2021-09-17: Cubs (Davies) at Brewers (Houser) [Brewers win, 8-5 -- 4-run 8th inning propels Crew to victory]

[adambr2]

Ashby is a perfect fit for how we like to use our pitchers in the playoffs. He'll be asked to go 3 to 4 innings somewhere, whether it be to close a game or start or work right in the middle.

[Bulldogboy]

At this point what is the point of sending JBJ up with a bat??

[titletownking]

JBJ is the worst hitter I’ve ever seen.

[BruisedCrew]

Carlson with an 8th inning slam and the Cards are putting away the Padres 8-2.

[BruisedCrew]

Peterson continues his rough night both at the plate and in the field.

[adambr2]

Jace has 2000 MLB plate appearances that show that he's a marginal player. It was just kind of a matter of time before he came back to earth.

 

JBJ on the other hand .. .wow. Never could I have imagined he would be this bad.

[PinaMadness]

JBJ is the worst hitter I’ve ever seen.

Perhaps Uecker can give him some pointers.

[BruisedCrew]

Cain finally doesn’t hit the ball hard and it pays off.

[PinaMadness]

Boy, I thought they'd nail Reyes and the run wouldn't count.

[yourout]

Ugg....

[BruisedCrew]

It would be about right for this one to be overturned.

[yourout]

How about a wild pitch.

[BruisedCrew]

A wild pitch would look good here. This pitcher looks capable of delivering one.

[yourout]

Wong is going to hit a granny.

[PinaMadness]

I love when opposing pitchers miss the strike zone badly.

[PinaMadness]

No need to swing until Wick throws a strike.

[adambr2]

Yes!

[PinaMadness]

LOL Cubs bullpen.

[Zad Fnark]

Game over, man.

[BruisedCrew]

A big hit!

[adambr2]

Boy, I thought they'd nail Reyes and the run wouldn't count.

 

So close. If he's called out it probably stands and it's a 5-4 deficit and not a 7-5 lead.

[markedman5]

Finally some life!

 

Ashby gave them a chance

[yourout]

Game over, man.

 

[BruisedCrew]

There’s the wild pitch I asked for on the last batter.

[markedman5]

Cubs going all Cubs is a beautiful thing
