What did Alex Cohen say about the Cubs' series win over the Brewers?
2-2.
Ground ball to third.
Throw to second for one. For the win! Yes! Oh, baby! Cubs win! Cubs win the game. Cubs win the series. Welcome back to the big leagues, Jordan Wicks. He gets the save. Final score, Cubs 4, Brewers 3. That's for you, Wrigley North.
Spectacular stuff. That game was an absolute blast yesterday. Moves the Cubs to within. If you look at such things... Five and a half games of the Milwaukee Brewers after, as Alex Cohen said on Marquee, the Cubs taking two out of three and winning the game over the Brewers 4-3-10 in dramatic fashion.
How did Jordan Wicks perform in his return to the big leagues?
So why not talk to the guy that called the game yesterday in Milwaukee on the TV on Marquee Sports. He is Alex Cohen. He joins us now on 104.3 The Score. He is also on Twitch. What a ball that game was, eh, Alex? Yeah, never a dull moment up at Wrigley North. Just a boring 4-3 extra win when the Brewers have bases loaded, nobody out, and Jordan Wicks coming from AAA Iowa and getting out of the jam, getting Gary Sanchez, who had hit a home run prior in that game, to ground into the 5-4-3 double play to win it. and it felt like a home crowd for the Cubs at American Family Field. It was pretty special. God, and it just didn't feel good. When Ethan Roberts immediately gives up the Yelich single, the bases are loaded, and Craig Council did what he had to do.
Had to do, even if he didn't want to do it, even if he didn't look at Jordan Wicks as the ideal participant in this spot based on relative to his previous appearances. Wicks comes in, walks a guy with the bases loaded, and then gets out of it. What a whirlwind for Craig Council and for Wicks in that spot. This season has been nuts for him. Oh, it's been crazy. And you look at that walk for Jordan Wicks. It was on a borderline 3-2 pitch, which could have gotten challenged. You heard Jim Deshaies during the broadcast, challenge, challenge, challenge. They didn't. And then he gets the pop out, and then he gets the double play. So, I mean, there were so many different facets of – of what was going on during that inning, during that game, and really during the series.
I mean, looking at Craig Council during the 10th inning, like this win, that game, that situation, seemed like it meant a lot to him, and rightfully so.
Listen, I want to go back to your Rickley North comment because we've got to address this. Tell me the feeling in the ballpark. Was it really a 50-50 split? Did you feel like there were as many Cubs fans as there were Brewers fans?
I'll say this. I mean, when the final out happened, that roar felt like a roar at Wrigley Field. And granted, it's a bigger ballpark, and it's indoors, so the sound might permeate a little different. But I would say that roar from the Seiya Suzuki two-run single to the bases loaded walk in the 10th inning, and then the final out in the bottom of the 10th inning... that that's unrivaled and the fact that it felt like that during a road game in a rival series against a team that beat you in the nlds just what six months ago eight months ago i was really impressed with the cubs fans it was special alex we were having uh not a debate but a conversation about
the start on Saturday by David Peterson, which I said was the most important start that anyone's made this year for the Cubs because Peterson showed himself to be viable with an actual defense behind him.
What were the highlights of the Cubs vs. Brewers game?
And that's just the first time that the Cubs have been able to beat the Brewers all year. Do you know of a start that's been bigger that's been made by a pitcher this year for the Cubs?
It ranks up there. I mean, the one that sticks out to me is right after the 10 game losing streak. So they snapped it in Pittsburgh and then with an opportunity to split the series, it was Colin Ray against Paul Skeens. That's pretty good. Colin Ray threw a gem, Cubs beat Skeens, they split the series. Like that's really the only one that sticks out to me. Yeah, I was thinking, I'm not loaded with the specifics here, but any of Ben Brown's first start back when he had to step in, Javier Saad having to step in, and I know he came in after Tyone had gotten injured early in that ballgame on the road, but I guess it's just suddenly it's indicative that you have gotten some really good performances from a bunch of guys that you certainly did not expect.
