Maybe, but the Brewers could really use this game. I’m guessing they’d rather pitch their better more proven pitcher who has historically dominated the Cubs and push their rookie back to Friday
horsefeathers I meant Coors. Baseball Savant had that as a HR at every park except Coors. My bad. But yeah that does seem wrong since it’s 415 to dead center and that was nowhere close to dead center.
If this game was played at Yankee Stadium or the Yankees minor league park (Steinbrenner Field), Tucker would have had 3 HRs today. If the game was played at the Brewers stadium, Tucker would have 2 HRs and Seiya 0.
The is the first time the Cubs have ended the night 6+ games ahead in 1st since the last week of the 2017 season.
the most games up they’ve been since 2016 is 7 games.
Tonight is only the 5th time in 34 home games the wind has blown out according to Jesse. In the previous 4 games the teams combined for an average of 17 runs scored.
