2018-04-08: Cubs (Quintana) at Brewers (Anderson) 1:10 PM CDT [Brewers lose, 3-0]

[TURBO]

The crowd noise when good things happen for the Cubs is sickening.

[TJseven7]

Sniper pitching... 3 strikes on a medium sized paper plate on the edge!

Look at the front row on TV, I'm surprised it isn't louder.

[wallus]

Nice range Braun...

[jerichoholicninja]

Two freaking jam shot singles.

[Bombers]

Jeez does this defense suck

[TJseven7]

Poor Williams painting the inside edge with 95+ and this happens...

[CrewFanBrewMan69]

My god

[TJseven7]

Tallion 1 hitter... 2 bb CGSHO

[TURBO]

awful early to feel this negative about the team, but it is what it is.

[82brewcrew82]

Yeah, I'll keep the Williams kid. Command looks fine to me.

[pacopete4]

Might as well be 30-0 the way the offense is going.

[TJseven7]

Yeah that inning was a travesty. He was lights out. Big heat on the edges and a slider that can induce a chase.

 

Knebel Albers Hader Barnes Williams Jennings Jeffress Suter 2019 will be filthy in the pen.

Ok Peralta Houser Lopez who is the 8th?

I was more in the camp of Peralta being a reliever but he may be changing my mind....and they may need that.

I'm actually in the same spot and forgot we have jennings arby 4 next year so yeah.

 

Houser Peralta can keep trying the starting gig for awhile. Lopez is already sitting 9th in the pen for 2019.

[adambr2]

Pina misses a HR by 5 feet and strikes out. That's the way it's going.

[TJseven7]

But I like the high ones ~ Villar

[JohnBriggs12]

I'm watching The Masters. Tired of watching guys swing and miss.

[Bombers]

awful early to feel this negative about the team, but it is what it is.

They have an error in every game but 1. It is the source of my frustration.

[adambr2]

Wasn't the offense supposed to be good?

 

0, 0, 5, 2, and so far 0 runs in our last 5 games. Pitiful.

[brewcrewdue80]

Wasn't the offense supposed to be good?

 

0, 0, 5, 2, and so far 0 runs in our last 5 games. Pitiful.

 

#1 future Ace, Former Ace, #1, and today #2 future 1.

Oh and Yelich's bat missing.

[xisxisxis]

This offense is missing more than Yelich bat. Arica, Pina and 2B have been a wasteland. Braun outside of 2 AB has been abysmal. Santana hasn’t done much and when the offense does show some life the pitching hasn’t. Those will all even out over 162 games, but the horrendous defense needs to be addressed...

[LouisEly]

Braun's exit velocity on the line drive - 108.8. But right at Hayward.

 

Cubs get two bloopers for singles today, and a couple of bloopers yesterday against Barnes. That luck will turn around at some point.

#1 future Ace, Former Ace, #1, and today #2 future 1.

Oh and Yelich's bat missing.

 

That can't be a legitimate excuse. If you make the playoffs, you have to expect you're going to be batting against some of the best pitchers in the game, you have to be able to hit everybody

[xisxisxis]

And what moron in coaching ever came up with the brilliant idea that you rest so many regulars in ONE game. Might as well just take 1/7th of the games and just forfeit them and don’t charge the fans to watch a crap team on the field. Yeah sitting 2 of your 3 productive players is really a great way to compete against Quintana... why not just have our bullpen hit too instead of PHing so Shaw and Thames can get the full rest... Sheeeesh...
