    Grand Slam Maikel Franco! Has 2 homers, a triple and 8 RBI in his last 5 at-bats.

      Really just paint-by-numbers for this offense so far. That wasn't even the most egregious example in this game. They left men on 2nd and 3rd with no outs earlier. I think La Stella should've been able to score from 1st on Caratini's double--TLS seemed to get an ultra slow jump on that play.

      Letting this one go to the 9th at 1-1 possibly is just asking to lose another winnable game in walkoff fashion.

        You spoke too soon with the score prediction. Good by Strop to get out of it with only 1 allowed.

          Yeah, a rare misplay by Heyward opened the door just enough for the Brewers to go up 2-1.

            Rizzo's back must be really jacked up. If there's ever a spot for him to pinch hit, this would be it.

              Yea they said earlier in the game that he's not even an option. It's either real bad or they are just being safe this early in the year.

                I wouldn't be surprised for the Cubs to not score here with bases loaded and 1 out.

                EDIT: My positive thoughts appear to be helping. LOL

                  Brewers have to have one of the worst defenses in the NL this year. Every game I've watched they have made multiple errors either mentally or physically.

                    Infield grounder scored the tying run...they damn sure tried to prove you right.

                      Ok, that was better. Happ!

                      The loss of Knebel immediately hurts the Crew.

                        Off Zobrist's bat, I thought that was a for sure game-ending GIDP. Happened to be just slow enough of a chopper to confuse Thames.

                        And to think Lester didn't have a hit when he joined the Cubs, but now he's being used in a pinch.

                          Well, he's no Ohtani, but even Tom Emanski would be proud of that bunt.

                            I don't know if you could put the blame on the pitcher completely. Shaw makes the play, they win.

                              Should see Cubs' delicate flower Brandon Morrow next. Somehow this is game #8 of the year and he's thrown 2 pitches total.
