2018-09-04: Cubs (Montgomery) at Brewers (Miley) 7:10 PM CDT [Brewers win, 11-1]

[jvrocksaz]

Maverick (Brett) Philips just tried to run through a wall. The wall won. Hope dude is ok though.

[LouisEly]

The Cards were 22-6 in August. That isn't going to continue.

 

Not sure if the Brewers and Cubs broadcasts are sharing the same CF camera, but the Cubs broadcast has a camera feed that is directly behind the pitcher's mound, not off to the side a bit. You can really see the movement in Miley's pitches. There is a lot of movement through the zone. Supports why he's having a good season.

The Cards are going to take one of the WC spots, it's a given. They are in a zone. We need to take care of our business and grab the other.

 

It's up to us, and no one else.

 

They are just one game ahead of the Dodgers for the 2nd spot who definitely have a playoff capable team. They've got a fairly tough finishing schedule. I wouldn't call it a given. Streaks come and go both ways.

[long ball]

Miley looked good in that first inning. cutter was really moving in to right handed hitters.

...but, they are the Cardinals...

Agreed, a ton of movement. I felt like he wasn't exactly sharp with his command but he was relatively close on hit spots most pitches. Overall, a good start. Clearly the guy to be careful with in this lineup is Rizzo above all others, don't mind putting him on base.

[PinaMadness]

Good to see the Cubs pitchers still can't throw strikes.

[KeithStone53151]

I love how Cain held the bat. Might as well set it down 3-0 there...

[adambr2]

Urgh. Well, better to GIDP on that one than his last one.

[ThisIsMyCrew]

I’ve never seen so many people reading at a baseball game before...cubs fans.

[adambr2]

Come on Aguilar, that was Strike 4. Get the bat off the shoulders.

[MoreTrife]

Bad AB by Aguilar. Missed some right down the middle, then watched two strike 3s go by. C'mon.

[KeithStone53151]

The umps need to get those right. Don't really want to give Maddon and Cubs fans a leg to stand on. I'm glad they got strike 4 right...

[PinaMadness]

Oh come on, Cubs fans don't know how to read.

[Fear The Chorizo]

No crooked numbers in early innings, please

[adambr2]

Cannot afford this kind of early garbage D against the Cubs. 2nd day in a row. Clean throw home and Bote is dead to rights.

[homer]

Feel free to sacrifice all you want, Cubs.

[MrTPlush]

Haha for how great Arcias defense is he makes some terrible errors and many at awful times.

[yfinn6]

Montgomery should have walked. I don't care that it's a pitcher but that's a bad call by the home plate ump.

[adambr2]

Miley got a big break there.

[KeithStone53151]

This isn't good for the game. Last year, I felt like we were on the other end of this. Would much rather see a fairly called game and let the players decide the outcome.

[KeithStone53151]

Shaw looks hungry in general, I feel like he has a swagger about him today. I'm expecting a big day at the plate. I may have just jinxed him to an 0-4 day with that comment...we'll see.

[FVBrewerFan]

Haha for how great Arcias defense is he makes some terrible errors and many at awful times.

 

Every player makes some terrible errors. Cain just yesterday for example. And I wouldn't say the 2nd inning is an awful time.

I don't know that I'd call that a terrible error. He tried being quick to go home and bobbled...then made a bad throw to 1st. It was a good thought, and a tough effort.

Yea I don't know how much more evidence they need for the electronic K zone so this arguing and complaining doesn't have to happen over and over. These pitches one ball length one way or the other are basically impossible to tell and they're just guessing.
