2020-09-12: Cubs (Hendricks) at Brewers (Suter) 6:10 PM CDT [Brewers lose, 4-2 -- Hader blows save in 9th]

[Eye Black]

 

Brent Suter: Batter (Cubs) vs Pitching Stats - Brett Anderson has been scratched; Brent Suter will start

 

Kyle Hendricks: Batter (Brewers) vs Pitching Stats

[Lathund]

I never feel optimistic facing Hendricks, Brewers rarely do well against him. But at the same time this Cubs offense doesn't scare me either, so should have a decent chance if they can just avoid having to face Hendricks for 9 innings again...

[BrewCrewBlueDevil]

It will be the token Eric Sogard start. I wish Huira would move down in the order.

 

Gamel CF

Garcia RF ( easier on his legs if he play daily)

Yelich LF

Gyorko 1B (keep him on the field)

Vogelbach DH

Huira 2B

Narvaez C

Arcia SS

Sogard 3B

LOL. Hader is 1/1 batting against Hendricks.

[pacopete4]

Stearns had to of stepped in with Sogard. No other explanation.

[TURBO]

100% agreed.

 

No way CC made that decision for himself, he had help.

[Eye Black]

Per Adam McCalvy: The Brewers have scratched Brett Anderson with a tight right hip. Brent Suter is starting.

 

Suter to start what’ll be a bullpen game.

[Lathund]

With Anderson out and Suter starting I think it's fairly likely we'll see a Suter-Peralta piggyback type of deal tonight.

[Eye Black]

Suter’s first six pitches result in strikeouts of Happ and Bryant. Not bad.

 

Edit: Strikes out the side in the 1st.

[BruisedCrew]

Hendricks is historically a lot better at home than away. Maybe that will play out again tonight.

[homer]

Looks like the gameplan is to swing early in the count?

[Eye Black]

Even with the Hiura base hit, Hendricks threw just 8 pitches in the 1st inning, all strikes.

[PinaMadness]

Wow, this Cubs offense is horrid this weekend. Even we don't strike out this much.

[TURBO]

Wow, this Cubs offense is horrid this weekend. Even we don't strike out this much.

 

shhhh, don't poke the bear.

[stoutdude04]

Vogelbach with a nice swing...Braun with a double play on the first pitch. Bummer.

[Eye Black]

Great charge and barehand throw on that play by Urías. Seems like the Brewers have allowed less infield hits lately.

[Eye Black]

That Brent Suter backward barrel role off the rubber was phenomenal. LOL.

[Underachiever]

Suter should incorporate that into his windup. Batters wouldn’t be able to pick it up.

[folly412]

Yelich having a series. 0-5, 5 Ks, 1 BB

[Eye Black]

Any bets on what inning Peralta’s pitch count will surpass Hendricks?

[sdcheezhd]

The Brewers had a .227 WHIP over 22 scoreless, now .304 over 23.

[trwi7]

I posted this after the game last night. It still holds true.

 

The Cubs offense, no matter who is playing and how good they might be generally turns into complete trash against our pitching.

[timpep]

I'm not going to lie. I wish they would let Suter start the rest of the year. Just let him go as far as he can, maybe he only makes it to the 5th once the rest of the year but I think it's a lot more likely he shows success as a starter next year than Anderson, Lindblom or Houser.

[markedman5]

Boom!
