2018-04-05: Cubs (Lester) at Brewers (Suter) 7:10 PM CDT [Brewers lose 8-0; Knebel down w/injury]

[MoreTrife]

How many innings of shutout can we strong together!?

[Pugger]

Do I get my Brewer fan card taken away because I flipped over to watch Jersey Shore for a few minutes? I must be really interested in train wrecks tonight.

 

Hard to blame you. Watching this team get shut out by the Cubs' worst starter (by a wide margin) is pretty disgusting to watch. Come on boys, three more ups to turn this thing around.

 

Cubs worst starter? hmmmm

 

If that were true, and I don't believe it is, how sad is it that he is better than anything the Brewers are trotting out on a nightly basis?

 

Ugh, this rotation is going to kill us and I honestly see no end in sight.

 

I guess we all got all excited about Cain and Yelich but we really didn't address our rotation and the one guy we got is struggling like crazy. The last 2 games our defense has been dreadful. We don't get to play the Padres every day so if things don't get turned around its gonna be another long season. *sigh*

[adambr2]

Wow boys, way to make 'em work.

He's old, put up a 4.3 ERA last year, and was horrible in his first start this year. I'd take Darvish, Quintana and Hendricks easily over Lester, and Chatwood is probably a wash. And you are right, Lester would probably be the surefire #2 on the Brewers' staff.

[Pugger]

I'm gonna turn this mess off.

[TexasCheesehead]

Oh looks it's Knebel. Forgot he was still on the team considering we never give him a save opportunity.

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

 

Villar is one of the few that have actually had a decent approach the last few games.

 

Well his 0/8 BB/K ratio so far isn't looking too pretty

 

Zebras don't change their stripes. That .304 average is solid, though. He's put together some nice at-bats that makes it at least look like he might be on the right track.

[adambr2]

We are really fortunate to be 4-3. We've played considerably worse than that overall.

[TJseven7]

15 straight fbs... didn't work... stunning.

[SomewhereInTime]

Jesus christ

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

Closer hurt now in a throw-away appearance? OMG

[bigredrobbo]

And the hits just keep on comin'...

[adambr2]

Well that's just lovely.

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

You have got to be kidding me. Only the Brewers. In a 8-0 game.

[brewmann04]

Back to back ugly games vs the best in the National League Central

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

Well, for those of you that wanted to see Aguilar play 3B ...

 

 

(I'm guessing that is no one)

[adambr2]

Torn ACL? Whatever it is, you won't be seeing him for awhile.

[topper09er]

No smiling allowed Perez, think about what you've done tonight

[Baldkin]

Looked like Khris Middleton's injury. Hamstring. He's done.

[Bigblast]

Torn ACL? Whatever it is, you won't be seeing him for awhile.

 

Agreed! I just picked up Hader in my fantasy baseball league.

[bigredrobbo]

Okay - inspirational speech by CC "do it for Corey, fellas" and let's get 9.

 

Yeah, no idea how to make that blue!

[adambr2]

Well, Taylor Williams probably won't be in AAA for long.

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

Torn ACL? Whatever it is, you won't be seeing him for awhile.

Looked like hamstring to me. I agree, though. This'll be a long one.

 

Which begs the question now ... who takes over? Barnes? Jeffress? Hader?

 

Smart money would have to be on Jeffress I imagine.

[TexasCheesehead]

Can someone fill me in on what happened with Knebel / lie to me and tell me it's nothing major, just a precaution. Can't watch the games in Texas.

[cnycerveceros]

Who is next in line at closer? Albers? Hader? Someone else?
