2017-09-21: Cubs (Arrieta) at Brewers (Davies) 7:10 PM CDT [Brewers lose, 5-3, 10 innings]

[superfly]

On the bright side, if this goes like 12 innings the Cubs will use like 8 pitchers.

 

...but we will use Torres or Garza

 

Dear god not Garza.

[yfinn6]

That run is on Counsell for overthinking it. Thames may not be a gold glover but he's the best defensive 1B we've got. Putting Walker there is just stupid.

 

Was Thames going to make JJ run faster to 1B for the cover?

Yeah we have like our 3 best relievers out. There is nothing good for us about this game lasting longer.

It wasn't the first basemens ball to get.

[BuckyBrewer61]

Jeffress just wanted to make the Cubs use more pitchers. This is genius.

[trwi7]

I'm going to be optimistic and say Braun strikes out or pops out instead of grounding into a double play.

[topper09er]

Same advice to Braun as before, only swing at strikes please

Wake me up when something isn't CC's fault. You dont know Thames wouldnt have played rhat ball. In fact, he did the same thing earlier in the game.

No. He would have stayed home because the 1B had no business going after a ball that was just to the left of the second baseman.

Every part of that is completely wrong.

[KeithStone53151]

Walker is playing more for the team than guys who have been here all year. Swinging to get on base. And the results speak for themselves

[BuckyBrewer61]

Can tell Braun wants a huge hit in this run so badly. I feel the same way.

[topper09er]

half joking, but maybe Braun should just bunt the runner into scoring position

I thought it was a little on both. Pitcher slowed up and the throw was a bit behind

Replacing your everyday 1B with a part time 1B really makes no sense especially after Walker has botched some simple plays at 1B already as a Brewer.

Thames literally made a diving play earlier in the game that would have been right at 2nd for an easy out.

First pitch swings at ball 1

[SomewhereInTime]

Well there's a clutch hit!

[PinaMadness]

Thank you, Davis. Couldn't have asked for a better result.

[shanedog19]

Come on Shaw you are overdue buddy!!!

That would be good for your trivia question. Last time Braun has bunted.

[yfinn6]

C'mon Shaw!

[FVBrewerFan]

Thank God for Sedar 2.0
