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

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

Jacob Barnes does not have my faith in this situation. Oof!

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

LOL, well, that will work.

[trwi7]

If people want to complain about putting Barns in here...I think I can get behind that. Never have been a fan of Barns

 

Are you saying Barnes or Boo-arnes?

[ReverendBrewmeister]

Two outs the loud way.

[hurricanecrush]

I knew Barnes had it all the way lol

[young guns]

I actually don't love this move...if he doesn't get Bryant then he has to face Schwarber, and I don't like that matchup at all.

I don't know I'm feeling confident about it.

Jacob Barnes is a lesson in "Just because you can hit 100, does not mean you will find success as an MLB pitcher."

CC looks like a Wizard. Little do we all know, Yuni B was secretly signed to the active roster and will be unleashed in the 9th inning with 2 outs.

Barns and Burns both spell their name wrong.

I can't stand Schoop...he's like a bad version of Byron Buxton or Arcia at the plate. What an awful trade that was.

I'm trying to keep faith that he will get hot, but every lost at-bat makes it harder. He's actually been pretty decent the last week or so, but he doesn't put together very good at-bats.

Last 28 days: .278/.344/.500/.844

[KeithStone53151]

So in the 9th, if the Cubs go with Schoop...I assume we would definitely see Thames/Shaw/Yelich in some order right?

[ThisIsMyCrew]

Appears no one wants to take the NL East. Phillies and Braves both have been struggling.

I'm trying as well, but I just am getting angrier and angrier just at the sight of him. Quickly turning into a Suppan type figure for me.

I think people were expecting schoop to continue his al player of the week hot streak at the time he was traded for two solid months. Otherwise it's apparently a franchise killing trade for some.

[phnxcrew]

Counsell being Counsell here again. I guess there’s no way we can score two and tie

I really hope the Cubs go with Schoop in the 9th. A Brewers position player pitching to Brewers position players? Just tell him to throw 24 straight balls.

Hahaha, Strop*****

Yeah, solid numbers. Still, I totally get the frustration. I think it's because he puts some horrible ABs on tape. A certain former Brewer (now Oriole) 2B did the same thing, angering fans.

 

Personally, I really want Schoop to be good, and I want to see him back next year. There is no way Hiura is gonna be ready to start 2019.

[adambr2]

Schoop is 11 for his last 33 with 3 HR and 10 RBI in that span. He got off to a slow start here for sure and the criticism was warranted then but it sure is getting over the top now.

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

Counsell being Counsell here again. I guess there’s no way we can score two and tie

 

So if the move backfires, it's all Counsell's fault, but if it works, it's in spite of him?

 

I give Barnes credit for pitching well tonight. Seems like it's been a long time since he put in a good outing.

[Fear The Chorizo]

Well, let's see if the brewers can deliver an unexpected thrill right here

[wallus]

Who will be the first poster to complain about Strop's hat?
