2018-09-10: Brewers (Miley) at Cubs (Lester) 7:05 PM CDT [Brewers win, 3-2; Hader dominates over 2 IP, & JJ slams the door]

[HarveysWBs]

I thought peeking at the catcher violated the “spirit of the game”

 

The Cubs can do it, the Cards would never dream of doing such a classless act.

 

[sarcasm]Guess the game is getting soft. Where is La Russa when you need him?[/sarcasm]

[ThisIsMyCrew]

Lester left with back tightness...

[TURBO]

Remember when Jesus was almost a lock for 40 dingers this year?

yeah that's weak sauce

 

missed it, what happened? Thanks in advance for anyone that takes a second to explain

[jjfanec]

I am not able to watch the game but gameday has described a lot of the Brewers outs as sharply hit

[phnxcrew]

Is it just me of does Aguilar stand five feet off the plate? He can barely reach the outside corner

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

Ugh Jesus. That was yucky.

[adambr2]

Aguilar needs a day. Or two. Killing the offense today.

Rock and BA were discussing Contreras looking back at where Kratz was setting up last inning. I was under the impression that was frowned upon.

[markedman5]

Bad night for Aggie

[pacopete4]

If Braun could play first, this lineup would be better with Granderson.

[MoreTrife]

Ugh Jesus. That was yucky.

 

"All the plus 1s"

[Fear The Chorizo]

Lester left with back tightness...

 

Interesting if that leads to a missed start or two

[HarveysWBs]

I hope the Haderade is strong tonight

[LouisEly]

Wow, burned Schwarber without giving him an AB. I'll take that.

[TURBO]

If Braun could play first, this lineup would be better with Granderson.

 

Braun CAN play 1st...

[MrTPlush]

Brewers are 9 long outs from what could be an unofficial clinching of a playoff spot. Dodgers have already lost which would give them a 4.5 game gap on the competition. AZ and STL losses would be extra gravy on top of it.

 

That would be quite a gap to have.

[dlk9s]

Bill Schroeder had a .332/.379/.548/.927 slash line in 1987, playing in 75 games.

 

My favorite part about that was that it got him on the AL All-Star team in RBI Baseball as the starting catcher.

[TURBO]

I just hope that with Granderson on the roster, we never see Thames patrolling the OF ever again.

[Fear The Chorizo]

Wow, burned Schwarber without giving him an AB. I'll take that.

 

Did Maddon really do that!?! wow...

 

I mean, was he thinking Burnes was headed back out there or something?

[bigredrobbo]

Wow, burned Schwarber without giving him an AB. I'll take that.

 

Joe Maddon, he so smrt!

[pacopete4]

If Braun could play first, this lineup would be better with Granderson.

I should have put the word well in there. If he could play first well. He had some pretty shaky moments in his last few outings there. Wonder how much time he’s spent working at that position but right now it’d be ideal to get Granderson’s bat in there.

[MoreTrife]

So Maddon wasted Schwarbs right??

[MrTPlush]

Lol burn him to give Bote an AB....woooooow.

[tmwiese55]

Lefty starter today and tomorrow though. You'd probably put Santana out there if you did that. But yea could see JEsus getting Wednesay off the way he's been not so good lately. But maybe Counsel is afraid of Twitter if he does it
