CC's message to Shaw should be to absolutely not swing under any circumstance.
-
The umpire was right on that call and I'd have melted down if it would have gone the other way. That's just the dumb stupid luck the Brewers are getting right now.
-
Haven't watched past the 1st of either of the first two game. I'm tempted to turn this one off already before a 78mph looper with an xOBP of like .230 drops in for a hit and scores Yelich.
-
I'll bite here. If the Brewers are getting electronic sign stealing help, why go through the runner? Why not just move a dot on the scoreboard or have Benny Brewer hold his mug in a different hand or have front row Amy show more/less cleavage? Seems artificially limiting to have a plan that can ONLY be used with runners on base.
-
This should have gotten more attention, great comment! 😆
-
We did trade top prospects for bats each of the last two years (Busch & Tucker), it's not like Jed's afraid to make a deal.
-
Remember when Andrew Miller was "unhittable" until he wasn't. A couple of really good ABs here can completely change the course of this game/series/season.
-
Yep, I was glooming yesterday. Feels like this is the Cubs' MO now.
-
Here's PCA's chance to make a splash. If he somehow gets ahold of one after the IBB, I want to see a bat flip to the horsefeathers-ing moon.
-
These announcers are just terrible. "Fernando Tatis should hit it in the gap instead of popping up" is both obvious and dumb. It's like ESPN/ABC told them "no one watching knows anything about baseball, just be as basic as you can possibly be".
-
I'd like to see Cubs really run up Cease's pitch count. I know their "vaunted" pen is "great", but I'd love to get him out earlier than the Padres planned.
-
If you somehow wriggle out of this, the opener worked even better than expected because that's deeper in the game till you get to the 3rd time through for Sho.
-
Fermin is an absolutely must get right here.
-
Scratch that, 1 in 1 vs Rockies in 2018 WC
-
In fairness, there's been what? 2 hard hit balls off Boyd? One of them was the out to Dansby.
-
If we're lucky.
-
That was an absolutely atrocious at bat by PCA. You've at least gotta make the guy put one in the zone.
-
Pouring champagne on TMac should be one of the experiences they auction off on ALS Day. 💰 😉

Calling it right now: Boyd 7.2 2-hit ball, leaves up 2-0 after Nico error and missed third strike call give Brewers their first scoring opportunity of the day. Keller shuts the door with a nasty slider. Sensing a need to save bullpen arms, Counsell leaves Keller in for the 9th. First two batters hit lazy fly balls then Durbin reaches on a dropped third strike, bunt single gets him to second and miscommunication between Caissie and PCA results in a dropped ball triple that would have ended the game (announcer praise Turang's "hustle out of the box" and draw contrasts to Tucker in "respect of the game"). Game ends on a bloop single, 67 MPH off the bat, by a batter whose OPS is .540 away from Wrigley, but .928 at the Friendly Confines. Keller's line: 1.1 IP, 2 K's, 0.00 ERA, Takes the loss

Disagree with JD here to some degree: 1. Less pressure for other guys. If Tuck is red hot, other guys can relax with less fear of failure because you know there's a monster lurking that can clean up your mistakes. 2. Yes, he creates more opportunities. That's exactly right. It puts pressure on the pitcher which results in an advantage for the batters.
-
Would have been worse to give up Horton or Shaw or Ballesteros for Alcantara and him get blown up also.
-
Right, that's his M.O. That's why the guy is a good pitcher, but good grief, you had the answer to the test right there.
-
Counsell has watched Peralta pitch a ton of times. How do you not tell Caissie to literally not swing at any pitch no matter what? Peralta never intended to throw him a strike.
