2018-09-12: Brewers (Anderson) at Cubs (Hendricks) 7:05 PM CDT [Brewers win, 5-1 -- Granderson 3-for-4 including 3B, HR]

[FVBrewerFan]

Easy decision now. It was already. Asking BP to go 6 innings is just asking for a reliever or two to have a bad night.

[KeithStone53151]

Not THAT great of a catch, but no way Thames or Braun make it.

Braun might. He's made quite a few nice catches lately, and he'd probably be positioned different from Granderson.

 

This one is primarily about speed. I believe Braun gets there for sure. Even Perez might get there as he's fairly fast. Yelich/Cain/Broxton obviously get there. It was a good play but let's not get too carried away.

Pina needs stick em.

Braun in RF? He probably would have been looking up clueless. Braun was awful out there.

[brewcrewdue80]

Haven't the Cubs had 2 games cancelled due to rain? Feel its overblown this "stretch" they are on as they didnt have to play 9innings every day.

[KeithStone53151]

I think after this inning, probably go to a PH. I also forgot that Peralta will be available for an inning or two if needed. There is no shortage of options and no reason to save anyone for tomorrow.

I'll give you that, he might. Hes much better going to his right. Hey, I just made a rhyme. Right on time.

[AKCheesehead]

Yeah but...although I'm not able to watch, gamecast doesn't have Chase seeming too sharp. Might be a good day to get him out of there while we still lead it. If he gets through the 4th I probably don't have him lead off the top of 5th. Then again, what do I know.

[ThisIsMyCrew]

When do they post times of games for playoffs? All I see is which days.

[MoreTrife]

Why can't he throw a first pitch strike? For cripes sake

[PinaMadness]

Chase and CC are playing with fire. Please get through this inning unscathed and let the pen go five.

Probably not until the last day of the season. If not after.

[wildcat83]

Anderson walking a tight rope all night. As long as he has a zero up let him go 5, but after that I turn it over to the pen.

Yea, they wait till match ups are set, or at least home teams. Location of games makes a difference.

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

Great inning from Chase there! I bet he bats for himself.

[FVBrewerFan]

Chase and CC are playing with fire. Please get through this inning unscathed and let the pen go five.

 

Or just let him keep rolling with a shutout.

[pacopete4]

Anderson’s shutting down one of the better offenses in baseball. Keep it up!

[wildcat83]

Don't think he gets the hook with a zero up yet.

[buckybrewer232]

Let Chase start the 5th but have Cedeno or Jennings getting ready for the lefties and Zobrist.

[brewcrewdue80]

I'd stay with Chase now til he gave up that solo HR or 100pitches. Hes been locating much better the last 5outs

Depends which ones are Yankees and which ones are worthless non prime time teams like us

[PinaMadness]

Let him go one more inning, but he should not see Rizzo.

 

NM, Saladino up.

I think TV and ratings dictate a lot too. Like the NCAA tournament.

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

Yup, lots of good hitters in that lineup. They are going to hit balls hard regardless of who's on the mound.

 

Wow, Saladino pinch hitting. This will be interesting. Pen better be up to the challenge.

[topper09er]

Applause to CC for making this change
