2017-09-10: Brewers (Davies) at Cubs (Hendricks) 1:20 PM CDT [Brewers win, 3-1]

[Cool Hand Lucroy]

Kudos to ump for not calling that outside strike that Hendricks thinks he's entitled to. Hate Hendricks so much.

 

Just curious...why Hendricks? He doesn't seem to me to be nearly as annoying as Lackey and Arrieta. Not asking for justification just interested in why different guys rub different people the wrong way.

[BilliamdaIII]

Santana, who has a .972 OPS in day games, sits. Perez, who has a .610 OPS in day games, starts.

 

I'm getting really sick of Counsell not using data to make decisions.

It's a sunday too

Haha I don't understand it myself. His success despite obvious lack of talent annoys me even though it should be commendable. His scientist look and demeanor annoy me too.

[MoreTrife]

Boy oh boy Vogt.

[SomewhereInTime]

We're in George Kottaras territory with Vogt's noodle arm

[MrTPlush]

Broxton's use and understanding of the strike zone is shockingly inept.

 

Yah Broxton and Perez are getting old real fast.

And he's 24!! Why the hell does he need a day off? He gets way too damn many. So frustrating the players these days. And I'm not even old. Play. You're in a flipping pennant race.

[MrTPlush]

Boy oh boy Vogt.

 

Looked like a great chance to get him too at 2B.

I haven't caught in about 5 years and I would challenge Vogt tomorrow at a throwing competition. Wow, sad stuff.

[Cool Hand Lucroy]

I get it. Player dislike is one of those to each their own things.

 

Does Vogt really hit more than Pina? Of all the lineup decisions the past week, this catcher platoon is the one that makes me scratch my head in the direction of CC. Maybe Manny's still hurt, I guess...

[MrTPlush]

What a throw there.

[pacopete4]

Damn. Only a perfect throw gets him.

 

And Arcia closing his eyes so he couldn't avoid the glove.

[Cool Hand Lucroy]

Yup. Not much to be done on that throw to second. And Thames makes some hard contact too. Tough inning. Hope Davies can keep it going.

[MoreTrife]

Big big play. This one has all the makings of a heart breaker. Sorry everyone, pessimist here.

[pacopete4]

Love that. We need bounces.

[Baldkin]

Thames' RBI count is not great. That's a good example. He's got a guy at second with one out and can't come through. Situations like that cause his weird stat line.

 

I suppose he has a decent OBP but I'm not a big fan. I'd be curious to see what Aguilar could do with more ABs

 

Eric Thames stat for the day: With RISP: .208 BABIP and a .604 OPS.

With a guy just on 1B: .326 BABIP with a 1.199 OPS

 

It's truly baffling.

[MoreTrife]

Ugh Braun swings through two down the middle.

[MoreTrife]

Yeah punish Hendricks!!

[yfinn6]

I love how confused Craig Coshun was with where Shaw's HR was going. I mean, off the bat I thought it was way gone -- just watching Hayward you knew it was either gone or foul.

[yfinn6]

Atta boy, Hernan; love how he got down the line there. That should have been routine.

 

 

And now he's picked off. Go figure.

You can tell he's a head case. Presses when he knows RISP.

[pacopete4]

Okay, first off heck yes Shaw.

 

And mad props by Perez to bust his behind and beat that out.

 

 

And then.... back to my normal feeling on him.

[MrTPlush]

Idiot, wow just wow. How do you let that even happen.

[yfinn6]

Hendricks now getting a lot of the plate and only Shaw could make him pay.

[pacopete4]

As much as I don't want to open this can of worms again but as much as BA misses during the season I hope the Brewers/FSN Wisconsin just move on and find a quality guy to just take his spot. That way we don't have to listen to these other bums like Craig, Auggie and Nelson.
