Brewers (Priester) vs Cubs (Taillon): 10/8/25, 4:08pm

[squally1313]

Quintana warming up now apparently. So yeah, Peralta tomorrow, Ashby/Ms game 5?

[Manny Trillos Brother]

CC's message to Shaw should be to absolutely not swing under any circumstance.

 

[We Got The Whole 9]

Of course Shaw ends it with a feckless K

Freddy on short rest is better than fully rested Fred.

If Shaw actually does something positive here, I'll allow myself some hope for this series.

Can't hit with tears in your eyes

hat tip to TT, but still four days rest rigiht? Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday?

[Cuzi]

When you check swing a pitch middle middle and then swing out of your shoes at a shoulder high fastball, you just might be in a funk.

It's not short rest though, it's just not extra rest

[chibears55]

Should eat into this bullpen today, which could bold well for tomorrow, but they need to add on and not let Quintana go 4-5 innings.

Man, I can't count. I just told my students how I failed Algebra 2 three times today.

[CubinNY]

Good start. Don’t horsefeathers the bed now.

Yeah but like did you consider counting to five is really hard?

[I owned a Suzuki]

TRY NOT TO SUCK

This is bad logic, but a 10-8 victory is way more damaging here than a 9-1 victory. We go up 6 or 7 they'll probably just punt with Quintana and Gasser. The game stays close and they're going to want to use their top arms.

Javier Baez 2-3 with 3 rbi and a Homer today. Its all things Cubs today

Isn’t that kind of a double edged sword? A 9-1 game means Taillon probably goes 6-7 and saves our pen too.

[BigSlick]

Boys: can you hold onto another 3 run lead in the first inning? It can’t be that hard

The goofy schedule has everyone a little confused.

[JHBulls]

Such a shame Horton can’t pitch in this series. How much different would Game 1 or 2 have looked. 

[Max Power]

Let’s light this bum up.

[gflore34]

horsefeathers finally a shut down inning!!!!!  It's a start.  I believe there's an excellent chance Shaw doesn't put another ball in play until spring trainer 2026.  I don't know WTF he's doing, appears he's trying to hit every 2000 mph.

I think our guys a little more....interchangeable (not a compliment) than the Brewers. That and the fact that we've already seen Koenig twice and Uribe and Megill once (and those guys would be looking at 3 appearances in 4 days) whereas Kittredge, Keller, and Thielbar haven't pitched in this series yet. But I get your point.

Letting Busch hit against Quintana should tell you something about what Counsell thinks of Q.

[Max Power]

Is the score wrong on the scorebug?
