2018-06-11: Cubs (Quintana) at Brewers (Guerra) 7:10 PM CDT [Brewers lose, 7-2, 11 innings]

[YelichPosse]

Villar fudged up and wouldn’t you know the outcome is this mess of an inning ...

[wildcat83]

First run on an Aguilar drop.

 

Second run on a leadoff walk and Villar drop.

 

They've earned nothing really.

[Bulldogboy]

Feels like game over. You cant score a leadoff double and then give up that?? They are melting down.

[jvrocksaz]

Can’t walk the lead off hitter in a 1 run game. Can’t give Hader a pass.

[trwi7]

It's obviously a bad drop by Villar but I don't think it was a mental lapse or anything. He was trying to get the tag down as quickly as he could because he didn't know how close Zobrist was to the base. If he knew how far away Zobrist was, he obviously would've taken more time to make sure he had the ball.

[wallus]

Lot of game left guys, relax.

[adambr2]

For those who constantly defend Villar, that right there is exactly why people don't like him. Because he is exactly the guy that most people would pick 9 out of 10 times to screw up something small and stupid like that that doesn't show up in the box score and ends up costing us the game.

 

I've defended him and I've criticized him. But he is 'that' guy.

[Bulldogboy]

Let's not forget the awesome leadoff walk.

[pacopete4]

Good thing Villar jacked that bomb or we would be losing.

To me Villar was caught in between. If he comes out any further to catch the throw on the fly, he probably is too far off the bag to make a tag in time.

Middle infielders do that countless times a day across the league. Villar has been pretty darn mistake free all year. So no, he isn’t really that guy this year. However because of 2016 he will always be assumed as that guy whether he makes those mistakes once a day or once a year.

[dlk9s]

Lot of game left guys, relax.

 

I hope there's not a lot of game left.

[Fear The Chorizo]

It starts with a leadoff walk in a one run game...villar should have made that play, too, but hader is rusty

[Underachiever]

If you’re not gonna pitch to Rizzo, I’d rather you just hit him

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

Hader looking very average this inning. Of course it's against the Cubs.

[pacopete4]

Good time to stink Hader.

[wildcat83]

Villar dropped a short hop.

 

Hader walked the run and gave up the RBI single to a lefty... But totally Villars fault!

 

Man how personal opinions change perspective.

Why wouldn't you pitch to him?

He botched an easy out. I don't care the reason why.

Bingo.

[adambr2]

Hader is as rattled as I've ever seen him.

[stalton]

That's what we call a loud strike.

[wildcat83]

That was a LONG foul ball.

[markedman5]

Hader is human.....unfortunately

[jvrocksaz]

Good move Counsel. It is time to get Hader out of there.
