2019-09-01: Brewers (Gonzalez) at Cubs (Darvish scratched - Chatwood) [Brewers win, 4-0 -- Yelich hits HR #42 off Kimbrel in 9th]

[BigAlBarampGrill]

Verlander with a no-no and 13 k's through 8 innings, but the Astros haven't scored either.

 

But they took Verlander out??

[PinaMadness]

2-0 Astros now.

[markedman5]

Ok cc that's it for Gio.....I've seen all I want to out of him today....

[BigAlBarampGrill]

Is Gio coming out?

[trwi7]

Gonzalez has been awful and is damn lucky he was gifted that 3-0 strike several inches off the plate.

[82brewcrew82]

And there are those that want Gio resigned.

[MNBrew]

At this rate, assuming he can keep it up, Gio's going to throw a 165-pitch no-hitter with at least 12 walks. 34 balls vs. 22 strikes after 3. Good heavens!

[Bulldogboy]

People been saying bring back Anderson and Gio. If they do this team will be no where. You have to do better.

[adambr2]

I thought "well of course, double play ball". Then I realized Spangenberg got to 2nd on the throw to 3rd on the last play. Nice job.

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

Hey ... a sacrifice with RISP. How about that!

[HarveysWBs]

What a huge moment in brewers history!

 

Freitas, as advertised! Positively Ruthian BB there!

[trwi7]

My back is sore just watching Frietas' stance.

[adambr2]

Chatwood wants nothing to do with King David.

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

David Freitas, OBP King

[BruisedCrew]

Verlander with a no-no and 13 k's through 8 innings, but the Astros haven't scored either.

 

But they took Verlander out??

 

No, he finished the no hitter.

[BruisedCrew]

Hey ... a sacrifice with RISP. How about that!

 

Technically not a sacrifice.

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

Hey ... a sacrifice with RISP. How about that!

 

Technically not a sacrifice.

 

Result is the same.

No kidding. Annoying that the zone changes on 3-0 so often.

[adambr2]

I love Grisham's patience, but he gets called out looking way too often. 2 on and 2 out is the time to be trying to put it in play.

[BruisedCrew]

Now the Cubs fan bring in a bum lefty to shut down the Brewers lefty lineup.

 

I know people said one of the good things about Grisham was his discipline at the plate. It seems to me like he takes too many strikes. Maybe his approach won’t work as well with major league pitchers who are better at hitting corners.

[BigAlBarampGrill]

I see some Brewers fans here and there in the crowd. Maybe they should call it Miller Park South now.?? get it?

Or maybe he just needs time to adjust since, you know, he is a rookie with fewer than 100 major league ABs who was in AA to start the year.

[MNBrew]

This all-strikeout offense we have is worse than the pitching. That was an utterly rare RBI w/ RISP, but it still came with an out (on the first pitch, no less -- nice plate approach, Mr. Arcia).

 

Can we have a DH for the shortstop? In 41 games since the break, Arcia has 24 hits including a whopping 3 for extra bases (.190 BA, .515 OPS).

Between "Wrigley North" and throwing visitor HRs back onto the field, I've got no interest in mimicking lame Cub traditions.

[stoutdude04]

Jam shot...infield single. Hopefully Schwarber doesnt square one up here...
