2021-06-30: Cubs (Arrieta) at Brewers (Ashby) [Brewers win, 15-7 -- Cubs score 7 in 1st inning; Crew responds with 15 unanswered]

[folly412]

Imagine trailing 7-0 and pulling your starter before even being on offense.

 

And then leading 14-7 after the fourth.

 

And it not being a football game.

[markedman5]

this game. casual 14-0 run for Milwaukee. No, not the Bucks.

 

It did take 4 innings though

[Patrick425]

Half time. Wonder what analysis Bradshaw and Long will provide about this game.

Adames trade officially a winner

 

Ironically Rasmussen started today and gave up 2 runs in the first. Still think he will be very good for Rays, but we really needed the life that Adames has given the offense.

[Nola Beery]

Keep going until Sogard is pitching.

[JET15]

Is 2021 the year of two seasons? The pre-Willy-Adames (PWA) and post-Willy-Adames periods?

 

Too early to say, but this is rocking this team like the CC Sabathia pickup

[liveforoctober]

So the Brewers have a 10 run, an 8 run, and a 5 run inning in this series against the Cubbies. Dang.

[SeaBass]

Gettin' Jiggy With It

 

[Patrick425]

JBJ! What’s going on here?

 

Dude's not a bad player. Never has been. He's reverting to career norms.

 

 

I think the Cubs bullpen also is regressing to the norm.

[jerichoholicninja]

Well at least if the Brewers do comeback and somehow win this game it will be absolutely soul crushing for these Cubs fans.

 

I gave up after the top of the 1st to go do some work outside and this was the comment that was left on my screen when I came back to a 14-7 lead.

On Barry Alvarez day it's worth noting that 14-7 would have been a final during his era.

[owbc]

Sometimes in baseball a hot streak is so much in your favor that you can only laugh at the results. I know it goes both ways, but this is far from the first time that smirking Craig Counsell is the conductor behind this absurdity.

[DHonks]

Like that we spotted them a touchdown lead, I put an in-game bet in for Brewers $100 to win $800, then brewers put up 14 unanswered

Ironically Rasmussen started today and gave up 2 runs in the first. Still think he will be very good for Rays, but we really needed the life that Adames has given the offense.

 

Don't discount Trevor Richards in that deal, either. He's looked every bit as good as Feiereisen looked pre trade. Rasmussen has a nice upside and ceiling for sure, but Richards has been great, and Adames is a revelation.

[folly412]

Richards has been better than I expected since coming over. While he has less future upside, he's also better than Rasmussen was for us.

Beautiful. I hope a lot of those fans never return. Bu-bye

I use the website mlb66 to pull up live feeds when I’m not at home. You can get the home or away broadcast for every game. I LOVE clicking over to the away feed on days like today.

[AdvantageSchneider]

Gotta say I don't think Ross is exactly a tactical genius. It's a 7-6 ballgame in the 4th inning and he plays his infield in with runners on second and 3rd with one out. Peterson sneaks one past the drawn in IF for 2 rbis. If Ross plays the IF back it's probably a rbi ground out and he gets out of the inning only down 1 after Yellich strikes out. Instead he's down 7 after 4. Did he really think this game was going to end 7-6 or 8-7? That's the only reason to play the IF in there. If you think you aren't going to score anymore and the other team isn't going to score either.

[pacopete4]

Hooooooooly crap has Adames been an absolute joy to have in this lineup. Probably our best acquisition since Yeli, and I'm not sure 2nd is close unless I'm forgetting someone....

 

Urias seems to be trending well.

[WiscBrewFan]

Love it!!!! This has gotta kill the Cubs fans.

 

Awesome to see no quit in this team!!

[Patrick425]

So many odd things about this game. Haines getting so angry and tossed is still puzzling. That frustration would have been understandable at so many points this year with the Brewer's offensive struggles. But with some of the recent offensive outbursts, you would think he would be in a much happier place. Maybe he had an argument with his wife or something this morning.

[xisxisxis]

I think we ripped their heart out so far,

 

Let's aim about 20 inches lower and go for the testicles next...

Welcome to the board!!

 

One of my favorite things about the Brewers under Counsell is that they definitely seem to give up way later than the majority of the internet commentariat do.

Maybe his wife told him she'd be wearing that special thing when he got home and he just couldn't wait anymore.

Might've been just to save Yelich. Yelich was exchanging words with the ump on his walk back to the dugout so Haines might've stepped in to take the fall before the player did
