I don’t know what Happ’s bat speed looks like these days but right there he looked so overmatched.

In his defense, that's the best pitcher in baseball throwing arguably the best pitch in baseball. Most people look overmatched there.

[Derwood]

1 run, ehhhh, but running up a pitch count is good. Cubs hitters are not intimidated by this goon

[chibears55]

Key to hitting 100+ is not to overswing and go the other way, and get that pitch count up...

Isn’t Peterson the guy who might be tipping pitches?

That’s fair.

[Tangled Up in Plaid]

this loser can't keep a horsefeathers lead for 2 batters, lol

[chibears55]

And of course that lead is gone in 2 batters

[Geographyhater8888]

Another signature pussy brewers hit. 

[Jason Ross]

Ugh. Two well hit balls, but two balls that just found a way down, too.

[Derwood]

BABIP magic gonna BABIP magic

[Jason Ross]

Effectively 0-0. If Peterson can match Miz, that's a pretty good outcome.

[JHBulls]

William Contreras goes to challenge, decides not to… but complains to the umpire anyway. 

[abuck1220]

6 pitch k from Amaya is probably his best case scenario vs miz

I’m still mad about 69.  And giving. Schwab’s away.  Just letting him go. Rickets the real estate guy. Reminds me of another stupid guy

Losses

[Jason Ross]

I can live with 40 pitches through two innings. 

[Papa Cub]

It was the don't give up a homer sequence.

all Sanchez is trying to do is pull the ball over the fence and everyone our staff is understandably shell shocked.

or Peterson is just bad

[Funky-daddy]

Bregman went into tonight 11th in fwar for position players. Pretty amazing second half 

[Tangled Up in Plaid]

We may never get Chourio out again. Doesn't matter what he horsefeathers does

I am so very happy to have been wrong about him.  I was very concerned about how his Cubs career began for the first few months.

[UMFan83]

Figured there’s an 87% chance the brewers scored after getting a weak contact IF single with 2 outs and no one on. Thats how it always starts

Ok, I keep hearing that a relief pitcher HAS to be able to pitch back to back days to be useful and I'm getting a little tired of that narrative.

There are 8+ guys in a bullpen.  Is it really that critical that every single guy has to be able to pitch back to back?  I understand that ideally everyone in the pen is available everyday, but that seems to be oversimplifying things a bit.  I think you can afford to carry a reliever that can't pitch back to back if they can be a productive pitcher once every 2-3 days.

Yeah, I'd take Miller or Steele twice a week over horsefeathers Trent Thornton
