I'm both happy that it isn't the Padres and worried that it's the Cubs.
I anticipated a hard road for the Cubs after burning so much energy the past 3 games, but the MLB scheduling geniuses have helped the cause by including off days between the first 3 games, which will allow better planning for pitchers. No planning though for guys who ain't hitting. They'd better wake 'em up fast for Freddy.

Andrew Vaughn seems like a much better hitter than where he was sitting in the Chicago minors. The Brewers weren’t going after him in the Civale trade either. The White Sox threw him away. The trade was about the Milwaukee culture and trying to treat Civale well. It’s half a season of MLB and he’s a hitter with a plus glove at 1st base that looks like an upgrade for about 10 clubs.
Shout out on the broadcast for Milwaukee official scorer Tim O’Driscoll today. Tim’s a great guy.
Minors is right.
Vaughn cooled down. Can't call him Jimmie Foxx anymore. More like Jim Rice now.

Back to Jimmie Foxx?
9 Runs with 0 HRs in Game 1
7 Runs on 3 HRs in Game 2
Best stat of the night however is that all the Brewers Runs so far have come after 2 outs with bases empty.
Desperate times call for desperate measures. But geez. What a juggernaut. Tip o' the cap.
