This is precisely the moment where you say to the Cubs, “ OK. You don’t need to get them all at once. Just get this guy in from 2nd.”

Then you realize the batter is Contreras.

Well this will probably upset someone but Contreras is overrated.

Damn hard to win when you can't score...pretty much the same players. All having off years but Baez and Zobrist? Doubtful. I was never a huge fan of Mallee but they were never like this under his watch, some yes but not for extended periods like this year. Do you blame Davis for this mess? Just how much difference does a hitting coach make? I never thought that much but after this season, I just might be changing my mind on that. Right now, they are a 3 run homer team that doesn't hit many homers. That is not good.

So what happens if we are tied with Milw at end of season? One game playoff? Their place or ours?

Looking like a WC spot for the Cubs

Most of the hitters never quite figured it out..

Bullpen has worn out..

Maddon had no rally speech for his boys

Brewers want it more right now

I don't know why anyone would panic. MIL still needs to go either 4-1 or 5-0 to even have a shot. They drop 2 games in their remaining 5 and they are done.
Brewers are far from done...

This is going to go down to the final 3 games and the Brewers have the advantage in opponent

Hey Cubs if you score one run five times it’s just like getting that five run homer you’re trying for.
