2018-09-12: Brewers (Anderson) at Cubs (Hendricks) 7:05 PM CDT [Brewers win, 5-1 -- Granderson 3-for-4 including 3B, HR]

[MoreTrife]

Throw a high FB and he'll strike out!!!

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

Not 1 PH for 3 lefty hitters? What are you saving the rightys for? Arcia should have batted there removing Perez and Braun plays 1b fpr Thames

 

Perez did just fine there.

 

Braun to 3b pinch runner. Arcia to bat for Thames

 

That would have made a lot of sense. I wonder if they are leery of Braun playing 1B? Hasn't been out there for awhile.

[phnxcrew]

I don't agree at all with Baez being the front runner for the MPV.... .327 OBP? Just swings hard, and embarrasses himself quite often it seems.

[MoreTrife]

Throw a high FB and he'll strike out!!!

 

Or an awkward curve.

[pacopete4]

CC is a real liability to the Brewers in these close games where some smarts in critical moments are necessary.

 

These takes are so strange to me.

[topper09er]

0-2 on Baez do not throw any more strikes this AB

 

Baez has been more patient than usual this series it seems.

 

Have faith cool hand, Baez will chase

[buckybrewer232]

Huge K there! C'mon Corey finish this inning!

[pacopete4]

Javy Baez is exciting to watch. Wish Arcia turned out more like him.

[dlk9s]

Knebel looked fantastic. Glad to see him back.

[MoreTrife]

I don't agree at all with Baez being the front runner for the MPV.... .327 OBP? Just swings hard, and embarrasses himself quite often it seems.

 

His numbers are similar to Aguilar's. Except for average. OPS, HRs, RBIs. He's just flashy.

[clancyphile]

Knebel did it!

 

Now for Hader...

 

But Pina, Knebel, and Granderson due to bat...

[PinaMadness]

Two for Hader and have Jeffress close it out. And get some gosh darn runs.

[YelichPosse]

Knebel looks as good as he has all year.

 

Talk about good timing too!

[wallus]

Knebel looked fantastic. Glad to see him back.

 

His high fastball is almost unhittable.

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

Nice inning from Corey there. I think it is safe to say that Good Corey is back. Hard to be bothered that be gave up a hard hit to Bryant.

[topper09er]

Not 1 PH for 3 lefty hitters? What are you saving the rightys for? Arcia should have batted there removing Perez and Braun plays 1b fpr Thames

 

Perez did just fine there.

 

Braun to 3b pinch runner. Arcia to bat for Thames

 

Perez was fine to stay on 3rd, at least we know we would be sliding head first into home on a force out

[adambr2]

Gotta think Hader and Jeffress are getting these last 9 outs unless we can put up some runs, right?

[PinaMadness]

Knebel looks like he's back alright. I still wouldn't give him any late innings though.

[Cool Hand Lucroy]

I think we will see Soria, Hader, JJ here, but maybe Hader comes in after Soria gets the first two outs then struggles in the 7th

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

Knebel looks like he's back alright. I still wouldn't give him any late innings though.

 

I would trust him right now more than Soria.

 

Honestly, with how Guerra looked in his inning yesterday, I might try him in some leverage spots.

[PinaMadness]

The bullpen better be lights out tonight because I have no faith the offense can score again.

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

There's the Domingo we haven't seen since last September!

[buckybrewer232]

Now would be an awesome moment for Santana to find that HR power again.

[topper09er]

Is my calendar wrong? Is today Sunday?

[buckybrewer232]

Now would be an awesome moment for Santana to find that HR power again.

 

A double will do!
