8/29 - Brewers (Burnes) vs Cubs (Steele): 7:05pm, Marquee

[Transmogrified Tiger]

This is take until you get 2 territory IMO, make him throw strikes in a leverage situation

[Irrelevant Dude]

Are the Brewers the new Cardinals?  They have somehow cobbled together an unimpressive roster of guys who somehow became an annoyingly good team.

Of course it doesnt help when the ump repeatedly calls balls strikes

[Tim]

[squally1313]

This ump isn’t serious people 

[Transmogrified Tiger]

still hasn't thrown 2 strikes without throwing 4 balls first

Absolutely yes.  My Brewer fan friends don’t even get it.

What happens when the umpire is calling strikes consistently 3 inches outside the strike zone?  Batters start swinging at pitching way outside the strike zone.

I feel like Tom Emanski rolls over in his grave every time he watches Gomes throw and yet he constantly gets incredible pop times

TIL Tom Emanski is not dead

Well someone pull him out of that grave then!

[Andy]

Pitching in the bigs gets a little easier when the ump gives you an extra 2 inches in each quadrant of the strike zone, but whatever

It's possible I made the wrong correlation to him rolling around in there

[UMFan83]

Brewers have had like 4 wins coming from behind in their last AB in the last 2 months.  Lets not let tonight be another one

[Transmogrified Tiger]

That Wade Davis stat seems impossible, I remember having downright Borowskian vibes when he'd come in

[Soul]

Moments like this have taken years off my life.  I just know it.

[UMFan83]

That's 1

[Rex Buckingham]

105.9 EV and not even close to going out

[UMFan83]

That's 2

[UMFan83]

Of course the fat guy from Rookie of the Year is up last

[UMFan83]

W!

[Soul]

Thank you so much for making that quick and easy.

[Rex Buckingham]

Adbert is nails

[Derwood]

Alzolay made that look easy

[UMFan83]

Obviously want to win the series, but we did the minimum here IMO.  But screw it win tomorrow too and really give the Brewers something to think about.

[Tryptamine]

Huge win, they avoided the disaster scenario.  Win tomorrow and I'm thrilled.
