The Brewers had their roof set up perfectly to shade their dugout and let the Cubs bake in the sun

The decision on roof status is decided by the MLB
The Brewers partially close one side of the roof on day games to keep the shadows off the field. Even if the roof was entirely open, the Brewers would be in the shade and the Cubs in the sun. (The Cubs know this since they play in Milwaukee pretty often.)
Isn’t it an advantage to be in the sun during an October game or am I trippin?
I knew there was a reason they only score 3 runs a game!
This is a highly misleading description of events lol. The Brewers routinely place the roof in this pattern during day games because hitters hate the shadows it creates when fully opened
Awesome. Now change the name back to Miller Park.

All is fair in psychological warfare.
Maybe MLB should stop with the shit daytime playoff games and only schedule night games. Let people watch the games they want when they’re not at work. Problem solved.
Home field advantage has its advantages. That open roof didnt allow the Brewers to have batting practice in the first 2 innings. Hats off to the Brewers.
Talk about trying to create drama over something that has happened, for other reasons, since the place opened. LOL.

Not the “Slow 70’s music”
No wonder the Cubs sucked?
I know this is a misleading bs story but I just want to say if the Brewers were doing this on purpose I would be in favor of that.
“Baking in the sun”
Today’s high in Milwaukee is showing 65’
This is done for every day game.
Yep. That’s clearly why the Cubs’ pitchers gave up all those runs.
Yeah, and did the roof force Counsell to bring in Mike Soroka instead of a dependable pitcher like Colin Rea? Did the roof sway Counsell to leave Javier Assad off the roster even though he has been one of the most dependable pitchers over the last few years? Did the roof convince Counsell to sit the best hitter on the team with an OPS of .866 in favor of a 40 year old dude with a .602 OPS?
Sorry, just a little salty at some of the very questionable managerial decisions for this series. Honestly, lots of them against the Padres too, but I tried to move on from those since the Cubs won.
Man, that October heat in the upper Midwest sure is brutal.
The Cubs should do the same thing at Wrigley. Two can play this game.
Need some Persian archers to make it more fair.

“Baking in the sun” -*laughs in Arizona*
The team that famously refused to set up lights in their stadium for years and played all of their home games during the day.
“Bake in the sun” in October in Wisconsin, lol.
Click bait! Trying to stir up a controversy for dramatic affect.
Hey Chicago whaddya say, Cubs are gonna lose today
They have played the last 3 months in temps much hotter than this. I don’t think this is going to have an effect at all.
