2018-04-27: Brewers (Suter) at Cubs (Darvish) 1:20 PM CDT [Brewers lose, 3-2]

[adambr2]

This umpire trying to set a computer era record for most botched ball and strike calls in a game.

[homer]

Cishek is due to be bad.

[PinaMadness]

If the Brewers can't score in an inning where Sogard draws a leadoff four pitch walk, I'm turning off the game.

[adambr2]

I'm not watching, but Gameday showed 1 ball, 3 strikes to Sogard. Walked on 4 pitches.

[adambr2]

Good work pineapple!

[Greenleaf1]

I'm not watching, but Gameday showed 1 ball, 3 strikes to Sogard. Walked on 4 pitches.

 

I've never seen this happen once, but Suter walked Heyward earlier on 4 pitches, 3 of them in the strike zone.

 

Pretty awful, but we're taking advantage at the right time I hope.

[PinaMadness]

Like I said before, the home plate umpire is someone named Stu Scheurwater. Never heard of him before today.

[homer]

Time to break out of that mini funk, Yelich

[adambr2]

C'mon Yelich, need you to snap out of it now.

[pacopete4]

This will be very disappointing if we don't score a run.

[TJH123]

If I’m Counsell right now I’m pulling a suicide squeeze to tie this game

[PinaMadness]

Yelich just missed that one.

[pacopete4]

Damn. I thought that was a goner.

[homer]

Different day that's gone

Usually you don't want to do that with the bases loaded. Much easier to get an out at home on a force than on a tag.

[adambr2]

Crud.

[PinaMadness]

It's tied, but it just feels like a blown opportunity.

Or with one of your best hitters. who is also best known for being a contact no strike out guy. Get a hit and you're ahead instead of tied. I play to win. That'a ding dong most days

[liveforoctober]

a W is a W and an L is an L ... but if the Cubs escape with another 1 run win in a hard fought game that will be a little defeating. Would mean a lot to get one back after last night..

[PinaMadness]

Good thing Sogard bobbled that otherwise it looked like he would've thrown that in the ninth row.

[Greenleaf1]

Jennings threw that 90mph outer half and up twice in a row, what a shocker it got hit into right field.

[pacopete4]

And not playing Arcia costs us.

[OldSchoolSnapper]

I don't like Sogard.

[CrewFanBrewMan69]

Sogard can go

[PinaMadness]

That's why that one run felt like a blown opportunity. They give up the lead and it's unlikely they score again. If Arcia's in the game it's just another scoreless inning for the Cubs.
