I would just move Yelich to left and DH Hoskins. Not ideal, but not terrible.

Hoskins is not on the roster

No Chourio for the postseason puts a ceiling on this team unreal. This team has to be cursed can’t just enjoy a postseason ass kicking of the Cubs.

If Chourio is out we can add someone to the roster.

That does rule Chourio out of the NLCS as well. Players who are replaced on the playoff roster due to injury are ineligible for the following series (in the same postseason of course). If it's minor, this could be a dilemma, but I'm guessing it would keep him out for a few weeks anyway.

Hoskins is a decent fit against all their LHP starters, so there's some silver lining. Imanaga will start games 2 and 5, and Boyd will start game 4, if the series goes that far.

Forgot about that. Likely Hoskins

I'd like to hear from the dipsh*t pundits who kept implying that the Brewers would struggle to score because they don't hit enough HRs. Runs are runs, you dolts. Such junk analysis. Show me another top-3 offense in all of baseball this century that wasn't even top-20 in HRs and then you have something to compare this team to. Otherwise shut up.

Brewers won 14 straight after Chourio got hurt before. Only takes 10 more to win the title.

Come on Freddy, no need to walk anybody. Challenge hitters and let the defense do their job.

Do you get some relievers a little work here in a low-stakes game just to tune them up after the layoff, even with Freddy locking them down? Probably worth considering, but it's a tough call.

Still hopeful Chourio is back this series. Didn't look impressive. If it's minor, he might also DH.

I'm riding with Collins in LF though if he's not back. Seems like a big game player and he fits the Brewers game. Runs well, good bat to ball, good eye

Cubs fans getting sassy. Careful out there.

Last couple batters made the decision easy

Just pull Freddy. Keep him fresh for game 4. What's the point of pushing 100 pitches here?

ETA: I was a little late on the fastball here, lol.

Randomly kind of lost it there. Good call to pull him.

Not being able to finish 6 innings is so lame from Freddy

Why burn him up when you are up 9-1?

*9-2

Even with a 9-1 lead up until now, watching Civale lock them down is a little gross.

I definitely don't follow the Brewers close enough to know about various memes.
