2018-09-03: Cubs (Hamels) at Brewers (Davies) 1:10 PM CDT [Brewers win, 4-3 -- Walk-Off Win on Yelich’s Bases Loaded Fielder’s Choice]

[TURBO]

Davies looking sharp.

 

Last year wasn't all smoke and mirrors. The guy, when right, is a very good starting pitcher. It's been disappointing seeing the number of fans who are writing him off or just want him gone.

 

Why do opinions of other fans bother you so much? Everyone has different views and opinions. I notice people always complaining about other's views on players, managers, etc. Who cares what others think?

We pulled Davies to have Santana watch meatballs go by?

They looked like they were on the edge of the zone to me:

[YelichPosse]

lets go Yelich, give one a ride and give us the lead!

[JoeyWiemerTruther]

Huge credit to Arcia for manufacturing that run, he got lucky he didn’t get picked off but he had a really good patient at bat and got a chip away hit. That’s what you gotta do to win games

[TURBO]

Not sure I like pulling Davies already and trying Gio out of the pen here..

 

Don't want to see Gio, out of the pen, in a high leverage situation for his first appearance in a Brewer's uniform.

[JoeyWiemerTruther]

THATS MY MVP

[MrTPlush]

And that is a lead! Woo!!!

[adambr2]

Yelich--

 

1) Great job!

2) What the heck?

[yfinn6]

Yelich gives them the lead but thrown out by 10 feet at second lol oh well. So now what does Counsell do? Hader or Gio? I also don't really get Gio pitching from the pen but whatever.

Seems like a bad early hook to me, Davies was cruising. Now Gio to bridge the gap to our late innings guys. He’s NEVER pitched out of the pen in his career... let’s try it in a playoff chase...

 

Exactly.

The refusal to see the big picture is what is troubling. Like, fans are making their opinion based on a few early-season starts. Plus, it's a baseball message board. Differing opinions is kinda what makes the world go round.

Hopefully it’s Hader now.

[tmwiese55]

The booing of Braun from the same fans that slobbered over Sammy Sosa for years is just hilarious

 

[sarcasm]I don’t remember Sosa throwing the collector under the bus. *ducks[/sarcasm]

 

Yea he only lied under oath and acted like he couldn't speak English, haha. Apologies if I'm mixing him up with someone else.

[LouisEly]

Recency Effect and Anchoring - two common biases that people have.

[pacopete4]

Lot's of hot takes on Santana here. It was one at bat where the pitcher made some good pitches. Probably can hold off on crucifying him. I think he will end up having some big hits for us this September.

[wildcat83]

Heck of a start from Davies. Only 5 innings but kept us in it.

and that is my point... Differing opinions is kinda what makes the world go round.

 

What you see as the big picture is not always the same as what others see as the big picture. It is kind of condescending to suggest that your big picture is more accurate than other's big picture.

 

By the way, I agree with you on Davies. If he pitches like he did last year, we just got better. I have no ill will against the guy.

 

I just find it odd that so many judge other's viewpoints as incorrect because they don't line up with their own.

[LouisEly]

That 5th pitch was closer than some of the strikes that Hamels got.

I sure hope so. Tons of talent there. I think he just needs to get out of his own head. I've hated his approach all season.

[wildcat83]

So now the ump tightened the zone? Seems like their crying has paid off.

[TURBO]

Heck of a start from Davies. Only 5 innings but kept us in it.

 

Only went 5, but could have probably gone more... I'm fine with pulling him, but why not put him out there for the 6th until he allows a baserunner? Too early to pinch hit him imo when he was cruising along just fine.

[pacopete4]

The real question is, has Braun made enough starts in left field to collect his gold glove?
