2018-06-12: Cubs (Chatwood) at Brewers (Anderson) 7:10 PM CDT [Brewers win, 4-0; Anderson -- 7 IP, 1 H, 0 ER, 6 K]

[Fear The Chorizo]

Ya gotta let him come out for the 7th up by 4, don’t ya?

 

Depends how this half inning goes, but yes, I'd at least have him start the 7th if they are still only up 4...too much can go wrong over 9 outs with key bullpen arms unavailable tonight.

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

I bet Domingo Santana is really going to rake in Colorado Springs.

[FVBrewerFan]

Wait, some people don't think Braun saved a HR? He caught it above the yellow line.

[xisxisxis]

I wonder what Coles is actually doing because Pina, Arcia, and Santana are absolutely lost at the plate....

[kybrewerfan]

Might be time for Santana to vacation at Colorado Springs

[adambr2]

I can't believe Santana put himself in a situation where he actually is going to get optioned and people won't be surprised. Never would have imagined it coming into this year.

 

It's clear that the Brewers saw the red flags because they were shopping him hard at the Winter Meetings. Unfortunately other teams saw the red flags too.

[MrTPlush]

Alright Villar on and Pina and Arcia coming up. If Villar steals 3 bases we may score a run in this inning.

[xisxisxis]

Wait, some people don't think Braun saved a HR? He caught it above the yellow line.

 

What? Braunie was standing on the outfield wall and leapt to pull it in, must have been 30-40 feet above the yellow line...

I remember suggesting it back at the end of April, and was basically told the idea was nuts and it wouldn't happen. Well, other than a week in mid-May, Domingo has sucked.

[kybrewerfan]

Please no Dan Jennings

[markedman5]

Amazing how much I miss Tyler Saladino......

[tmwiese55]

Who do we trust tonight? Jeffress should be able to do one and then get the next two days off. After that, Barnes? I really don't trust either 'lefty specialists'

[MrTPlush]

“Orlando Arcia fighting some hitting demons right now.” -BA

 

That is one sad sad fight.

 

 

And there it is. Orlando Arcia: .199 AVG .498 OPS

[pacopete4]

9 outs to go.

[YelichPosse]

Haha Arcia is better off not swinging . Not bringing a bat to the plate even... yikes. Santana , Sogard, Arcia all can go down. Southwest has some good deals I’m sure they can get a buy 2 seats get one free ?

To get this win I would squeeze one hitter each out of Jeffress, Hader and Knebel to get through an inning.

[YelichPosse]

Yes! They are letting him try ... I’m glad even if it doesn’t work I like this

[wildcat83]

Williams has been good lately, need at least 1 from him, maybe 2.

[xisxisxis]

Sogard is probably the worst hitter on a ML roster at this point... I want to see him start instead of Arcia... At least Sogard can take a walk.... Sure he sucks in the field, but at this point an OPS of 0.000 negates any defensive value for Arcia...

[jvrocksaz]

Facing Bryant, Rizzo and Zobrist. What a huge moment for Chase.

[xisxisxis]

Wow... Another HR robbed this time by Yelich....

[tmwiese55]

Williams has been good lately, need at least 1 from him, maybe 2.

 

I'd probably have him 3rd on my list. Assuming Jeffress can do an inning. Knebel/Hader unavailable

[adambr2]

Oh how we have missed this Chase Anderson. This Chase Anderson is the ace we need.

[YelichPosse]

That inning by Chase May pay off down the road this year ... you have to think that was a huge confidence boost

[tmwiese55]

A few badger mutual insurance runs would be nice to save Jeffress for tomorrow.

 

Might try to anyway with a 4 run lead. Barnes in the 8th, see how it goes from there. Maybe try to do two if he's low on pitches. Williams otherwise if still up 4 or in the ninth. Jeffress for any shenanigans. I think that's my plan right now
