Brewers try bunting the Manfred Man over but the runner is out at 3rd

Is Kelly Back???

with his popup that dropped due to the wind?  His early hit that would have been a HR without the wind was nice though.  Wind giveth, wind taketh away.

[DrCub]

WTFF is he looking at?

[JBears79]

Swing the horsefeathers bat ian. Stop complaining you bum

[UMFan83]

I guess it was too much to ask to get a runner home from 3rd with less than 2 outs twice in a row.

[Cubbies1996]

Glad the fans are starting to get on these guys. Get the damn bat off your shoulder, Happ.

Well that's one way to get the job done.  I thought PCA might try to score there lol

I thought for sure he read that ball dropping and was already rounding 3B when it dropped..lol

[JBears79]

Dansby with RISP🤮

[BigSlick]

I’m not usually a meatball about this kind of thing or how to take an at bat but you simply cannot see three strikes down the middle if there’s a man on 3rd and less than 2 out 

[UMFan83]

I know he just had a hit with RISP, but walking Nico to get to Dansby is something you can live with.

[Tangled Up in Plaid]

Just trying to make it as painful as possible, lol

[JBears79]

Dude hadnt thrown a strike in like 10 pitches but sure swing at the first mediocre pitch you see

[Derwood]

89 mph cookie and he popped it up

[UMFan83]

2-0 count, 89 MPH right over the heart of the plate, based loaded in a tie game.  of course its a pop up.

[Eeyore]

I'm stunned. Swanson always comes through with bases loaded. 🙄

[chibears55]

Love them weak swings when youre ahead on the count 🙄🙄🙄

his numbers with the bases loaded are actually really good

[UMFan83]

Wow the Brewers didnt score in the 10th and heart of the order for the Reds.  Gonna be funny to see how the the Brewers get out of this.

[Cubbies1996]

You cannot convince me Caissie would do any worse than Happ right now. Maybe even Tucker (although Tucker is still getting on base at a decent enough rate) 

[Derwood]

Runner bunted to 3rd. They IBB Ellie

[DrCub]

No way this goes badly wit Brown on the mound. 

[Geographyhater8888]

Another nail biter vs the horsefeathers pirates.

[Derwood]

And they IBB Benson to load the bases. Interesting

Makes sense right?  Force out at any base, walk 2 of their best hitters whose runs dont matter

[Derwood]

Reds win!
