Cubs (Rea) vs Brewers (Misiorowski): 6/26/26, 6:45pm

[731.4life]

Man, I was wrong about Collin Rea. Had a little hiccup in the first inning. But with a runner on 3rd and 0 outs, what a way to man up and get the job done.

This has been a great performance so far for the Cubs. I know we only have 1 run and 1 hit to show for, but driving the pitch count up by the offense has been a win so far.

Man,  cubs bullpen better not suck tonight after what Rea has given them

[Derwood]

I'd say "nice work, now go to the pen", but the pen is just a pile of bones and a half drunk bullpen catcher

I horsefeathers talked his signing last off-season and all he has done has consistently made me feel real dumb for that take. 

As an aside these are the things I like being wrong about.

Good time for Busch to square one up here

I don’t understand our lack of challenging sometimes

I haven't seen a hitter challenge anything in a hot minute. My assumption is that Carson Kelly is *so* good at them, that they don't want hitters to waste them.

[chibears55]

Does Suzuki have another hit in him 

[chibears55]

Ball hit security guy on the noggins

[Jason Ross]

That was a strike on Suzuki, but because Contreras horsefeathered up twice, it was a walk. 

The rules are kind of dumb, but I gain new appreciations for Kelly every day.

[chibears55]

Come on Happ, 1 big hit here

[chibears55]

At least pretend it did, make them review it..lol

Get Miz out of rhythm 

Happ 😢

Sucks we couldn't get one home; but Miz is done. You got the lead. That's still a good outcome against this guy.

[Papa Cub]

Whelp - huge opportunity squandered. Ugh 

[UMFan83]

Imagine telling someone 30 years ago that there was going to be a pitcher throwing 103 MPH after his 100th pitch of the night. It’s not fair

[Derwood]

Those are impossible to hit pitches up and in at 103

[Papa Cub]

Uribe, Ashby, Megill? In that order?

Probably cause the pitchers need all the help they can get now, saving them for them

[chibears55]

Swanson  ... use the glove, you had time

[chibears55]

Get him out

[chibears55]

Wasted an opportunity to add on, now need to get out of a jam to keep lead

[Derwood]

Not great, Craig
