Cubs 6, Brewers 4

In Postgame by berselius59 Comments

OSS: Brerrors help put the Cubs back to five up in the loss column.

Three up:

  1. Murphy homered to lead off the top of the fourth, which got the rest of the Cubs offense going.War Bear also hit a 6000 foot home run for some insurance later in the game.
  2. They got some help from multiple errors following a Rizzo single, but they got their hits in too. It was some great heads up baserunning from both Javy and Rizzo on that play.
  3. Q pitched into the seventh inning and turned in a quality start, though it was a little shaky at times. At least the starting staff is firing on some cylinders going into the stretch run.

Three down:

  1. Baez had a very Baez-y day all around, making some great plays on the bases but striking out three times.
  2. It looks like Schwarber tweaked his back on his HR, hopefully we will know more soon about how serious it might be.
  3. The Cardinals won.

Next up: The Cubs head to DC for a four game series with the Nats. Cyle, who is somehow the team leader in strikeouts, takes on Stephen Strasburg at 6:05 PM CT.

    Chatwood still leads the league in walks (13 more than the next highest) and he’s only thrown 7.2 innings since he was removed from the rotation after his start on July 26th.

    Apparently the Rams offered an “aggressive package” for Mack. That front four would’ve been:

    Mack – Donald – Suh – Brockers

    i don’t know about you guys but i’m already stressing about which jersey to show for #18. it’s basically impossible to choose between tsuyoshi wada, jason kendall, chris rusin, and steve christmas. hopefully we can skip right to #17 where the choice is obvious (felix pie).

    EnricoPallazzo,

    Geovany Soto would be a perfectly cromulent choice.

    I still have a Geo shirsey that I keep around for outdoor work, since it’s my only light colored Cubs shirsey. It’s also handy when you’re meeting someone at the ballpark since there aren’t likely to be many Geo shirseys in the crowd (dying laughing).

    Perkins,

    A lot of people will complain about Russell’s spot in the lineup, but the real issue is Almora’s getting a start against an RHP. Get well soon, Jason.

    berselius,

    I used to have a Joe Borowski jersey that served a similar purpose (being easily noticed). Soto looked like he’d be really good for a couple of years there.

    Why throw Reynolds a strike here? There were two outs. Who cares if you walk him? And Difo is a very weak hitter.
