2018-09-10: Brewers (Miley) at Cubs (Lester) 7:05 PM CDT [Brewers win, 3-2; Hader dominates over 2 IP, & JJ slams the door]

[B-Train]

Lester suffering from all the plane rides the poor little tired baby bears have had to endure.

[HarveysWBs]

So Maddon wasted Schwarbs right??

 

He gone

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

So Maddon wasted Schwarbs right??

 

Yep, once you are announced, you are considered "used". Bote technically pinch hit for Schwarber.

[wallus]

Hader looks fired up.

[KeithStone53151]

Lol at Maddon. And I generally agree with those annoyed with AGuilar. I've been saying for a couple weeks now that he doesn't look right. I generally agree that he could use a few consecutive days off, I think he's whooped. I hope when the string of lefties ends that Thames gets a bunch of time starting at 1b. I could get on board with 3 or 4 straight days of nothing for Aguilar.

[tmwiese55]

If Braun could play first, this lineup would be better with Granderson.

 

Braun CAN play 1st...

 

I should have put the word well in there. If he could play first well. He had some pretty shaky moments in his last few outings there. Wonder how much time he’s spent working at that position but right now it’d be ideal to get Granderson’s bat in there.

 

True but it's not like Jesus is really too mobile over there himself and has had some miscues of late on D. Great point on how much Braun has practiced ith though since Jesus became a regular

[bigredrobbo]

Hader's pitching like someone stole his skateboard!

[Fear The Chorizo]

Gameday tends to be wrong about these sort of things, but if Schwarber was burned for a Bote AB in the 7th inning of this game, that's just horrible managing right there.

 

Can anyone watching live confirm that actually just happened?

[HarveysWBs]

My goodness. A tour de force

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

Josh Hader making the Cubs look like little leaguers.

[bigredrobbo]

Just filth!

[Jenkins5]

Hader.... bringing it tonight! Cubs hitters had no chance

[pacopete4]

It’s hitting the mit and Murphy is starting to swing.

Yep. Give him some rest into stretch run. This has to be by far most games he's ever played.

[Bulldogboy]

Oooo weee. Hader not playing tonight.

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

I should have included Hader in the "young power pitcher" list LOL. Easy 97 tonight.

It happened, over managing at its finest! CC won that battle

Sounds like my 9-year old. Such a cute little scamp.

[TooLiveBrew]

I want to see a cage deathmatch between Sol's 'The Only Commercial We Budgeted For This Season' & the Feldco 'BOGO Windows' spot.

 

Hate. So much hate for both of those.

[wildcat83]

Got home just in time to watch Hader strike out the side. Thing of beauty

[jjfanec]

Everyone knew hader was coming in that inning. Maddon wasting Schwarber makes no sense. Just a terrible move. I don't know their bench a ton but who is left on there besides Happ for quality bats

I now wouldn’t try Sol even if it tasted like honey and unicorn tears. Just on general principle

[Jenkins5]

Lefty, cross delivery, throwing 97.... that deception looks like 100+! Literally up in zone, hitters are just starting bat as it passes them

La Stella is always a tough out as a PH, too. Caratini. They still have some options, but assuming Jeffress pitches the 9th Schwarber would've looked alot better with a bat later this game...

They could have taken 5% of what they spent for the colorful dancey spot, & just made another spot using construction paper & handwritten notes, & I wouldn't hate them. Just bring me something that's not the same over & over & over
