thread, By The Numbers

[Stratos]

Boyd is gone.

[Jason Ross]

After today the Cubs will have the rest of their pitching on normal rest. First inning has been rough, but I understand the logic here. 

Colin Rea has not been particularly great against Milwaukee himself.

5.2IP, 3ER, 5BB, 4 K in August
4IP, 2 ER, 1 BB, 2 K in August
So that's 5 runs in 9 innings with as many walks as K's. 

I'm not sure there was a great choice game 1 coming off the series. But this the advantage of being the 1 seed and not the 4 seed.

[We Got The Whole 9]

And now and exhausting AB leads to another run

 

Great horsefeathers decision Cubs. He's now allowed 13 runs in 11 innings vs them and has thrown 30 pitches in the 1st.

[Hortonhearsawho]

I'm out lol

[Soul]

Typical Brewers at bat.  Spoiled a bucket load of pitches then a hit.

Huge majority of guys on this board said as much (including me) and yet CC and the Cubs brain trust did what they did. Shoulda been Rea or Assad like I said before. Too late now. 

That was dripping with sarcasm just so you know. 

[JHBulls]

This is disgusting. 

[mk49]

Rea should have started.

[Wilson A2000]

Counsell knows this is almost all on him

[Rex Buckingham]

this game feels over

[Tangled Up in Plaid]

Yikes. Oh well.

[UMFan83]

And in 2/3 of an inning Boyd has allowed almost as many runs as the entire staff allowed against the Padres (albeit with an error)

[Stratos]

Making up 3 runs on Peralta will be very tough.

It’s been rough? Lol.

My mom should have started.

[Irrelevant Dude]

Counsell's body language is not great.  He knows he screwed up.

Even if it happens it’s unlikely they are done scoring 

[We Got The Whole 9]

Colossal fuckup. All involved are morons.

[Stratos]

For some reason i'm getting like half a second delay of the broadcast where the sound happens before the video.

[Geographyhater8888]

That was fun for almost 10

minutes.

[s2obed]

Stupid decision. Everyone questioned it, except counsel apparently
