A Disappointing Day at the Diamond
Hey, Cubs fans!
Despite our high hopes, today's game against the Milwaukee Brewers was truly a rough one. The final score was 1-7, and let's just say, it wasn't exactly our best showing. Here's a recap of the action—or lack thereof—from the perspective of a true Cubs fan.A Promising Start
We started off strong with Nico Hoerner smashing a homer to left center in the top of the 1st inning, giving us an early lead.
That was the kind of start that gets you pumped! Michael Busch flied out to center, but Cody Bellinger followed up with a single. However, Seiya Suzuki and Christopher Morel couldn’t keep the momentum going, both striking out swinging.Brewers’ Onslaught in the 4th
The Brewers were pretty quiet until the 4th inning when things really fell apart for us. William Contreras got on base with an infield single, and Christian Yelich blasted a 422-foot homer to center, putting the Brewers ahead 2-1. The hits kept coming with Brice Turang nailing a 381-foot homer to right center, bringing in four runs and stretching their lead to 7-1. Ouch.
Our Struggling Offense
Our bats went cold after that. Hoerner had a promising homer in the 1st, but our lineup couldn’t capitalize on it. The likes of Dansby Swanson, Pete Crow-Armstrong, and Miguel Amaya all struggled, failing to get on base in crucial moments. Each time we tried to mount a comeback, another strikeout or groundout seemed to put a stop to our momentum.Final Inning Letdown
We really hoped for some miraculous rally in the 9th, but it just wasn’t our day. Bellinger struck out looking, Suzuki popped out to second, and pinch-hitter Miles Mastrobuoni flied out to center to end the game. The Brewers took the win with a final score of 7-1.Gotta Keep the Faith
It’s tough to take a loss like this, especially against a division rival like the Brewers. But hey, we've had our good days and we know we can bounce back. Let’s keep cheering for our Cubs and hope for a better outcome in the next game.
Remember, you can't win 'em all, but you can keep supporting your team through thick and thin. Go Cubs!
