2018-06-13: Cubs (Montgomery) at Brewers (Chacín) 1:10 PM CDT [Brewers win, 1-0]

[adambr2]

I assume with this pitch count Chacin is probably going six innings and that is about it.

 

Jeffress, Knebel for sure? Hader, maybe? Is there any reason Williams and Barnes can't go again if needed? I am leery of Jennings and obviously Logan at this point in time.

 

He's not going to get through the 6th. He won't get through the 5th if his next AB looks anything like the last two.

[pacopete4]

If it is approaching July and your average is close to the starters average it might be time for a demotion.

 

[adambr2]

Great job Chacin. After the 2 walks I thought that was destined to be a bad inning.

[bigredrobbo]

Having nailed the Pina pronunciation, BA has started saying JO-leese, and part of me thinks it's deliberate to trigger BF! Hehe,

[Cool Hand Lucroy]

Big time work from Chacin. Put up a couple, offense!

 

Watching Chacin pitch, he does seem to work best at the edges. It also seems like he throws more pitches that start out of the zone and never really get close than most pitchers.

He'll at least come out for the 6th. Nice recovery in the 5th.

 

Boy, other than Albers's implosion in Game 1, the pitching in this series has been utterly superb.

 

Edit: Unless they manage to put a couple on here.

[OldSchoolSnapper]

I'd think close to the whole pen is available with the off day tomorrow.

[OldSchoolSnapper]

FSN on screen graphics are very confused.

[KeithStone53151]

I agree. I would think Hader might not be available, and if he is it would likely only be for 1 inning considering his Monday outing. I'm expecting to definitely see Jeffress and Jennings at some point today.

[bigredrobbo]

You wonder why anyone would ever throw Baez a strike.

[Mr Southpaw]

Nice 6th inning for Chacin

[adambr2]

Great job Chacin. I was wrong. Didn't think there was any way Counsell would have him go 6 and triple digit pitches.

[ReverendBrewmeister]

Very effective 6 shutout innings from Chacín. Need the top of the order to pick up some runs in support.

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

100 pitches. Do they dare bring him back for the 7th? I imagine no, but I wouldn't mind seeing him come out and see if he can grab a few quick outs. It would be great to have a fully rested pen going into the weekend.

[pacopete4]

Steady dose of sliders there. Nice job Chacin. You’re becoming a favorite.

[OldSchoolSnapper]

I think we see Hader in the 7th. Just a guess.

[KeithStone53151]

Agree, nice job by Chacin. I have to assume that's it for him as he just hit 100 pitches. I would loosely plan on Jeffress in teh 7th, Hader in the 8th, and Knebel in the 9th assuming all are available. If Hader isn't available, then either Jeffress for 2 or try Jennings in the 8th.

Watch them get cute and throw Lopez out there now.

 

Excuse would be that he's the most well-rested.

[bigredrobbo]

I think we see Hader in the 7th. Just a guess.

 

 

I think they'd like Hader to come through the shadows against the Cubs lefties!

[buckybrewer232]

So who do you pitch the 7th, arm chair managers? I suppose it's hard to say to not really know Hader's availability.

 

I think I might start with Williams to face Gimenez and then have Jennings ready for the top with Zobrist & Hayward. If they feel Hader is a full go- maybe JJ 7th, Hader 8th, and Knebel 9th? Either way, let's tack on some runs!

[pacopete4]

I’m moving away from the bunt but that last AB by Yelich would have been a good time for one. Or hit and run.. something.

[bigredrobbo]

Assuming we don't get any more runs, I'd go Hader 7 and 8, then Knebel the 9th, with a super short leash and JJ warmed up.

[OldSchoolSnapper]

Yeah, Hader. I don't see a reason to handle him with kid gloves. He had a sloppy outing and then a day off. He should be fine pitching today.

[adambr2]

This team really needs to figure out how to start scoring some runs when they play the Cubs. Averaging 1 run and change doesn't cut it.

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

Jeffress coming in.
