2017-09-21: Cubs (Arrieta) at Brewers (Davies) 7:10 PM CDT [Brewers lose, 5-3, 10 innings]

[DuWayne Steurer]

Now we'll just have to win a walkoff

[jjgott]

BLECH

[yfinn6]

Ouch. Get out of the inning and win it in the 9th.

[stoutdude04]

Good pitch too...damn

[oldguy]

Didnt have em

[adambr2]

Anyone actually surprised?

[topper09er]

Looked like Arcia could have dove a little earlier, although still might have scored the run anyways

[stoutdude04]

Guy can't catch up with high heat, and he gets a pitch in the hitting zone.

 

To be fair...it was pretty low and out of the zone.

[Invader3K]

Tough break. It was a good pitch.

It was a good pitch. Baez just hit it. Terrible luck for us and great luck for the Cubs like they have had all month. Sucks.

[jjgott]

LETS GO GET EM IN THE NINTH!!!

[oldguy]

Anyone actually surprised?

Late innings this year.....nope but the stats are worse for the crew in walkoff situations

[ReverendBrewmeister]

Yeah, looking again, it actually was. Just high enough. Game of inches.

[Cool Hand Lucroy]

Meh. Walk-offs are more fun anyway! Who gets the big hit? Braun? Shaw? Santana? I'll take Neil Walker.

[topper09er]

Jeffress pitched really well, and I think he was a step late covering first because his instinct was that the 2B fields it easily. Thats why the fundamental move for the pitcher is always start heading to first on anything hit to the right side.

[homer]

On the bright side, if this goes like 12 innings the Cubs will use like 8 pitchers.

[jerichoholicninja]

That run is on Counsell for overthinking it. Thames may not be a gold glover but he's the best defensive 1B we've got. Putting Walker there is just stupid.

[FVBrewerFan]

Susac in the 12th

[topper09er]

On the bright side, if this goes like 12 innings the Cubs will use like 8 pitchers.

 

...but we will use Torres or Garza

[adambr2]

Braun has had about 8 thousand opportunities for a big clutch hit in the last 2 games. There could not be a bigger time than this inning.

[oldguy]

Recent history says 3 up and 3 down and a loss in xtra innings. lets hope not

[pacopete4]

That run is on Counsell for overthinking it. Thames may not be a gold glover but he's the best defensive 1B we've got. Putting Walker there is just stupid.

 

Agreed here. Didn't go with his best defense to close it out and we'll most likely pay for it now.

[shanedog19]

Isn't it about time Braun does something?

[bani1717]

Screw recent history
