2018-08-14: Brewers (Chacín) at Cubs (Quintana) 1:20 PM CDT [Brewers win, 7-0]

I haven't watched Bote's homer, but I say if you hit a walk-off granny when you're down by 3, you are allowed to show boat all you want.

Oh, I 100% agree - this is meant to be a fun game, but given his hatred by the Cubs fans, I'd like to see Braun rub it in a little more. That would be funny!

[OldSchoolSnapper]

Braun sure is playing well lately.

[tmwiese55]

can only watch on and off and no volume. Is the wind blowing out significantly?

[Fear The Chorizo]

the way wrigley plays on a summer day like today, it's going to take a lot or runs to win. 3 in the top o' the 1st is a good start.

I believe we need a steady stream of "Yelich is coming back to earth" posts.

[xisxisxis]

How many do we have to be ahead to feel safe about this? 10?

 

With the way our pitchers have been protecting leads and with how the Cubs seem to pull out miraculous wins every day I would say 10 is still worrisome

I think we need to set a new MLB record and get 37 runs today. That should keep the Cubs from winning...

can only watch on and off and no volume. Is the wind blowing out significantly?

 

out of the south at about 5-10mph...not significant, but straight out to left center. Summer day approaching 90 with relatively low humidity and a helping wind is gonna make balls fly like crazy, regardless of the wind.

 

Hopefully Chacin has a good slider today.

[tmwiese55]

Thanks. exactly what I was wondering and afraid of after two quick HRs like that.

[Underachiever]

As a substitute, would you accept a bunch of guys worrying about holding the lead almost before Braun's homer lands in the seats? Because there's been plenty of that already.

God i love me some Dan Plesac

Lets be honest, we're all thinking about it...

Not exactly unwarranted.

Cain may pass Yelich in batting average this week

I like Plesac, I think he brings some good energy and good analysis. I just have to prepare myself to hear the term "Brew Crew" about 1000x.

MLB.com says wind is blowing in from center at 8 mph.

OHHHHHHHH BABY!!!!!

[82brewcrew82]

jesus, braun,

[bigredrobbo]

Moonwalk round this time, Braunie!

[owbc]

Would love to see Braun get a third one today. Great to see our veteran step up in a key game.

[tmwiese55]

and next batter gets hit by pitch. Classic.

Entering game, Ryan Braun was 3-for-21 (.143) with no home runs for his career against Jose Quintana.

 

I guess he was due

[Cool Hand Lucroy]

and next batter gets hit by pitch. Classic.

 

Technically, Perez K'd, then Moose HBP'd, but I thoight the same thing.

 

Good start!

Stearns big free agents signings this offseason need to be Vasgersian and Plesac.

weather.com, the flags, and Ryan Braun's bat disagree with MLB.com
