Reds/Brewers day game thread

[Little Slide Rooter]

Took 18 pitches for CC. That's a pace of 108 through 6 and 126 through 7.

 

Yeah, that wont stop Yost from keeping him in 9 innings.

[Cynosure]

I'll just do it by half inning now so I don't clog any discussion.

That's nothing for the big fella.

[UMFan83]

Can you imagine if the Brewers went 5-4 instead of 2-7 over this stretch? They would be 1.5 games out of first. I mean if you think NSBB is bad now, imagine how bad it could be. I think mods would lock the entire forum for one week.

Damnit.. I hate not scoring on two out hits

COME ON JOEY

[Guest]

Pretend like it's Lilly up there, Votto.

[Cynosure]

Crap... I have to go for a few... be back in a bit.

[UMFan83]

K inning over

[Little Slide Rooter]

I dont know about this one. If the Cubs want to lower that magic number, they might have to do the unthinkable and win their own damn game.

[SouthSideRyan]

44 pitches through 3 for Sabathia.

[Guest]

Damn! 44 pitches through 3. On pace for:

 

7 innings: 103 pitches

8 innings: 117 pitches

9 innings: 132 pitches

Just imagine the Cubs had played to their season average of .600, instead of .800, over that 25-6 stretch before this 1-8 skid?

 

:doh:

[David]

Ugh

[UMFan83]

1-0 Crew

[CubsBears29]

I'd say its a given. DBR has no reason to care anymore this season, so unless CC inexplicably starts throwing BP, this game's pretty much over already, even at just 1-0 in the b3rd.

[David]

Hasn't this stretch of baseball taught anyone that the team that should win doesn't always win?

 

It's almost comical to call a 1-0 game over in the 2nd or 3rd inning. I don't care who is playing.

[Schwarber Fan]

1-0?

 

That's enough if CC goes 9 (which he will)

 

Keep pace, Cubs!

[Guest]

Damn. I'm following on gameday, what did Jay Bruce do to commit the error?

[David]

Damn. I'm following on gameday, what did Jay Bruce do to commit the error?

 

Threw the ball into the stands

[David]

1-0?

 

That's enough if CC goes 9 (which he will)

 

Keep pace, Cubs!

 

Based on that logic, the only way the Reds had a chance of winning was if they went into extras and maybe scored off the pen then.
