<p><b>THE THREE GOATS:</b></p>
<ul>
<li><span><b>Big Goat - </b><span>Travis Wood</span>. There were horses, and a man on fire, and I killed a guy with a trident.</span></li>
<li><span><b>Goat - </b><span>Justin Ruggiano</span>. Three opportunities with runners on in the first five innings, and nothing to show for it.</span></li>
<li><span><b>Kid</b> - <span>Welington Castillo</span>. Also had several chances with runners in scoring position and also came up empty.</span></li>
</ul>
<p><b>THE THREE HEROES:</b></p>
<ul>
<li> <b>Superhero - </b><span>Luis Valbuena</span>. All courtesy of his ground-rule double in the third.</li>
<li> <b>Hero - </b><span>Mike Olt</span>. See, it pays to bat eighth.</li>
<li> <b>Sidekick</b> - Uh... Travis Wood. Oh, I get it. His bad outing was all part of his master plan to make his base hit stick. Well played, sir. <i>Well played.</i> </li>

Brewers 11, Cubs 5: Anthony Rizzo's Day Off
<figure>
<img alt="" src="https://cdn.vox-cdn.com/thumbor/xs7e-toECIIFDOku2KCNMwpoWDI=/0x0:4000x2667/1310x873/cdn.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_image/image/33733467/494777063.0.jpg" />
<figcaption>Mike McGinnis</figcaption>
</figure>
<p>... which was not nearly as much fun as Ferris Bueller's.</p> <p>Over his past six games, <span>Anthony Rizzo</span> had gone 4-for-22 with six strikeouts. So <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.bleedcubbieblue.com/">Cubs</a> manager Rick Renteria thought it would be a good time to give him a day off Friday -- that would give Rizzo two full days off, with the off day Thursday, perhaps a chance to clear his head and begin hitting well again, starting Saturday. (<span>Starlin Castro</span> is likely getting a similar day off Sunday.)</p>
<p>You could have forgiven Rizzo if he'd headed into the clubhouse at Miller Park after the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.brewcrewball.com/">Brewers</a> took a 6-0 lead in the second inning and watched the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.secondcityhockey.com/">Blackhawks</a> playoff game. I'll let you in on a little secret -- that's what I did. Not in the Cubs' clubhouse, of course, but I switched over to watch the Hawks tie up their series with the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.jewelsfromthecrown.com/">Kings</a> (nice work, and especially by <span>Patrick Kane</span>) and followed the Cubs via Gameday, switching back to the baseball game during hockey intermissions.</p>
<p>Turns out I didn't miss much, as <a href="http://chicago.cubs.mlb.com/news/boxscore.jsp?gid=2014_05_30_chnmlb_milmlb_1" target="_blank">the Brewers blew out the Cubs 11-5</a>. The Cubs did try to make it a game in the third, scoring a pair of runs, but <span>Travis Wood</span> had put them too deep in the hole. The 2⅔ inning, seven-run outing was the shortest (except for that ridiculous, one-inning-to-get-to-200, "we give up" start agains the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.vivaelbirdos.com/">Cardinals</a> last September) and worst of his Cubs career.</p>
<p>Not sure what's going on with Wood. After a decent April, his May was horrific (6.62 ERA, 1.41 WHIP, four home runs allowed in 34 innings). Perhaps the turn of the calendar to June will be kind to Wood; otherwise I'd have to think there might be something physically wrong with him.</p>
<p>The Brewers scored almost every way you can think of. Singles, doubles, a home run by <span>Ryan Braun</span>, even a perfectly-executed squeeze bunt by pitcher Marco Estrada. That one was off <span>Carlos Villanueva</span>, who ate up some innings in relief, but after allowing four runs in 2⅓ innings, saw his ERA jump from 7.33 (it had gone down in six straight appearances) to 7.98.</p>
<p><span>Jose Veras</span>, pitching in garbage time with the Cubs down 11-2, threw two scoreless innings, so there's that. Does this mean he will eventually have trade value? Do this about six more times in a row and then I'd say, "Maybe."</p>
<p>The Cubs certainly had enough chances to score runs Friday night; they had 10 hits in all and drew six walks. They left 10 runners on base and went 3-for-13 with RISP, although that latter figure was enhanced by a pair of RBI singles with two out in the ninth inning, when Brewers reliever <span>Tyler Thornburg</span> was laboring through a 29-pitch inning with an eight-run lead. Thornburg gave the Cubs a couple of consolation runs, which made the final score appear closer than the game really was. Earlier, <span>Nate Schierholtz</span> had hit his second home run of the season. Schierholtz is 10-for-37 (.270/.341/.486) over his last 10 games with that pair of homers -- perhaps he's coming out of his season-long slump.</p>
<p>That's about all the good I've got from this one. It was great to see the Hawks come from behind in the third period and win Game 6 -- now go close it out Sunday!</p>
<p>The Cubs, meanwhile, will play the second game of their far-less-meaningful series in Miller Park Saturday afternoon -- note that it's a day game, unusual for Milwaukee in the summer. Game time is 3:10 p.m. CT, with <span>Jason Hammel</span> facing <span>Wily Peralta</span>. The game preview will post at 1 p.m. CT.</p>

<p>The Cubs have not played well in Miller Park for the last three years. They will have another chance to reverse that, this weekend.</p> <p>Once again I commend you to <a href="http://www.bleedcubbieblue.com/2014/5/30/5763568/on-the-horizon-cubs-vs-brewers-series-preview">Russ La Croix' series preview</a> for more detailed information on the matchups.</p>
<p>What I will say here is that once again, the schedule-makers have done the Cubs no favors. After this series the Cubs will be exactly one-third of the way through the 2014 season -- 54 games. Exactly one-third of those are against just two teams -- the Brewers and <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.vivaelbirdos.com/">Cardinals</a>. They've gone 7-8 in the 15 games so far, which isn't bad, but still...</p>
<p>After Sunday the Cubs won't see the Brewers again until mid-August and won't return to Miller Park until the last three games of the season. Since 2010 the Cubs are 13-27 in Miller Park... indicating this series is likely to go 1-2, and the Cubs will finish the first third of the season at 20-34, on pace for 60-102.</p>
<p>Try to enjoy the game anyway.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.bleedcubbieblue.com/" class="sbn-auto-link">Cubs</a> lineup:</p>
<blockquote>
<pre>Bonifacio 2B, Lake CF, Valbuena 3B, Castro SS, Ruggiano LF, Castillo C, Schierholtz RF, Olt 1B, Wood P </pre>
</blockquote>
<p>It was hinted the other day that <span>Anthony Rizzo</span> might get a day off in this series, and here it is. Possible reason:</p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" lang="en">

<p>These two pitchers faced each other <a href="http://www.baseball-reference.com/boxes/MIL/MIL201404260.shtml" target="_blank">April 26 at Miller Park</a>. You might want to avert your eyes from that link -- Wood had a rough go, Estrada threw quite well. Estrada has not been quite that good since (5.16 ERA in May including getting roughed up by the Cubs at Wrigley in yet another game in which he faced <span>Travis Wood</span> <a href="http://www.baseball-reference.com/boxes/CHN/CHN201405180.shtml" target="_blank">May 18</a>). Wood threw much better that day.</p>
<p>Estrada leads the major leagues in home runs allowed (16). Six of those are in his last two starts. Perhaps the Cubs can hit some long balls tonight.</p>
<p>It's really unusual, in these days of five-man rotations, for two pitchers to face each other three times in the season's first two months -- and these teams have two more series, so it could happen two more times. That'd be almost unique in modern baseball.</p>
<p>Today's game is on WGN.</p>

<p>For 2014, we are going to have the same game-thread routine as 2013. Here's how it works.</p>
<p>You'll find the game preview -- like this one -- posting as the first link in the StoryStream™, which will then contain all the overflow threads and the recap. The recap will also be on the front page as a separate post; once I post a game recap, the stream for each game will be retitled "Cubs vs. (Team) (Day of Week) Game Threads" so you can go back and find every thread related to that particular game.</p>
<p>In general, game previews will post two hours before game time. Exception: for day games after night games, that will usually be 90 minutes.</p>
<p>You will also be able to find the First Pitch Thread and all the overflow threads in the box marked "<a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.bleedcubbieblue.com/">Chicago Cubs</a> Game Threads" at the bottom of the front page (<a href="http://www.bleedcubbieblue.com/game-threads">you can also find them in this section link</a>). They will also appear in this StoryStream™. As I've done for each regular-season game for several years now, we'll have the First Pitch thread at five minutes before game time (moved up from actual game time per your requests), then an overflow one hour, two hours and 2:45 after game time.</p>
<p>Discuss amongst yourselves.</p>
