I would put more of the blame on our middle relief. Giving up 6 runs after a stellar performance from our starter is the killer again. We got to their middle relief to get some runs and got guys on base, but their shutdown guy Suarez is one of the best in the business.

We got Imanaga going tonight. Hope we don’t need to wait until the late innings to play catchup 

Go Cubs!

You can't not score at least one with bases loaded no outs.  End of that game was tough.  Close and options-then bad.
Hope today is a new day.

Welcome back Mr. Steele. Looks like you pitched as if you did not miss a beat, GREAT!! Now if the cubs can score some runs and spoil Darvishs game tonight. Darvish looks very good also. GO CUBS!!

Yeah! Haven't seen where anyone has berated the Cubs or their fans! Enjoying the rivalry and banter that goes with it!
Brewers are underdogs this year! Happy with their performance this year so far! Expectations low!

Can only hope that with a new team maybe new and better results. I’m hoping we get our money’s worth

Ok Z I'll lighten up some.  But I've watched CC manage the Brewers for years.  He's OK in the regular season, and he manages the pitchers well.  But the post season game is a completely different animal and he has consistently underperformed when it matters most.

Give CC a chance Gillespie. He’s done a pretty good job with this team considering what they’ve been through with the injuries. I don’t necessarily agree with everything he’s done, but you have to trust the system and the results.

I'd be embarrassed to talk dumb about something I don't know much about.

BBD, please take CC back.  Never wanted him to skipper the Cubs in the first place.  He's OK but I'm not a fan of his analytics.

Your past history of making comments without knowing the actual facts is well documented on this thread (and others). If you’re insulted by the truth, then so be it. 
I have nothing to be embarrassed about. I didn’t go onto the Brewers thread and berate the team or the fans. That is something that seems exclusive to some of the Brewer fans.

As usual,  insults!  
Just because a player may have a previous year in the majors does not make them a veteran nor negate the fact that they are young and generally inexperienced! As you said after the first game, I'd be embarrassed if my team's fan base reacted like that after a win!

I suggest you look into the previous starts of all 3 of the pitchers they faced over the weekend. As usual, you make comments about something that you don’t know anything about.
Inconsistency is nothing new for young players who find themselves as regulars in the lineup. Chourio, Black and Dunn are the only 3 that haven’t played in the big leagues until this season. The rest of the team has played enough that rookie inconsistency doesn’t apply.

Its over ,done deal,Cubs took our Young Brewers 2 out of 3 in a tightly contested series on there turf, they have more veteran players, they have our old coach, higher payroll, bigger and better fan base, better stadium .Put up the flag for National League Central champs Today. Won't be able to watch as the Brewers sink to the depths of the division!

True! "The youth of the Brewers lineup MUST be taken into  consideration "
These pitchers haven't been that impressive previously. Let's see how they do against veteran teams before we anoint them All Stars!
Just saying! One outing? It's a long season as you've said!
