2019-07-26: Cubs (Hendricks) at Brewers (González) [Brewers win, 3-2 -- Gio goes 6.1 IP, 3 H, 2 R, 1 BB, 9 SO before exiting with shoulder tightness; Gamel’s 2-RBI go ahead single in 8th is the game winner]

Fox Sports terminated its relationship with Sling. Really lame. Anyone use a different streaming service? I'm sure there has to be one, but there are so many I'm not aware of one that has FSNWI.

 

My brother-in-law here in Green Bay uses Hulu - they decided to quit Spectrum - and we can get that via our Sling Box when we are in FL (this is different than Sling TV) but the picture quality is not so hot using the Sling Box.

I didn’t realize 1B was Shaw’s original natural position. It seemed like he was billed as a 3B when the Brewers acquired him and that he had played mostly at 3B in his last year in Boston.

 

I thought so too...

Im not gonna say "must win", however this series will be the catalyst of how the rest of the season is handled. A Brewers sweep, big buy. Cubs sweep, big sell. Take two, pick up some pieces. Take one, may sell a little. May tonight be the start of a big losing streak for the Cubs, where the fans riot at Wrigley! They are insufferable!

 

+2 ;)

If Gio can hold serve and the Crew can just make Hendricks work in the bottom of the inning, they can get into that soft Cubs bullpen before we have to get into the soft Crew bullpen. That may decide this one.

 

I don't think our pen is as soft as theirs. Hauser, Freddy, Albers (and of course Hader ;) ) aren't too bad.

For me, it's because most of those services lack channels I absolutely NEED to have like CBSSports Network, NFL Network, FS1& FS2...some of them have some but I have yet to find one of those services that have all of them. It's frustrating. I have been with Directv for over 15 years so, they have served me well.

 

People actually watch the NFL Network?

 

Yes

 

I do too via cable (Comcast) in FL. I get all of those channels nate82 spoke of here - but not FS2 - plus NBCsports channel.

Moose and grandal specifically have gone really cold as of late. Moose had the one big homer but can’t count on Yelich to save you every game.

Moose has an Ops of 831 since the break. That is solid

 

And Grandal is patient at the plate and is getting walks. Too bad he gets left on base too much... :-/

I think Houser has a real shot at being a useful starter, Freddy less so. I’d move Houser into the rotation, keep Freddy where he is and hope you can get a semi useful bullpen piece or two for cheap at the deadline.

 

I like Freddy in the pen too. If he can become a reliable closer that will be great not fretting about not have Hader available in back to back games.
