Opening Series Thread: Brewers @ Cubs

Well I definitely still hate the Cubs. These guys are getting mad because Burnes is pitching inside. Shut the **** up, you don’t run the league.

What happened? I missed it, and came back to the TV with everyone talking about what happened without saying what happened.

If there is a bench clearing brawl does everyone have to get their masks on first or?

Counsell said with no fans teams can hear each other. Obviously someone said something inflammatory lol

I really like this team, actually. Obviously only game two but it appears Stearns did a nice job.

Cain looks really good. Maybe he's just healthier but he's more fluid and less labored in all his movements, including his swing. I wouldn't be surprised if he lost some weight too.

The crowd noise and the virtual crowd are not doing it for me.

I feel lucky to have Stearns and Counsell based on the economies of baseball.

Virtual crowd is weird. I prefer the cutouts to be honest. I don't mind the crowd noise, though. ESPN's broadcast without any was just way too somber.

Ready for robots calling balls & strikes.

I missed the first half of the game. How did Burnes look?

Yup, virtual crowd does nothing for me. Makes it hard to see where a HR ball lands. Cutouts are fine. I don't mind a little fake crowd noise in the background either just to make it seem somewhat normal, that's fine as long as they don't go overboard.

Why do we play the Cubs 7 times on the road and only 3 times at home?

I think in yesterdays game they said he lost around 20 pounds or more.

That win was inversely satisfying to the previous days loss.

Not sure what is going on with the Burnes fastball that just keeps failing right. If he can’t fix that he won’t be a starter very long. But other than that he has some great stuff.
