2016-05-18 Cubs (Lackey) at Brewers (Nelson), 7:10 PM CDT [Brewers lose, 2-1; 13 innings]

[DuWayne Steurer]

I have no words right now.

[owbc]

As someone who has barely watched the Brewers this year, I applaud all of you for putting up with this on a nightly basis.

[AdvantageSchneider]

I'm super glad we didn't take a chance at winning the game there.

[DuWayne Steurer]

When he called the Maldonado pop out, Uecker sounded absolutely disgusted right there. Like he wanted to rage-punch something.

[MoreTrife]

I'm disgusted. I hate Madden, the cubs, the Brewers.

Thanks

[reillymcshane]

Wow, that was sad.

[adambr2]

How Braun doesn't get one AB there on a 'rest night' I'll never understand.

[MoreTrife]

Forced to watch wgn broadcast, they are just fawning over Joe Madden

[MoreTrife]

Lower back stiffness not rest night I read.

[The stache]

Yeah, fawn over Madden. The Cubs are one hit from being 0-2 in this series to a team with the lowest payroll in baseball, with their best hitter on the bench.

 

On a really maddening note, Khris Davis went yard again tonight. Four home runs in the last 24 hours; most home runs in the Majors since the start of last August. And, to boot, he walked twice. Look out, here comes a .300 OBP. Well, maybe not...

 

Just keep thinking about Orlando Arcia. That's what I'm looking forward to. But Jimmy really deserved to win tonight. Actually, he's deserved wins his last two outings. 15 1/3 IP against the Padres and Cubs, allowed 2 earned runs, got 1 run of support. One loss, one no decision.

So stiff that he couldn't take one AB with the bases loaded in a situation where he won't even have to run the bases?

I think that may be quite telling.

I half want to see Wood get a double here just to put even more disgrace on this team after that last inning.

Haha kind of agree. Real glutens for punishment.

[DuWayne Steurer]

Great strategy.

[MoreTrife]

It feels inevitable run will score here with relief pitcher up.

[jerichoholicninja]

Wow. Fantastic.

[DHonks]

Adam, I understand, but what's the point of giving him a day off of activities and then asking him to step in with just a few bat arm-circles and swing away. I really wanted to see him bat, and I want to see us beat the Cubs, and I want to see us reach .500. But I'd rather have Braun feeling better tomorrow with a day game

[MoreTrife]

Nothing to do with being a bad team, that is just... soul crushing.

[DHonks]

MoreTrife, Wood isn't your normal reliever. He's like Capuano--a former starter that is good with the bat

[1992casey]

Travis came into the AB with a .524 OPS and 9 career homers. Still, you throw him strikes.

[adamb100]

There is nothing more lowly for a pitcher than walking a pitcher with the bases loaded.

[reillymcshane]

wow.

[jerichoholicninja]

MoreTrife, Wood isn't your normal reliever. He's like Capuano--a former starter that is good with the bat

 

Hence why they pitched around him with the bases loaded.

[DuWayne Steurer]

......after an intentional walk. To load the bases. To get to that pitcher.
