Bottom line is Wily needs to make that play.

Just a bit outside, he tried for Lake Michigan and missed.

Hey, that's my line.

[BruisedCrew]

Walk, error, two wild pitches. 
 

The Cubs don’t have to do anything to score in this series. 
 

Two for 2 bad outings from Cousins. 
 

Can’t wait to see Williams, who couldn’t find the plate in spring training either. 

[Brock Beauchamp]

Hey, that's better. I like homers.

[MoreTrife]

Nice. Glad Norris didn't lock Brewers down.

[magnoliacrew]

Brosseau, this is how the platoon is supposed to work. LET'S GO!!!!

That’s one line, but the pitchers have to get the ball over the plate too. 
 

20 walks, 3 HBP, and 3 WP in this series. And a lot of those free base runners have scored. 

[titletownking]

Old reliable Daniel Norris finally helps the crew. 

[Patrick425]

Rock last half inning,  "Norris has to face 2 batters". Nope not true Rock and  "You would think it would be Boxberger or Williams in the 8th". Huh? Rock, it's the top of the 7th.

[magnoliacrew]

Ideal, Box, Devin, Hader close scenario... Let's see what happens.

[treego14]

Nobody covering 2nd base on steal attempt by Cubs?  

What is going on with this team's fundamentals?

[trwi7]

I think he was out anyways but there's not enough evidence.

[Brock Beauchamp]

Adames may have made up for that booted ball with that play...

[MoreTrife]

Should stand due to no conclusive proof

[HarryDoyle]

Closer than I thought at first but still the right call.

[magnoliacrew]

From the view I had on the radio, he was clearly out.

[Eye Black]

Adames reaction to the replay announcement was great. What took them so long to figure out the umps should be announcing the calls, anyway. 

[bensheeps]

How about some insurance runs now

Manfred just discovered this technology a few months ago.

This is honestly, probably accurate.

Team needs a  good super utility bat in a pretty bad way. I know Urias will be starting at 3rd, Wong at second and Willy at SS but no depth behind them. 

Expand  

How’s about better starters at the 1B, 3B, LF, CF and RF positions.

The replay ump must have forgotten one of the basic rules of replay.

The general rule is that if there is no conclusive proof, the call on the field stands. 
 

But there is an exception that says that if the Cubs are involved, and there is no conclusive proof, the call goes to the Cubs regardless of the call on the field. 

[BruisedCrew]

I’m not going to be able to watch Williams.

If his lack of command from ST carries over this is going to be an excruciating inning. 

[Eye Black]

First regular season outing for Devin since...umm... well let's just say it's been awhile.
