2018-09-05: Cubs (Quintana) at Brewers (Chacín) 7:10 PM CDT [Brewers lose, 6-4]

[lcbj68c]

Why can't Jennings get lefties out?

[Chicago Here]

Aquilar is gassed. Just watched rizzo hit a routine groundout and stretch into double play. Wow. No steam.

 

But jennings just went in so game over

[yfinn6]

So it's pretty sweet that now we have the pitchers' spot leading off in the bottom half, and Counsell might have to burn another pitcher or have a pitcher lead off and burn an out. Edited September 6, 2018 by yfinn6

Schoop just seems like a guy going through the motion

I get what you're saying, but that was a groundout until the ball reached a Brewer.

[yfinn6]

Shocked that Jennings game up another run.

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

Dan Jennings is not good right now. He needs to go into Matt Albers purgatory.

[lcbj68c]

Clearly under the tag there. Should be safe at home

[mtrebs]

He’s safe. Terrible tag.

[tmwiese55]

Schoop just seems like a guy going through the motion

 

I think he thought it was foul

[MrTPlush]

Haha same old stuff by Counsell. Insists on playing match-up with Jennings, fails, and leaves him in for the righty.

 

You can’t make this stuff up.

How do you over turn this?

[adambr2]

Why does Dan Jennings still play in situations that matter?

[tmwiese55]

I think he was probably under it but I don't know how there is a clear enough angle to know for sure. have to leave it stand, we've seen that too many times this year.

[kybrewerfan]

Jennings had 2 jobs..............and again has failed.

 

Terrible tag but Kratz but don't think you can overturn it

[bucks2281]

How many times do we have to replay this scenario?

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

How do you over turn this?

 

He was probably safe, but no definitive camera angle.

[Bulldogboy]

Jenningsed again!!

[adambr2]

But again, great pitching change Counsell. Only about the 87th straight time that Dan Jennings has burned you.

 

And Kratz caught a big break there.

[dlk9s]

So it's pretty sweet that now we have the pitchers' spot leading off in the bottom half, and Counsell might have to burn another pitcher or have a pitcher lead off and burn an out.

 

There are a million pitchers in the bullpen. I don't think using one is a problem.

He’s a switch hitter.

[MoreTrife]

What a crap tag. Don't get how it was so bad. He was safe but luckily they called him out because the ball beat him by a million miles.

[lcbj68c]

Strikeout would have resulted in no runs anyways. I guess my pessimism should be more specific.

 

Not necc. Passed ball on a strikeout could have resulted in run(s).

[trwi7]

Here comes a 6-1 game.

 

h/t to Cain for making it only 5-1. This would've been a h/t for Schoop had his boner allowed Rizzo to score.

[mtrebs]

They must be following the tradition of if the ball beats you there you are out. I think that’s how it should be, but I’m surprised that wasn’t overturned. Tag better next time Kratz. The throw was fine and there well before the runner got there.
