2021-09-18: Cubs (Steele) at Brewers (Burnes) [Brewers win, 6-4 -- Piña smashes two crucial home runs; Crew clinches playoff spot for 4th consecutive season]

[markedman5]

Was hoping they would clinch the division this weekend, but clinching it against the Cardinals would be a sweet consolation prize. I'm getting pretty sick of this Cardinal Devil Magic.

 

Me too……O’Neill is hot man

[folly412]

Reyes is pretty good for a 25th/26th man.

[DuWayne Steurer]

In a weird way, if the magic number is 2 or 1 heading into the 4-gamer with STL, does it behoove the Cards to lose game 1? I know it's not the Cardinals way, but have to figure they'd rather get face three Sunday-type lineups...

 

Cardinals are in a 3 way fight for a WC spot. They're gonna scrap tooth and nail for every win they can.

[Eye Black]

I reiterate, can Reyes play centerfield?

He played CF in 11 MLB games in 2019. Only 5 were starts in CF.

 

He played 70 games in CF in the minors for nearly 550 innings of experience in center.

[Eye Black]

Wow, that was quite a slide from Reyes.

[Lostpawn]

Nice baserunning hustle for Reyes there.

Repeat.

[DuWayne Steurer]

Narvaez didn't see that pitch at all if he's arguing that call.

Yeah, and if the Brewers are still playing for the clinch in later games, it means you've already banked wins. Just a passing thought, I guess.

[markedman5]

What a slide!

[jason21nl]

Wow what a slide!!!

[Cool Hand Lucroy]

What a slide.,..

[DuWayne Steurer]

super safe.

[ReverendBrewmeister]

El Mago Reyes slide and score.

[homer]

now that was an impressive slide. holy cow

[roadcrew3]

Reyes might’ve just made the postseason roster with that baserunning

[Cool Hand Lucroy]

Reyes might’ve just made the postseason roster with that baserunning

 

No kidding. At the very least, he and Maile are going to make JBJ seriously sweat.

[willie key]

He can take jbj spot as super courtesy runner

[yourout]

Heck of a slide

[Cool Hand Lucroy]

I mean, the instincts there. Like, no way he had time to plan that or even dodger really...just had to react with that lefty swim move. Very cool.

I think this was brought up in the magic number thread, but if they clinch a playoff spot tonight is there going to be any sort of celebration? I know the division championship is the true prize, but I assume they’ll acknowledge it somehow.

I feel like even though this'll be four years in a row, making the playoffs for the Milwaukee Brewers is still kind of a big deal, so ...... I guess we'll see?

I think I read somewhere, not on this board, that they intend to keep a WC clinch low-key. Not sure exactly where I read that.

[markedman5]

Probably do something similar to the Giants

As I said in that thread, I am thinking they are almost forced to by MLB due to the apparel stuff. Fanatics probably requires it.

 

Not sure if they are forced to play around with champagne and beer…but it wouldn’t shock me if they have to.
