Brewers fans have known for a long time that this is not 2018 anymore. Things changed drastically from year-to-year with this team. One of the things that changed was the Brewers inability to win at Wrigley Field. Last year, Milwaukee won a dramatic Game 163 against Chicago along with other wins at Wrigley. This hasn’t been the case for the Brewers this season. Currently, they’ve lost four straight against Chicago as the Brewers continue to dig their hole into death from the playoffs. Cubs won on Friday, 7-1.

Player of the Game: Nick Castellanos – Okay, hear me out. I don’t hate bat flips. I love the fact that people have more fun playing baseball. But as a Brewers fan, I have the right to hate his fucking guts, right? He just feels like a try-hard. Part of it has to do with my annoyance that Chicago got another player like this on their roster. It seems like that happens every year. Not that the Brewers needed an outfielder, but it would be nice for Milwaukee to bring in a guy that can start the fire and bring some more energy on a daily basis.

The Thing I didn’t Like: Schwarber’s slide on Hiura – Yeah, that was a dirty play. Kyle Schwarber came up high on Keston Hiura which likely led to his injured list stint. He came into his shin and likely disrupted his shin. Zach Davies is the last pitcher that I think could actually retaliate. When Bleacher Nation, who are usually assholes about the Brewers, are saying it’s not great. Then you know it’s bad.

I don't love the Schwarber slide, and I suspect the Brewers are going to be mighty pissed. He got to the ground a little late, and spread himself out a little more than necessary. Dirty? No. Less than ideal for safety? Yeah. pic.twitter.com/kEJkpN6VEP

Next up: Milwaukee gets set for a second game. Good news is the game will happen during all of the college football season, so, no one will actually be paying attention. Cole Hamels goes up against Davies. Brewers lineup is fucking brutal so it might be a no-hitter for Hamels. I don’t know. I’m ready to call it a season, guys.
