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

[HarveysWBs]

Dang it... that hurts

[dlk9s]

Those offspeed pitches from Cishek were pretty sick.

[phnxcrew]

Sit Aguilar for a week. He looks completely done

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

Nice pitch to get Aguilar there. Great break on it. Rough for Aguilar.

[Eye Black]

Jesus has to put a bat on one of those pitches. That was disappointing to say the least.

[shanedog19]

Jesus is really scuffling right now.

[tmwiese55]

With Jesus struggling, and self proclaiming he needed some mental time off, is this a good time to use him?

 

Just saying...

 

Yea maybe I'm stuck in history, but I go Braun there. Just has so much more experience and he's so good going the other way with Chisek's stuff that almost requires you go opposite field. Nothing too get worked up about though.

[82brewcrew82]

I hate sleestack!

 

Hate watching him pitch.

 

Despise his praying mantis style.

 

Cubs just pitching same guys day after day after day!!

 

That pen is getting gassed. Pitching the same 4-5 guys every game.

Doesn't look gassed to me.

[TURBO]

No way was Jesus getting a hit there...Leave him on the bench to gather himself. If someone says they need a day off for mental reasons, don't use them in a high leverage at bat, with the game on the line.

 

That was just not smart.

[shanedog19]

Looks like we are going to have to win this 2-1, just can't get a hit with RISP.

[adambr2]

And again, can't come up with the big hit.

 

Counsell may need to start thinking about mixing up his lineups a little more. Yesterday we didn't have a single worthwhile righty off the bench. Today, not a single worthwhile lefty. Maddon is killing Counsell on late matchups this series.

[buckybrewer232]

Add me in the group scratching my head that CC went with Agui over Braun there..

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

Doesn't look gassed to me.

 

Brewers lineup tends to make even tired pitchers look good at times.

 

Maybe it was more wishful thinking.

[HarveysWBs]

No way was Jesus getting a hit there...Leave him on the bench to gather himself. If someone says they need a day off for mental reasons, don't sue them in a high leverage at bat, with the game on the line.

 

That was just not smart.

 

[sarcasm]I’m sure we all know Aguilar’s mental state better than the guy who spends 8+ hours a day with him for half the year...[/sarcasm]

[brewcrewdue80]

Aggie since he didnt need that mental time off should have batted for Thames the AB vs the lefty

[Bigblast]

Haaaaaaaaaaddddddeeeeeeeeer!!

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

Hader slinging it at 98! This is fun!

[dlk9s]

Bryant looked worse against Hader than he did against Greg Maddux.

Well, again, he asked for the day off because he was mentally in need of a day off. Is that the best time to use him in that situation Mr. Snarkypants?

[PinaMadness]

Heck, if Hader is pitching like this again, give him the ninth too.

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

Wow Hader! He is throwing mad right now.

I agree, especially with Braun standing there. I get using Jesus in extras or something but there were other options

[tmwiese55]

Well I'm sure even with him saying that I'm sure he fully expected to PH if needed. He's not over there shaking or something

[TURBO]

ok, forget it...

[topper09er]

I think Hader is pissed the Cubs got to him last series and has made it his mission to own them. O wait sorry everything in baseball is just a series of coin flips, there is no such thing as being dialed in. My mistake
