2017-07-06: Brewers (Davies) at Cubs (Montgomery) 1:20 PM CDT [Brewers win, 11-2]

[ReverendBrewmeister]

Need some better two strike pitches from Davies to finish off batters. Don't let the Cubs back in the game.

[brwrsfan]

8 runs is fun. But let's not assume this one is over. Still a ton of game left. Wind blowing out and a lot of power for Chicago.

 

Be really, really awesome if Davies can put up a quick, scoreless inning - whenever we stop hitting that is

 

Or do the exact opposite. Hits on 1-2, 0-2 and then drills Jay on 1-2 to load them up with no outs for the heart of the order. Ugh. Frustrating and certainly not what I was hoping for. Still so much time in this game here.

[brwrsfan]

Thought that was a routine double play. Could be a big play there. Looks safe on the replay, just couldn't quite get him.

[brwrsfan]

Big out on Rizzo. Come on Davies. Get out of this inning with just 1 run in and it'll feel like a big win.

[rcc]

Okay, they got 1 run. I'm glad he pitched out of it.

[MadScientist]

Now get that run back and then some.

[ReverendBrewmeister]

Not a great inning from Davies. But loading the bases with no outs and escaping with giving up one run feels a little like that State Farm commercial with the fishing pole: "I got you a dollar. You almost had it."

[jerichoholicninja]

Wow. There's barely any room in those dugouts.

Wow. There's barely any room in those dugouts.

 

Yah they are very narrow. Long...but narrow. I think they are being renovated this winter.

[pitchleague]

Sounds like the ump is dropping an f bomb every time he calls a strike

 

Nice to see I'm not the only one that has thought this.

[Lathund]

Zach Davies seems to be fine overall when he gets through the first few innings unscathed. He has a 9 ERA in the first, a 6.35 ERA in the second. 2.97 ERA in innings 4-6. I know it's a small sample size and all, but he has yet to give up a run in the 4th inning.

 

This one is on me...

[pitchleague]

So much for the "Davies has yet to give up a run in the 4th this year" as someone said.

[newrivervalley]

Wonder why Davies has problems early in year. Guess that's better than late in year.

[ReverendBrewmeister]

Great play by Broxton in center.

 

Another single run for Chicago. Getting at least one back this inning would make the game a bit more comfortable again.

I wish there was a way I could put money on Yadiel Rivera being the first bat off the Brewer's bench today. When guys get called up, Counsell uses them.

[brwrsfan]

Great play by Broxton in center.

 

Another single run for Chicago. Getting at least one back this inning would make the game a bit more comfortable again.

 

Agreed. We're up 7 in the 5th inning, yet I feel very nervous with this one. Anyone else have that feeling??

Strong conclusion when he has had one good second half in his brief career. Maybe he just isn't good and had one hot streak?

Nope, this game has Josh Hader 3 inning save written all over it. I gave Larrivee's "Daggar" call when Braun went deep.

Ha, well I hope you're right certainly.

 

Let's go Aguilar, just a sac fly here is fine.

[ReverendBrewmeister]

Got both runs back, and looking for more. More crooked numbers.

[liveforoctober]

Keep the pitchers coming …

 

This has been the most satisfying 5 innings of Brewers’ baseball I have experienced in a while. The 8 walks are awesome.

 

Needs to be said, kudos to both Aguilar and Villar. Both guys had an 0-2 count with less than 2 outs and a guy on 3rd and both got the job done. We have had problems there this season.

[jjgott]

Yo dude, no one wants Bud/Bud Light

[markedman5]

The Zack Davies turn in the rotation offense is really impressive.

[liveforoctober]

Cubs throw up the white flag in the 5th...

[liveforoctober]

I truly hope the first thing out of Counsell's mouth in the post game presser is a sly "Glad the weather held up today..."
