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

[StearnsFTW]

I think I'd leave Cishek in and walk Yelich to load the bases for Braun if I were Maddon.

 

Yep. I definitely would've considered it.

[stalton]

Thanks Maddon for putting in Cishek!

[Fear The Chorizo]

Do you consider walking Yelich?

 

Actually, yes - but no option is a good one for the Cubs here - best relievers all spent, they're now down a run and Brewers threatening with no outs in the 8th and he still needs to get 6 outs

[bigredrobbo]

Maddon burns the pen. We win the game, and the Cubs have no arms tomorrow and lose. Pretty please...

[folly412]

A-game Hader please. Or a pile of runs to not have to sweat it.

[tmwiese55]

Do you consider walking Yelich?

Actually yes, Braun hasn't done anything today from what I've seen.

 

Braun hit it on the screws his first AB. Two bullets just foul his second AB.

[hurricanecrush]

Yeli is going to seal game, MVP and triple crown right here.

[The stache]

Yelich with a 1.002 OPS on the season. Wow.

[pacopete4]

Hader is about in the 6th inning of his pen work out there. Jeesh.

[Fear The Chorizo]

Rosario going right after him - this guy is going to be good for the Cubs

[OldSchoolSnapper]

Fans booing a pitch 6 feet off the plate

[wildcat83]

The fact that I can hear MVP chants in Wrigley during this AB is PRICELESS to me!

[adambr2]

Ugh.

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

Darn! Nice pitch. C'mon Braun. get that guy on 3rd in!

[pacopete4]

Crap.

[The stache]

Brauny breaking their hearts would be delicious.

[dlk9s]

Rosario pitched great to Yelich. Nasty pitch.

[adambr2]

Well Braun, if you've got this, this is your shot.

[OldSchoolSnapper]

We have got to get Santana in. Got to.

[WinkelsasVsSoriano]

OK, someone needs to pick up Yelich for once.

[wallus]

Braun... redeem your crappy season with this AB.

[MadScientist]

Ok Braun, time to remind the Cubs that there is a reason Cubs fans hate you.

[SRB]

This dude can't get 4 H every night? What a bum!

[lcbj68c]

Can't fault Yelich. He gave us all he needed to today and through 162.

[tmwiese55]

Yea BRaun with a double in the gap and something cocky after would be priceless
