Cubs (Peterson) vs Brewers (Harrison): 6/27/26, 6:10pm

[Neuby]

Vince Vazquez is the new closer.

Nice W

Good start from new guy and got a couple big RBI hits from middle of order

[mk49]

A huge win.

[Bertz]

Velasquez getting into this game and only pitching one inning is...curious.  I assumed he was up to give length at some point this weekend.  I would have expected him to get both the 8th and 9th, or be held back for tomorrow?

I wonder if they have a roster move coming (Wicks?) and he's getting cut again prior to tomorrow's game regardless.

So who the hell is pitching tomorrow?

You might be right, but if Velasquez stays, I think he would probably pitch an inning or two tomorrow.

Wasn't Jordan Wicks slated to start tonight but then it got changed to Kipp?

I'd guess it's Wicks up tomorrow.

Best case scenario happened tonight.  Got an easy win, Peterson’s first start with us went well.  We won’t get swept which I’m calling a success in itself playing against a top team in their building with a MASH unit pitching staff.  Maybe we can play a little looser tomorrow and scratch out a series win.

Avoided disaster and a win tomorrow makes me feel as good about this team as I have in a while.

As long as we score 8 runs we’re fine.

Rolison opener tomorrow, presumably handing off to Wilson from there.

[Tangled Up in Plaid]

Seattle Mariners caught the Cubs RISP stuff I think, they haven't scored more than 3 runs in a game in 2 weeks
