7 is his ERA so they did what he typically gives up. Cubs have a couple with higher era's but they are not starters.

He gave up those 7 runs in less than 4 innings of work so that works out to an ERA over 15. The brewers significantly drove up his ERA that day. Even the game the brewers lost, they got help from the blue when he decided to expand the zone in the ninth. He must have felt bad for the cubs too.

Watching that three game series, I can see why folks quit watching the cubs. It’s like a little league team out there and their bullpen didn’t even explode. lol

You had Bellinger running first to third with one out on a lazy fly ball and you had Happ doing circles on the warning track on a routine fly ball. They have a 200 M dollar payroll and are getting minimum wage production out of the roster.

8 scoreless innings for them vs. Hendricks and the Cubs relievers. How pitiful is that? lol

Better than losing in my book.

Bryce

Nobody looks engaged and half the team looks like they don’t want to be out there. Not something you see too often in professional sports.

Brewers are cooling off. They got their first hit with the bases loaded that wasn’t a grand slam last night. Ended up losing in extra innings to the lowly Rockies.

You jinxed em' Bryce.

Who do you Cub fans root for in Pro Football? Hard to believe July is here, Pro camps open later this month.

Chicago fans wouldn't root for da bears?

Chiefs for me NL, but I suspect you knew that.

I'm no fan of Chicago, just the Cubs.

It's one game. Season is long. 7 runs should do it but the las two releavers were not effective. Rockies have a high team batting average but pitching is the bottom of the MLB. If we can keep winning series we will be OK.
One of the pre-season polls had the Brewers ranked 4th with Cards, Chicago and the Reds above them. So far the Brewers are playing above expectations or the other 3 teams are playing far below expectations. Cards are starting to a play better, even with their two big bats not having good seasons. Cubs salary is almost twice the Brewers so wins are more than trwice as costly for the Cubs then the Brewers. I don't put a lot of that blame on the new manager either. If you are a veteran and you need someone to motivate you to play more intensevely then that is on the player in my opinion. I guess if you can make 10-15 million a year and win 70 games the life is pretty good.

Trade rumors with cards bringing in louis Robert's jr from white soxs I'm not sure why his stats aren't that great. We need to get rid of a 2nd baseman and find a new one of them. Gorman is horrible! Has one good game and ever one goes on how good he is, but good night probably leading the league in strike outs, 1 homerun to 10 strike outs isn't very good. Oli says he is having problems figuring out pitches, if you don't know off speed by this time in your career your never going to learn. Batting under .200 and the other day he had him batting clean-up, why???thats how stupid our manager is.

The Cubs comeback bid fell a little short. Turner finally showed some power.

Gorman hit a homerun yesterday lord look out he is the best that's ever been again.

Maybe not the most in mlb but give him a game or two he will be...

No surprise there. I'll be surprised though if the Cubs take even one game of this series even with your temporarily crippled team of Phillies.

Today's pitching match up should make for a good game. The Cubs are smart to start a left hander, that puts 2 batters in the Phillies lineup that are hitting below 200.

You underestimate the suckyness of the Cubs. lol

I remember a lot of seasons where the Phillies sucked. I am just happy that at my old age the Phillies are having a great season thus far. David Dombrowski has put a good team together, and they have an owner that is willing to spend money to acquire good players. Although I question lots of moves the manager makes, the players like him, and they play hard for him. I haven't followed the Cubs very closely, but I think they have some good players and they have an owner willing to spend some money, they just don't seem to be playing together as a team. I played a lot of softball when I became too old to play baseball at a completive level. Our manager would pick up what I called ringers for when we played in tournaments. We never did very well and I always thought th problem was him bringing in these players for tournaments caused dissention among the regular players. The last year I played he did not bring in stud players, but he stuck with the team he had and we won the State Championship. I think it happens all the time in major league baseball where teams pick up the high cost players but they do not play together very well. That might be the Cubs problem, and the manager needs to fix that. I suspect the players do not respect the current manager.

The Cubs ripped the Phillies today, maybe it is a wake up call and they will go on a roll.
