2018-10-01 (Game 163): Brewers (Chacín) at Cubs (Quintana) 12:05 PM CDT [Brewers win 3-1; 2018 NL Central Champs!]

God, go sit down Braun. Thanks for nothing.

[OldSchoolSnapper]

Puke.

[adambr2]

"I've got this."

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

Ugh Brauny ... come on man. You can't catch up to a 93 mph fastball low and outside? He used to kill that pitch.

[bigredrobbo]

Braun looks like he's trying to be the hero, rather than just swing.

[MoreTrife]

What a terrible AB Braun. Terrible.

[jerichoholicninja]

Tim Kurkjian is quite annoying. You don't have to tell a stupid story for every little thing that happens during the game.

[Fear The Chorizo]

OK - so aside from Chavez, most of the good Cub relief options available today are LH...Brewers have like 10 LH pinch hit options...just saying

[mtrebs]

Surprised Aguilar didn’t swing at those pitches that were two feet outside.

[bigredrobbo]

Two strikes to Aguilar - got him where he wants him!

[adambr2]

Middle of the order just destroying us today. Yelich can't do this all himself, boys.

[OldSchoolSnapper]

Feeling much more pessimistic now. Gah.

[mtrebs]

Surprised Aguilar didn’t swing at those pitches that were two feet outside.

 

Wish he did now...

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

Oh man Jesus .... well, that promise died pretty quick. This is going to go down to the wire, isn't it?

[yfinn6]

Braun looks like he's trying to be the hero, rather than just swing.

 

Those were "I'm guessing" swings. He was looking breaking ball.

[bigredrobbo]

Two strikes to Aguilar - got him where he wants him!

 

Or, you know....not

[Fear The Chorizo]

get through this inning tied and then start cranking the matchups

[MoreTrife]

Tough to watch this offensive (both meanings) performance

[jerichoholicninja]

Tough to watch this offensive (both meanings) performance

 

That's been this team 90% of the season. Pitching is fine, offense is pathetic.

[OldSchoolSnapper]

I think this is one inning too long.

[Fear The Chorizo]

strikes Chacin, let's go

[brewcrewdue80]

ok. Chavez's last two strikes to Braun were top notch. So good that the ump called strike 1 to Jesus on a ball because it didn't move the catcher's mitt where it started. That's a tip to the cap of good pitching there by Chavez not poor hitting by Braun/Jesus. Chavez missed the 1st two pitches to Braun everything else 100%.

[KeithStone53151]

Contreras will probably be Chacin's last hitter...

[MrTPlush]

wow...terrible way to start...

[adambr2]

Cannot start the inning off with a leadoff walk. Just cannot do that in a tie game.
