Brewers (TBD) vs Cubs (TBD): 10/9/25, 8:08pm

[Jason Ross]

I would guess whomever starts on Saturday isn't being asked to get more than six outs. Whether its an opener or Shota...I think it's just a full staff game and the starter isn't like, a "starter".

Brewer fans from Kenosha to Sheboygan right now

Are we all in agreement that we go with a pen game on Saturday?  Shota should not pitch in the game. Save him for a game 3 against the Dodgers.  
 

getting WAY ahead of myself but Taillon, Horton, Boyd, Shota is good setup in a potential NLCS

Would Horton be available next series? 

They didn't say he's out for season? 

[ILMindState]

Maybe Brown starts Saturday?

Why Thielbar?

Craig had a number of runs they needed to be up to trust Ben brown. Six was not that number, apparently.

I swear they showed 730 ET on the broadcast earlier. They showed 8 for the Seattle game tomorrow which is what MLB.com says.

TBS's graphics have not been very airtight, early in the game they called Ortiz Jake Bauers in a graphic

He threw a 30ish pitch bullpen the other day, if they advance he's almost certainly on the roster

Boyd I assume would go in Game 2 on normal rest.

[SOFNR]

Hell yah. Dub. Nice bounceback from Boyd. Great job from the bullpen. Bats finally decided to show up past the first inning. Staying alive.

[We Got The Whole 9]

What a horsefeathers statement win 

[SpongeWorthy]

anyone know what the record in game 5 of a DS is for the team coming back from 0-2?

[Jason Ross]

Come join us. Let's celebrate, guys.

[Rex Buckingham]

all the pressure is on Milwaukee... 

[DYMNO]

[muntjack]

Did they slightly speed up Go Cubs Go or an I having a stroke?

[SparkMark1]

My wedding anniversary is the 17th.  I'd love for my wife to take me to game 4 of the NLCS!  😄

[soccer10k]

So we had...

A nervy 1-run win in Game 3 (Game 5 of the WS)
A relatively comfortable 6 run win in Game 4 (Game 6 of the WS, though that was much less in doubt)

So clearly we're going to win in 10 innings on Saturday.

[Tryptamine]

50/50 chance I die from anxiety on Saturday.

[Caesar]

Thielbar looks like private Pile from full metal jacket!

3-2

[mk49]

I'm a big Shota fan, but I want Rea to start the Game 5.  Just like Boyd did tonight, Shota could pitch well, but I feel way more comfortable with Rea, and I think most of you guys agree.

[chibears55]

W..

So glad the Brewers didn't win at Wrigley 

Game 5 is more than winnable now for the cubs.

[Dfan25]

Never in a million years I thought they would be able to take this series back to Milwaukee . Hats off to Boyd , didn’t think he had this left in him . We are alive , baby !

It's the old "coverage starts" gambit. The game starts at 8:08
