2020-09-11: Cubs (Lester) at Brewers (Woodruff) [Brewers win, 1-0 -- Woodruff w/ 7.0 IP, 12 SO, 1 H, 0 BB; Braun walk-off sac fly in 9th]

[brewmann04]

The team gets a great effort an can't get a hit and then you pinch for Urias come on CC

[Eye Black]

It’s starting to feel like it’s going to take a home run to put a run on the board.

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

Come on Hiura, run into one!

 

Edit: Nope, swing through more middle middle fastballs

[mtsportsfan]

What a terrible at bat for Huira

[CheezWizHed]

Watching a baseball is so strange these days. You have so many innings where a ball is never even put into play. So strange. How do defenders stay on their toes??

 

I think that triple against DW stunned out OF. "Wait... he hit a ball?"

[timpep]

It almost seems like the path of Hiuras bat through the zone is the same regardless of where the pitch goes....

[Bulldogboy]

Watching Hiura hit is as frustrating an experience as I've had since Rickie Weeks. Incredible bat speed both but both appear to have a hole in the bat. It really is unbelievable.

[Eye Black]

Cardinals lost tonight, so with a win tonight the Brewers could pull within one game of the 2nd place automatic qualifier for the playoffs.

[brewmann04]

If Woody pitches like tonight and Burnes continues moving forward that a nice 1-2 punch and we have some solid guys in the pen.

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

It almost seems like the path of Hiuras bat through the zone is the same regardless of where the pitch goes....

 

It really seems like he's trying to launch one 450 feet every time he swings. I think be has it in his head that he's a major power hitter. I mean, he's going to get his homers, but his big selling point when drafted was his ability to put the bat on the ball.

[Lostpawn]

Is this a pitchers duel? Or just a crappy hitters duel? Or can both be true?

[TURBO]

I am always nervous when Hader enters a game... Just seems like he is on the edge with every appearance. I'm all for trading him if we can get the right haul. I just don't have a lot of confidence in him.

[brewmann04]

I think Hiura needs a break he missed to many pitches lately.

What a terrible at bat for Huira

 

What ANOTHER terrible at bat for Hiura

 

I’m convinced ... he needs glasses

[CheezWizHed]

Contreras calls down to 1B on himself on the check swing strikeout?

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

I think Dodgers pitchers must be licking their chops at the idea of facing the Brewers' or Cubs' lineups in the playoffs.

[Bulldogboy]

Yes I said this as well. He doesn't appear able to pick the ball up well at all. I don't know how a major league player can not have his vision checked by the club in spring training but it has happened.

[Lostpawn]

Nice job by Hader.

[HarveysWBs]

Utter dominance from Hader. You love to see it.

[mtsportsfan]

Totally agree .might just need a mental break.

[CheezWizHed]

It’s starting to feel like it’s going to take a home run to put a run on the board.

 

This is why CC put Sogard in. He leads the league in walk-off HRs you know...

[adambr2]

We need to just walk this off now. This would be a devastating one to lose.

[Eye Black]

Is this a pitchers duel? Or just a crappy hitters duel? Or can both be true?

[nate82]

The Brewers and Cubs have combined for 27 k's this game. So 50% of the outs so far if the Brewers don't K in the bottom of the 9th.

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

I wonder if a team has ever scored 19 runs, then gotten shut out in their next game? This is a year of firsts.
