2018-10-01 (Game 163): Brewers (Chacín) at Cubs (Quintana) 12:05 PM CDT [Brewers win 3-1; 2018 NL Central Champs!]

1 run isn't going to likely win this. Got to start cashing more of these in.

 

The Cubs are getting pretty close to a date with out pen. If Chacin get through 5 or 6 scoreless the pen could easily make it a one run game.

[phnxcrew]

Both teams swinging for the stars. Cain's usually so good in that spot

[dlk9s]

I mentioned it yesterday but Cain is headed in the wrong direction all of a sudden. Need him to start going again.

 

His first to ground outs were really nice hits. One just was right at Baez and the other one looked like a base hit, but Baez got to it.

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

Well crap ...

[MrTPlush]

Welp

[adambr2]

And that's why you have to start cashing in more of these scoring opportunities.

[OldSchoolSnapper]

You kinda knew that was coming sooner or later the way the ball if flying. Nobody on, let's recover here.

[dlk9s]

That was a batting practice fastball.

[yfinn6]

Chacin couldn't have put it in a better spot for Rizzo.

[Fear The Chorizo]

that's why I was thrilled Baez swung 3-0 last inning...Rizzo is the guy you don't pitch to right now

[IntentionalHBP]

I’m going to need a defibrillator this postseason.

[OldSchoolSnapper]

Curtain call? Really?

Isn't the wind blowing in?

So careful to Baez, then a meatball to Rizzo. I get it you can't nibble on everyone, but Rizzo is the one guy hitting well for them right now it seems.

[jerichoholicninja]

Curtain call? Really?

 

Cubs fans are just happy to be outside. They have little clue as to what's actually going on in front of them.

[dlk9s]

Curtain call? Really?

Hey, when you break up a no-hitter and score one run in the 5th, you need to greet your fans.

[OldSchoolSnapper]

Isn't the wind blowing in?

 

I mean the kinda of contact we're seeing mixed with the power of the lineup. At some point I felt at least one was gonna be jacked out. Let's hope it's just one.

There could have been hurricane force winds blowing in, and that would have left the yard. That was jacked.

[bigredrobbo]

Woke up the sloths, apparently. Come on Crew, shut 'em up again!

[Fear The Chorizo]

awesome pitch there

[dlk9s]

"I love what Maddon is doing here."

 

What's he doing? Letting his hitters hit and try to score runs?

[dlk9s]

God, this talk about why Counsell didn't go to the bullpen is ridiculous. Chacin has pitched great. He had a no-hitter until that one pitch.

[KeithStone53151]

"I love what Maddon is doing here."

 

What's he doing? Letting his hitters hit and try to score runs?

 

Hahahaha right...that dude literally has done nothing. He made zero decisions, none have presented themselves yet.

[Fear The Chorizo]

OMG Ravich, shut up about pulling Chacin before this inning - that is absurd

[bigredrobbo]

Chacin gets through 5 with only 1 run given, I'm calling that a win. ANYTHING else is sprinkles on the sundae.
