2017-09-20: Brewers (Wilkerson) at Pirates (Brault) 6:05 PM CDT [Brewers lose, 6-4]

[owbc]

Playoff odds on fivethirtyeight have jumped to 40%. I believe that's a season high. Just keep winning and good things happen.

[rcc]

Whatever works. Wilkerson just might be a good starter and do well tonight.

[tmwiese55]

If we can win tonight and Cubs lose they'll actually be sitting in a fairly good spot. Cmon, let us catch a break today

[BuckyBrewer61]

Seems Shaw's plate discipline has declined lately, can't seem to lay off anything low, including low and off the plate

[PinaMadness]

I doubt Wilkerson goes more than three.

[tmwiese55]

I've been thinking his swing lately has reminded me of Jim Thome's pure upper cut HR or bust type swing. IDK if it just didn't occur to me earlier or if anything has changed. I'm probably crazy, but that's just been in my head lately. He's still done fine, hits the ball hard a lot, just not as good as earlier in the year. I also get the vibe he's fairly banged up at this point. but overall he's the least of our problems.

[Warning Track Power]

Wilkerson, physically, reminds me of Marcum. Had to look twice.

[PinaMadness]

Marte must've forgot Pina was catching.

[tmwiese55]

I hope PIT continues to make bad baserunning decisions like they've done several times this series. Anything helps. Let's get an early lead and cruise guys

[PinaMadness]

I'll take another 1-0 victory.

[markedman5]

What a blast

[SomewhereInTime]

That's gotta be 440+, what a bomb

[PinaMadness]

1-0 Rays early.

[PinaMadness]

To get within 3 of the Cubs after tonight will be huge. Take 3 of 4 from them and we're only 1 game behind and most likely ahead of Colorado in the standings. Splitting wouldn't do any good at all and would all but win the division for the Cubs.

[markedman5]

Boom!

[topper09er]

What is Broxton doing, he missed the ball laterally?

 

We might need to start put Phillips in every game at least for late inning defense

[BuckyBrewer61]

Rays go up 3-0

[owbc]

4-0 Rays now!!!

[Est1970]

Nicely done, Jesus!

[owbc]

That was a meatball...

 

Need more offense I guess.

[topper09er]

Get the bullpen up, so far this inning 2 crushed balls and a walk.

[BuckyBrewer61]

I think you can go get him now

[markedman5]

Well that turned in a hurry

[pacopete4]

Back to AAA

[Lathund]

No shortage of TOOTBLANs with the Pirates and Cardinals in the division.
