Just relax. It's 2-1, and the Brewers are equally frustrated that they don't have more runs.

Feeling strangely good about this inning. Here’s hoping.

Pete was so close!

I’m afraid Wrigley carried this team last two games

 

[FerShizzle]

it really sucks that the cubs send so many guys to the plate that are just automatic outs in high leverage situations.

Well, so much for that. Maybe the calm feeling is resignation…not confidence.

Terrible swings by Kelly and Swanson.

 

[cycloneman003]

Others have had bad slumps too, but Swanson’s approach at the plate in the postseason has been the worst on the roster IMO. He’s lost up there at the moment.

Thankfully we’ve got our best coming up here for one last shot at getting some offense going

This series is over, we are pressing now because nothing is working and just flailing away. I don't know what happened to the high OBP team from thr regular season who worked counts and took walks.

That hasn't been around since July...

Man, Swanson is struggling at the plate right now. Not sure what the issue is there

 

[CycloneErik]

PCA, that was slick.

This is the correct answer.

Him and Tucker are both WS champions and have extensive post-season experience and have been two of our worst hitters since the playoffs started.

Seems to be impacting his defense now too.

 

[chuckd4735]

Yuck

 

[CycloneSpinning]

That might do it…

He is either very hot or very cold. He is in the middle of a cold streak.

We'll see. I doubt a bullpen game is going to end 3-1 with 4 solo HRs. One of these guys (from either team) has to have a bad showing.

 

[Pharmacy99]

The trade deadline acquisitions are really paying dividends

 

[ScottyP]

That should wrap things up. What a rough day.
