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

[Fear The Chorizo]

Yikes, that's a quick hook IMO considering game situation.

[OldSchoolSnapper]

I think we lose this game because Counsell will be too scared to use good relievers in a tie or close deficit game...just my thoughts.

 

Cedeno and Soria up. Both are good.

 

Compared to Knebel, Hader, Jeffress?

 

They said Hader is very unlikely to pitch unless we have a lead.

This pen is top notch. Way more than three guys deep. Can throw Burnes, Woodruff and even Guerra into the mix as guys who have thrown great lately.

[yfinn6]

Great outing, Chacin.

[bigredrobbo]

These ESPN guys are morons.

 

BA and Rock are Vin Scully on steroids, by comparison.

[wildcat83]

Huge swing inning for Chacin. Counsell pretty much stuck riding him here with the possibility of tomorrow looming.

 

Lead off walks are not ideal....

 

Absolutely not, I'd expect Cedeno to face Murphy after this AB barring a GIDP.

 

I get the change now, but not to start the inning was what I was referring to.

And by scared you mean smart? There is no reason to be going to your best guys in this game when it is tied.

[MoreTrife]

Stress level is getting high.

 

Yeah my head hurts already.

[OldSchoolSnapper]

Yikes, that's a quick hook IMO considering game situation.

 

I think it's the right call. You should be able to bridge 3 1/3 with the pen but you have to score. That's on the offense, not the hook. He was starting to really labor anyway.

[buckybrewer232]

Outstanding outing by Chacin.

 

Knew Braun was going be key hitting behind Yelich today, and he has failed miserably so far. Someone is going to need to come up with a big hit other than Yelich.

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

Can't complain about 6 2/3 innings of one-run ball from Chacin. He was great. The offense and bullpen need to do it now!

 

5 2/3, but your point is still spot on

[Cool Hand Lucroy]

I mean, Hader has also struggled lately....

 

Cedeno needs to get Murphy. Then you can send Shaw and Moose up and get Maddon to burn Chavez...

[brewcrewdue80]

These ESPN guys are morons.

 

It's clear homerism towards the Cubs. These guys have probably broadcasted at least 20 games for the Cubs this year and only 1 for the Brewers....vs the Cubs.

IDK, think they've been pretty even-handed. Lots of love for us.

Trot Burnes out for 2 innings after Cedeno and hope we can get lead at some point.

[topper09er]

Yikes, that's a quick hook IMO considering game situation.

 

3rd time through the lineup coming, and with the lefty Murphy I think this is the right move

[Greenleaf1]

If Cedeno can get out of the 6th, you've got Soria for the 7th, Knebel 8th, Jeffress 9th without using Hader...

I could have understood either decision. We have plenty of relievers to get the remaining outs. As long as nobody cracks 25 pitches, the pen will be fine for tomorrow.

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

Ugh Cedeno ... you had one job.

Darn faulty math!

[adambr2]

Well that's not good.

[MrTPlush]

All I am saying is the team that wants to risk more to win today might just win. We will see how Counsell attacks things.

[TURBO]

Ugh Cedeno ... you had one job.

 

*shaking head*

[wildcat83]

MY GOD, why can our lefties not get lefties out???????

 

Cedeno been far better than any other option not named Hader, but boy have we been burnt lefty/lefty this year.
