The Chicago Cubs need a win more than ever.
Following a heartbreaking showing in Milwaukee, Craig Counsell’s club is down 2-0 in the best-of-five NLDS against Pat Murphy’s Brewers.
“We made a couple mistakes with multiple runners on base after getting off to a great start,” Counsell said. “…you’re not going to win playoff games giving up two and three-run homers. That was too much to overcome.”
They’ll be given a blank slate when they return home to Wrigley Field for game three and a potential game four. Ahead of those contests, here’s what we know:
Game Three
Wednesday, Oct. 8 at Wrigley Field
Jameson Taillon (11-7, 3.68 ERA) vs. Quinn Priester (13-3, 3.32 ERA)
Game Four
Thursday, Oct. 9 at Wrigley Field
TBD vs. TBD

Better yet, prices are dropping.
When our team last reported on how much seats cost for NLDS games in Seiya Suzuki, Pete Crow-Armstrong, Kyle Tucker’s ballpark, the lowest amount we could find was $183 including fees on Vivid Seats.
Now, five days later, they start at $148 including fees.
Not bad savings for waiting less than a week.
Plus, this series ain’t over ’til it’s over.
As the Cubs said via Instagram four days ago “There’s more baseball to be played, Chicago #FlyTheW.”
Sure, things are quite a bit different than they were before Milwaukee won 9-3 in game one behind a stellar start from Freddy Peralta and the Brewers’ game two offensive outpouring courtesy of Andrew Vaughan, William Contreras and Jackson Chourio but now is the time to rally behind the Cubbies.
