As much as Seiya sucks, when bases are loaded, we started winning, when he came back.  What does that mean?  Maybe, nothing, but we're having fun!

Him being back set up Ballesteros being the everyday DH and moved Shaw and Conforto to the bench where they have strived and helped later in games.

Yeah, Dansby is a very smart base runner.

That should have been an error, right? 

He never touched it

cubs W7 and reds L5 sure flipped the standings quickly 

[UMFan83]

17-3 on our last 20. Is that good?  That’s the kind of run that almost broke me last year when the Brewers did something similar

And, so far, Craig has done great.  Well, most of the time.

I feel like the Brewers went 27-4 or some horsefeathers

What a stupid June 2025 Brewers ass win

[Irrelevant Dude]

I never expected to be Googling "Ryan Rolison contract" at any point this season.

Of course I like that Dansby started running for third now because it’s post-win, but not sure I’d recommend running with 0 outs. It should have been easily fielded and Dansby would have been thrown out at 3rd base if De La Cruz threw over to 3rd. 

he would have been safe by 10 million miles had there been a throw there, which there wouldn’t have been.

Not sure if he would of gotten him, the ball was up the middle,  so ball behind him he's running,  De La Cruz would of needed to gun it on a strike to 3rd to get him with a off balance throw.

We're really in the midst of a '25 Brewers type of run

Brewers went 29-4 I think. I’ll take 12-1 over the next 13 please. It’s only fair.

[mk49]

I have to wonder if our pitchers were good or the Reds hitters sucked.  Aside from a couple of guys, they don't look good.

Yeah, I checked. Jul 6 - Aug 16

[NorthsideAvenger]

I just saw how the game ended and boy Cruz really did a very nice Roger Dorn impersonation.

Brewers deserve to finish in last this year after the horseshoe season they had last year

[Post Count Padder]

I knew I'd seen that move from Elly before

If the Cubs just don't lose another home game this season, I feel good about their postseason chances.

Jamo was way better than our offense.  Kind of frustrating, but we'll score some runs, and win another game tonight.

Hey, I'm a prophet again!

Good for you, really.  I'm far far away from Chicago, and someday, I'll be there.  I've seen a few Cubs games, when they came to SF, but Wrigley must be special.
