2018-04-06: Cubs (Hendricks) at Brewers (Woodruff) 7:10 PM CDT [Brewers win, 5-4]

[jerichoholicninja]

Arcia has such a horrible swing and equally bad approach. I can't understand how anyone can think he'll be even a mediocre hitter.

[adambr2]

Really hoped Arcia's bat would be further along by now. He's a treat to watch in the field for sure, but his bat is a pretty big hole in the lineup.

[adambr2]

It was close but he got his hand in there. They weren't overturning that.

[cnycerveceros]

I feel like get Hader out now.

[Eye Black]

I'm guilty of this as well, but I always find it amazing at how down we can get as fans and how high we can get literally minutes later knowing this game is a game of failure and the highs and lows that go with it. I love it. The best thing is there are 162 games. A team can look terrible for 2 games and the world is gonna end. A team can sweep a 3 game series and we're WS contenders. It's awesome.

This is a very good, very well reasoned post... but this is the In-Game thread so we’re going to need you to pick one end of the emotional spectrum and practice some irrational fervor.

[adambr2]

Um. What the hell??

[MKEguy]

I'm having a hard time hearing the radio... What just happened before Carrot tini's strikeout? Didn't he pop out to Cain???

Balk called it back

[pacopete4]

Hader has three options to make millions of dollars in his career. Either as a starter, a back end flamer, or a loogy that no one touches. Must be nice.

[topper09er]

I assume we are moving Hader to 2B to keep his bat in the lineup

It was no pop out, he drove one to the wall and Cain got a great jump on it and caught it.

 

But they called a balk on Hader so no play and Russell got 2nd.

Wouldn't be an in-game thread without a passive aggressive post about how fans react in said in-game thread about an in-game event.

 

It's almost more surprising at this point that posters can't seem to grasp than in-game threads are the absolute perfect places for reactionary posts.

[MKEguy]

That makes a lot more sense. Thanks, all.

 

Also, does Hader have any say as to which of the above four options he will be living out through the end of his arbitration??

 

"But coach, I'm really good at throwing baseballs."

-Hader

 

"I know, that's why you're at second base. You can throw from there. We're smarter than you."

-Management

[markedman5]

Defense.......again

[stoutdude04]

My god. So annoying.

[MKEguy]

Defense.......again

 

I should go back to not being able to listen to the radio...

[ThisIsMyCrew]

Why take hader out? I love Craig but don’t be so by the book and ride the hot hand.

[stoutdude04]

2 out, 2 strike runs. Barf.

[82brewcrew82]

What a clown show.

[adambr2]

Can someone explain to me what Sogard has done to outside of a single hot month in 2017 to justify being on this team?

[Boomer5]

Good God

[topper09er]

I am done with Sogard, if you are going to throw that ball 30 feet short don't throw it you stupid nerd

[stoutdude04]

Why take hader out? I love Craig but don’t be so by the book and ride the hot hand.

 

He was at like 37 pitches and was up and down twice...probably not an awful idea. Just didn't work out. Not entirely sure Baez didn't swing on that curve in the dirt, but what can ya do?

Nope. That's it.

Wasn’t trying to be passive agressive at all, I love (and participate in) the emotional roller coaster of the in-game thread. I’ll use the winky face next time to convey that better.
