2017-07-28: Cubs (Quintana) at Brewers (Suter) 7:10 PM CDT [Brewers win, 2-1]

In this particular instance there was no reason to take him out. None.

 

 

I'll just toss out the reminder that opponents OPS - 1.245 against Suter the third time through. Why chance it when you went out and got Swarzak to get you three outs?

Need some insurance runs here.

Suter probably hit his pitch limit. If so, there was no decision to be made.

82?

 

Maybe it was 80, maybe 90. We'll find out after the game I suppose.

 

At least Swarzak managed to not blow the entire lead.

[ReverendBrewmeister]

Made out with the lead. 3-4-5 hitters up for us in the 8th; for them in the 9th. Get those insurance runs.

[TJseven7]

On corey now

[Matt1969]

We need to get a run or two... I DO NOT trust Knebel with only a one run lead.

[folly412]

Suter's been very good. Only 82 pitches to get through 7 is impressive. If the rotation is healthy we're in good shape there; just have to deal with the dumpster fire of a pen.

That would be the one thing that would change my mind. I can't imagine why his pitch limit would be that low though.

Two-run swing there: Baez hits the hanging slider out for a home run; Shaw hits a hanging curve for a long strike. Flop those two, and the game looks way different.

Not to mention the two run HR taken away from Braun.

[Matt1969]

I'm nervous as all get out...

[adambr2]

This inning honestly screams Hader, but Counsell will definitely go by the book.

[AKCheesehead]

I thought with Hader loose he should have at least had him face Rizzo in the 9th. But nope.

[TJseven7]

Hader vs rizzo i could see.... come on knebel... shut the door

[OldSchoolSnapper]

It begins.

[TJseven7]

Had to advance rizzo.... grr...

 

Nerves climbing

[TJseven7]

1 more any way knebel... end it

[OldSchoolSnapper]

Runner in scoring position without a hit.

[Harold Hutchison]

One more out... c'mon Corey...

[owbc]

Schwarber is the last guy I want to see at the plate here.

[yfinn6]

Whew.

[owbc]

Huge win.

[StearnsFTW]

Nice!

[TJseven7]

Yeah boy!!!!
