MILWAUKEE — You know what made me angry about this game?
It wasn’t the home runs by Christian Yelich and former Cub Victor Caratini. It wasn’t the 16 strikeouts by Cubs batters.
No, it was the seven walks issued by Cubs pitchers. Two of those walks wound up scoring, and that, my friends, was the difference in the game, a frustrating 6-5 loss.
Three Cubs relievers combined to throw 74 pitches in three innings! That’s ridiculous! That’s the equivalent of throwing 222 pitches in a nine-inning game — the MLB average is almost 100 fewer than that.
