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

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

This game has been so anti-2018 Brewers tonight. Smart baserunning and manufacturing runs. Solid defense (except for Arcia's error). Taking advantage of the other team's mistakes.

 

This looks like a playoff team!

[PinaMadness]

The Cubs are playing like the Cubs of the 70s LOL.

I want this lead so big that we could trust Boone Logan to pitch...

[markedman5]

Fire Joe Maddon!

[igor67]

I'll take free runs any day of the week

The >.400 OBP for Cain is a very impressive stat to be carrying into September.

[hurricanecrush]

Such a Brewers play!! Wait, that was the Cubs!!! I guess other good teams can kick and throw the ball around.

Cleaely the Cubs aren’t a playoff team, playoff teams don’t give away runs or games.

Has Contreras always been this bad behind the plate? I mean this is simple catching the ball stuff...not even blocking in the dirt

He is not the greatest.

[Baldkin]

Cain looked so lost up there that AB

He's no Pina, that's for sure.

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

Why did the Cubs put in their version of Taylor Williams?

[Lathund]

I'm enjoying this.

 

Please add on some runs though!

[MoreTrife]

Moar runs!!!

[PinaMadness]

Salami right here, Jesus.

I believe he has always been a bat first player. I would guess it doesn’t help that he didn’t even begin catching games as a professional until he turned 20.

Patient at-bats and making pitchers throw strikes. Who are these guys?

[markedman5]

Brewers have figured out how to put the deflector shields up over the strike zone......

They were pretty much begging the pitcher to throw a strike. Showed zero interest swinging. Heck even being in the box.

That's one of the filthiest sliders I've ever seen. Starts at him and breaks into the zone for a strike. At 90 mph.

 

I wouldn't want any part of that either.

[wildcat83]

Big hit here would really open it up and let us keep our key relievers rested.

Talk about a scrub pitching line, age 26 with two cups of coffee and a career WHIP way over 2.00 and you put him in in the 6th down only a couple.

Counsell is such an idiot.

That's fair, but twice in the last 2 games he has dropped a fastball. Like, a ball thrown directly to him. I feel like you should make that mistake once a year at most. Not complaining, just surprised.

Aguilar just battling away down 0-2. Nice AB
