2018-09-03: Cubs (Hamels) at Brewers (Davies) 1:10 PM CDT [Brewers win, 4-3 -- Walk-Off Win on Yelich’s Bases Loaded Fielder’s Choice]

[LouisEly]

Stupid play by Bryant

Takes after his manager.

[Bulldogboy]

Tough call but Bryant has to cut down the run there. Good hustle by Yelich.

[adambr2]

Keeping the bunt sign on with 2 strikes there was worse than any bullpen move Counsell has made all season and it isn't even close.

 

Surprised more people aren't complaining about it.

 

Bunting with 2 strikes in any situation with anyone that isn't a pitcher is a horrendously terrible move.

[jerichoholicninja]

Have to say though, Bryant really botched that. Obviously tough decision in the spur of the moment what to do.

 

Not really. In that situation you're going home with a ground ball every time. Don't even have to think about it.

[Bulldogboy]

Jeffress has 8 wins? Wow. He has been fantastic.

[torts]

the most brewers way to beat the cubs

It's a hard play to make when you're going to your right and have to throw cross-body to home. Would've had to stop, plant, and throw home and he knows full well that Broxton's at 3B with a lead. I think that if he goes home it's far from a sure thing, maybe 50/50 at best.

[Lathund]

Cardinals, Braves and Phillies have all lost already. Rockies are up by 2 against the Giants. Unfortunately the Sneks and Dodgers are at home to the Padres and Mets, but obviously in baseball anything can happen. As this game was a great reminder of.

 

All in all, a very, very good day regardless of what else happens.

[Eye Black]

10th walk-off win this year, correct?

But getting up, running to 3rd and having to turn around and throw the other direction vs a fast runner is almost impossible. Pop up and go home you should still be alive another batter

He's out easy. Broxton froze on the linedrive. It's probably a double play home to first.

[lcbj68c]

I think Broxton is out by 3 steps if Bryant goes home. Live for another batter.

[Ennder]

Stupid play by Bryant

 

 

It is in hindsight for sure but I understand it. He knows Broxton is very fast and he knows that he is towards the line so isn't going to have a good throwing lane home. He was moving towards the third base line before the ball was even hit and his head is also pointed away from home so to get a good throw he is going to have to reposition his feet. I think that decision is a lot more difficult than people are going to give it credit for.

 

For Broxton's part he got a bad jump on the play so I think Bryant probably does get him at home, but I'm not 100% sure Bryant knows he got that bad jump in real time.

In the replays Broxton got a horrible jump. If he goes home he’s out by a mile.

[adambr2]

I thought he might have had a shot going 5-4-3, honestly. It was hit hard enough.

I'd put it at 60/40, but would still take it over trying to go 5-3 unless you have Johnny Estrada running up the first base line.

maddon is going to be LIT AF

I also called the VA and let them know there's a lot of cars parked there illegally with IL plates.

Great win........didnt disagree with 1 decision CC made today other then 2 strike bunt. Rizzo's Homer first ever given up to a leftie by Hader in his career.

 

2 days in a row we took advantage of wildness by other team to score big runs.

 

Davies looked like himself for first time all year.

[PinaMadness]

Regardless, the worst thing Bryant could've done was exactly what he did. The time it took for him to step on third eliminated any shot of a double play.

[Ennder]

Its never a double play home to first though, by the time he shifts his body and throws home Yelich is safe at 1st easily. Its probably an out at home because of the bad jump though.

Yeah I don't disagree with anything he did in the pen, Rizzo just beat Hader, it happens.

Or pretty much anything other than having Granderson bunt with 2 strikes which is statistically just a really awful decision even if Granderson was a terrible hitter and elite bunter. Fortunately it didn't come back to bite him so we aren't talking about it but if things went awry in the 9th it would be different.

It might not be a double play, but at least Bryant prevents the winning run from scoring. Two outs and live to see another batter.
