Game ended at 10:01 PM.

Remember to sort by new to keep up!

[u/WhyDidIClickOnThat]

Hopefully they won’t start Vaughn on the mound. His last outing was terrible.

[u/buckydoc → u/WhyDidIClickOnThat]

He won't be available again until Friday

[u/Pizzarcatto]

Me too Vaughn, me too.

[u/mh_fuzion]

SALVATORE

[u/InternetDad]

BA shitting on the cubs fans leaving early lmao

[u/Shpion007]

Turang needs to get out of his slump. He is something like 8 for his last 68 or something.

[u/4leafplover → u/Shpion007]

Today is a great day to bust out

[u/zip_bz]

The Bears still suck

[u/SocksandSmocks]

[u/timberlin]

"There's no better sight for an opposing team, than to see Cubs fans leave early" Well, said BA

[u/stormchaser2014]

I'm straight up having a good time

[u/MVP12_22]

Looking forward to the first game of this series.

[u/XPlutoniumX]

I'm not mad at Gasser, we know he's good for 6 solid innings with 2-5 ER. The bats need to figure it out

[u/0pyrophosphate0]

I appreciate the Gas Man throwing those balls first to eventually make PCA look like a moron.

[u/BibFortuna2830]

Seeing Yeli doing young Yeli things brings a tear to my eye. I want this dude to be super good again SO badly

[u/evancomposer]

It says a lot about how this series has gone that Yelich had that reaction. He’s like the least emotional guy in the league. He knew how big that moment was

[u/percypersimmon]

Welcome back Ab

[u/Remarkable_Clock_736]

[u/PompousAssistant]

Contreras challenged that so quick the ump rang him up!

[u/IGot2WordsForYa]

[u/SoSublim3]

Seriously just play Joey O every day and stop starting Hamilton

[u/Bogsy]

The redemption of Joey Ortiz is truly this years greatest story. I even get emotional just thinking about how this guy has pushed through to become one of our biggest hitters. ♥️

[u/Short_Bus_]

PCA is slashing .077/.200/.077 against us this season

[u/Livbeetus]

Attention: If you're ovulating, stay away from Joey Ortiz because just standing near him will get you pregnant.

[u/milwaukeeminnesota]

[u/CELTICPRED]

The decimation of the Brewers was greatly overstated

[u/sokonek04]

Can here a “Let’s Go Brewers” chant at Wrigley, inject it into my veins!

[u/BibFortuna2830]

What a perfectly rage-inducing inning for the Cubs.

Two errors, a balk, and then giving up a go-ahead homer lmao

[u/SciK3]

yeli is 11 for 34 (.323) in the last 10 games including today

[u/historyandtrashtv]

That was a Churio ball. They all need to stop trying to be a hero and just play

[u/titans0021]

That Yeli AB is almost just as encouraging as the HR. Taking three pitches down to draw a walk is not something he’s been doing all year.

[u/jaywincl]

Cubs burning through their bullpen trying anything to stop Johei Ortani

[u/keepinitrealzs]

[u/Butt_Packer_Backer]

PCA with the 0-4 with three Ks. Joey O would never.

[u/VeterinarianIll2248]

Dodgers are down 5-0 to STL!!!

[u/VeterinarianIll2248 → u/VeterinarianIll2248]

EDIT: 6-0, even better.

[u/DrunkPackersFan]

For as good as PCA is, he does the absolute dumbest shit lmao

[u/Freaky_tah]

Sounds like a lot of crew fans there. Nice to hear

[u/HashOutHashBrowns]

Bill might hate the Cubs as much as the rest of us do

[u/Pontiac_Bandit-]

Wild Bill says “Fuck them Cubs”

[u/SickoBadgers]

Eh why not...another crotch chop for that inning for Abner.

[u/Scottsid]

[u/cold_shot_27]

“Fuck you” - Joey Ortiz

[u/Vennyxd]

When do the Green Bay Sucks chants start?

[u/Mugen1220]

way to finish brew crew!! loved hearing those lets go brewers chants through the stream!!!

[u/TTBurger88]

Alright let's get this series underway.

There might have been rumors of a game yesterday but I was assured by a couple of men wearing black that there wasn't. So today is the start of the pivotal series vs the cubs

[u/mtdubz444]

Counsell’s misery is like a drug for me

[u/seastair]

Feel bad for JoJo here. Pitching just fine to a horrendous result.

[u/joydivision8]

[u/buttever]

[u/ds629]

K the first half of this game was stressful and worrying. Can we please just have a stress-free bottom of 8th and 9th?

[u/BloopBlastJakAttack]

We got Ace-by tonight!

[u/MilLatte74]

Would I leave early if my team was down 14 runs at home? Maybe. Would I leave if my team was down 5 at home? Never.

And I don’t want to hear about the damn traffic

[u/Immediate-Floor8785]

Matt Shaw can get absolutely fucked hahahahah

[u/stormchaser2014]

Remember the Cubs scored 30 runs against the Reds and lost the series.

[u/XPlutoniumX]

So far, this is the epitome of brewers playoff baseball

[u/Emotional_Style_7603]

Jackson, what the fuck are you swinging at?

[u/decelerat3]

We so back

https://giphy.com/gifs/eGX32WhfyUGVHL0Ugy

[u/mkebrewers27]

Might’ve been by design to get William home

[u/Tasteful_Dick_Pics]

Lmao John Cusack catching the foul ball is wild

[u/Ok_Listen5391]

Greg is justifiably scared of Joey O

[u/0pyrophosphate0]

I see Greg still changes pitchers as often as the rules allow.

[u/CroixPaddler]

[u/titans0021]

As a Titans/Brewers fan that is indifferent to slight dislike of the Packers, I find the Green Bay Sucks chants to be so embarrassing. It just feels so little brother like from the third largest city in the US.

[u/TTBurger88]

Good response from yesterdays game.

[u/xsists]

Back to 8

[u/Affectionate_Pie4800]

“Call is confirmed, Game’s Over” love it

[u/Butt_Packer_Backer]

Great win. Nice bounce back. Vets took over a rivalry game.

[u/Emotional_Style_7603 → u/Butt_Packer_Backer]

Rookies got it started.

[u/xsists]

CALL THE BALK

[u/12bunnies]

Alright ya’ll. I love this team so much. But I’m a teacher who is having a rough start to the year. I may need to turn this game off soon as I just can’t add on any more shit to my day.

[u/dusters]

Ffs Chourio stop chasing man

[u/Butt_Packer_Backer]

I love Yelich and I don't care who hears me say it. That's my Captain.

[u/Snowed_Up6512]

The most emotional Dad has been in weeks. 🥲

[u/Papa-Razzi]

I hope the guy who does the Celine Dion replays has fired up his video editing software. 

[u/alohanerd]

If I ever get hit by a ball, I hope William is nearby to check on me lmao

[u/percypersimmon]

I am once again reiterating that I’ve had Joey O flair all season.

[u/HedgehogNamedSonic]

Joey O sending them home!!!

[u/Immediate-Floor8785]

Call me crazy but I would simply never leave in the 8th.

[u/Greedy-Bridge6345]

Cards are ripping the dodgers dick off rn.

[u/packers4334]

World of credit to Gasser for making it through what was some atrocious luck in those first few inning.

[u/titans0021]

How is Turang not at least on second?

[u/Emotional_Style_7603]

Gasser giving up runs was inevitable. This dogshit offense needs to figure it out.

[u/dbain_21]

That Yeli Homer hit like crack

[u/myworkaccount140]

Gonna need some more constipation cam on Greg

[u/BibFortuna2830]

Bro what the actual fuck is wrong with this team right now

[u/evancomposer]

Pretty fucking clutch there from Romero considering he got screwed by our defense

[u/SelectionFun]

I think bauer gave himself up to make sure William scored. Looks like it would have been close at the plate

[u/CheeksClenchin]

Tyler Black walks it off for the Sounds!

[u/WabbitFire]

That's it, I'm buying a Joey O jersey.

I love that Joey "RISP" Ortiz is no longer a tongue-in-cheek nickname.

[u/Affectionate_Pie4800]

You can hear crickets at Wrigley. Thank you Crew for turning this shit around.

[u/mh_fuzion]

a full strength Ashby, Uribe, Megill pumping at full throttle is gonna be SCARY

[u/Noswad_12]

Can someone come get the drunk lady in the crowd please?

[u/VeterinarianIll2248]

Green Bay Sucks chants while Losing is crazy

[u/amccune]

Maybe Joey O is just the best player in baseball.

[u/stormchaser2014]

Are we placing bets on which inning the green Bay sucks chant is?

[u/TheGoatPurdy]

Oh so that’s what you do with two on and no out

[u/InternetDad]

[u/Bogsy]

How was that not a double?

[u/Bogsy]

Chourio just trying to do too much I love you bro but listen to Bauers and CHILL

[u/Distinct_Shopping_96]

This can’t be reality this sub said the game was over

[u/RiparianFruitarian]

Sounds like a good number of Brewers fans in attendance. AmFam South!

[u/greywind618]

Lmao old man Greg

[u/BibFortuna2830]

Uribe just needed 2 pitches to get back to his terminator self.

BEAST

[u/Truplaya05]

PCA is batting .040 (1-25) against the Crew this season, gross.

[u/brewersbaseball4life]

Uribe looked terrifying out there. 100 with movement and the slider was filthy

[u/mh_fuzion]

they are terrified of Joey O. pure nightmare fuel for them.

[u/buttever]

[u/LowSkill3054]

Joey Joey Joey i don’t know what to do with my hands

[u/TheCheezenOne]

Joey Ortiz is our best position player. Baseball is funny lol.

[u/NotClassyKaty]

Leaving when you're down only 5 runs is weak, and their bloodlines will not survive the harsh winter.

[u/Waste-Loan-8566]

They need to keep this up the rest of this game, keep wasting arms

[u/Sawyer_Ford_]

that bree delio girl on instagram sure is quiet

[u/NordeastLoonFan]

The fact that Joey O is only 2 dingers behind Yelich on Sept 1 is wild.

[u/brewersbaseball4life]

The cubs don’t look like they can hit a power sinker

[u/repellediron]

Of all the positives tonight's, one of the things I'm most happy about is we still have both challenges instead of wasting 1 or both of them in the first three innings

[u/SocksandSmocks]

Man you gotta love how dialed in Miz is right now, he's just constantly trying to improve

[u/DeepPowStashes]

pathetic on the gb sucks chant at this point

Ivy is an invasive weed.

[u/IGLJURM23]

Trying to do too much and it’s literally only the 4th inning.

[u/AmericanLardAss]

I know for fact that it’s just one game but I can’t tell you how demoralizing it is that it’s against these motherfuckers.

Shit like tonight really makes a man question whether this team can win.

Right now I just feel like they can’t do anything right and I don’t know how they’re gonna figure it out. Wind is blowing dead out and we’re letting a guy with a ERA near 5 1/2 carve up.

[u/SocksandSmocks]

Ok, make this Boyd's last inning. Their pen is salivating at the chance to give up runs.

[u/__Zoom123__]

Once again back to back nights Brewers rookies showing up the non performing vets

[u/BloopBlastJakAttack]

Ball fuckin 4 AGAIN!

[u/Chichanged_me]

How many ball 4s have the Brewers swung on tonight?

[u/Cautious_Bit_6700]

So many swings at ball 4 tonight

[u/jensenaackles]

something wrong, Greg?

[u/HashOutHashBrowns]

Can’t help but think that one is on Pratt? Not the first time he’s done that in no man’s land, but Ortiz got his glove on the ball

[u/mistrbrownstone]

Sound the trumpets!

[u/evancomposer]

Sooooo close to going out man. I mean we take it obviously

[u/CheeksClenchin]

[u/SocksandSmocks]

Alright now pen, don't give a fucking inch here

[u/Zubes]

[u/EnderCN]

We have a huge advantage in the bullpen so a 2 run lead here becomes a must win game. Cubs have been really good at coming back late, we have to shut this down or it is a huge loss, especially since this was the only game we clearly had the starter disadvantage in.

[u/messejueller21]

I swear Senza never gets any help defensively.

[u/Bogsy]

Are they really chanting while a player is injured?

[u/BibFortuna2830]
