I’d like to talk about the Cubs’ 3-2 win last night, something that feels a lot more like a rarity than their 5-6 record indicates. Instead, I’m going to talk about the Brewers’ pitching strategy and the collective need of their players, fans, reporters, and announcers to flip the script and blame the Cubs for what is happening between the two teams.
To wit:
- In the 4th inning, Brandon Woodruff hit Willson Contreras on the left hand with a sinker. It marked the third time in five games this season a Milwaukee pitcher has hit Contreras and seventh time in his last 14 games against the Brewers.
