Game Preview

An already tense rivalry will have some fuel added to the fire on Friday when the host Chicago Cubs open a three-game series with the Milwaukee Brewers.

Chicago manager Craig Counsell is set to face Milwaukee for the first time since a five-year, reported $40 million deal lured him away from the Brewers in the offseason. Counsell was with Milwaukee from 2015 to 2023, leading the Brewers to five playoff appearances.

Brewers fans have had no problem adding Counsell’s departure to the long list of reasons to hate the Cubs, but the players haven’t shared the same sentiment.
