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

Mow 'em down Josh.

[Fear The Chorizo]

Let's go - gimme great Hader please!

[pacopete4]

It is only a terrible call if it doesn't work. Hindsight is 20/20. Cubs made a great decision to pitch out. Oh well, let's go Hader!

[PinaMadness]

Hader will be fine.

[coolhandluke121]

I get why Braun ran there. Aguilar has bounced into a ton of DPs lately. Just picked the wrong pitch to do it on.

 

Takes away the SF for Jesus. Terrible call there whoever made it

 

Yep. If you have so little faith in him that you think you have to steal 2nd there, then by that logic you may as well attempt the double steal.

[OldSchoolSnapper]

Going to be sick.

[rondoman]

Lol that was a pitchout. 0-2 Braun going was terrible.

[brewcrewdue80]

What is with this tag obsession? That was a perfect throw, and probably not a wise choice to run.

 

I guess these comments that Baez is super good at that wasn't BS. They really are pumping up Baez's status over tags? I've seriously never heard compliments before on tagging someone out being noteworthy. There are great tags applied all the time. A perfect Fast ball pitch out and perfect throw by catcher to 2b and it's what a great player at tagging out? My God.

Or pinch hit with Shaw

It all goes back to the WBC where he was celebrating an out as the throw was coming. It was so cool so they never stop talking about it now.

Good question. Hader might start the ninth, with JJ as the Alert Five aircraft.

[tmwiese55]

I was for teh steal. I figured they'd be hesitant to throw with a smart fast baserunner at 3rd. plus it would break up the DP. also 0-2 pitch is often a pitch low and tough to throw. Just guessed wrong and it was basically a pitchout. Hindsight sure, but I think it was worht the risk.

 

Also, to the one saying Braun had bad ABs today. Did you watch the first ABs or just go off results. gets to 2-0 pitch and smokes it right at a guy. Next time hits two rockets just fould that would've scored a run.. Then a bad K. Then that hit. 3/4 good ABs

[Fear The Chorizo]

bring that heat upstairs

[yfinn6]

He went.

[Fear The Chorizo]

boy, drop a change up here

[PinaMadness]

Come on!!!

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

THat's a strike!
