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

[Cool Hand Lucroy]

In this same situation but the wild card game, would CC start the 9th with Hader?

 

Braun PH for Hader, but I think he would...

Perhaps. Depends on the matchups. Cubs have quite a few righties lined up for this inning. Makes sense to pitch Jeffress here.

Yes, sorry assume that didnt happen

[brewcrewdue80]

Blow Maddon,s and Cardinal fans mind. Use a positional player with Jeffress infield, intl walk then put Jeffress on mound for save

Up 4?

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

Cubs haven't lost a series at Wrigley since late May, according to Anderson.

 

Icing on the cake!

What is the crap I am seeing about the Nats not starting Scherzer on full rest?

 

I heard that, for some reason, Joe Ross is starting. It was frustrating.

Possible rain from hurricane could delay or cancel the game. They don't want to mess with Scherzer warming up or pitching and then the game gets delayed or called. Too valuable to risk that in a lost season.

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

Atta boy Arcia!

 

Brewers win!

[FVBrewerFan]

Fly the L....the big one!

[B-Train]

Enjoy the day off gentlemen!

Nah, landfall is Friday and then moving south before moving north. Hurricane will have no effect.

Great series. Let’s win this division now.

feels good man

[Cool Hand Lucroy]

Enjoy the day off gentlemen!

 

I know I will.

 

Go Nats!

[tmwiese55]

And just in general why not give Scherzer some rest if he feels he needs it. Their season is over. Bad luck for us but can't blame them, he's too valuable to them

 

Awesome awesome win. Great management from CC, give some credit where it's due to navigate that game

[markedman5]

Lots of atom balls tonight for the Cubs.......huge win!

 

Cubs hadn't lost a home series since May.......incredible

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

One game out. Huge series win on the road.

 

Now they gotta take care of business against the Pirates this weekend. Can't get lazy.

[AKCheesehead]

I read one article today where theo was basically making a veiled threat that there was a possibility they would just forfeit/refuse to play the game. Lol

[KeithStone53151]

Hell yeah! Good win. 1 game back, let's get the division!

[tigerbrew]

Great Win!

 

The Granderson trade is looking great.

Good. That's a lose for them.

[PinaMadness]

I agree with BA and Rock. This was a well managed game for CC. Maybe even his best ever.

[TURBO]

 

That never gets old!

[pacopete4]

So. Much. Fun! Just keep playing good baseball and ya never know.
