2018-10-05 (NLDS Game #2): Rockies (Anderson) at Brewers (Chacín) 3:15 PM CDT [Brewers win, 4-0]

Got out of Inning 1 unscathed.

 

Let’s see the offense provide an early big lead tonight.

 

Seconded

[HarveysWBs]

Chacín looks a bit shaky, so we need the bats early and often tonight, boys. Let’s go!

[Cool Hand Lucroy]

Chacin just makes me think of Nibbler from Futurama. Maybe that is why I love him.

[jerichoholicninja]

Cain has not been good the last few weeks.

[lcbj68c]

Cain looks lost the past week or so.

[Cool Hand Lucroy]

AJ Pierzynski is everything that is wrong with ex-player announcers(not to say all are bad--he exemplifies their worst qualities).

[True Blue Brew Crew]

That bullet Cain hit to beat the Cubs on Monday gets forgotten quickly. He's spoiled some people here.

[dlk9s]

Aside from power, Cain's September numbers show that he has been good.

[jerichoholicninja]

I don't watch a lot of national broadcast of any baseball games. Do the announcers generally spend the whole game arguing about "new school" vs "old school"? The ESPN guys were pretty annoying during the tiebreaker game and these guys are getting close.

Sheesh Braun. Pitch was at head height.

Numbers lie. The eye test clearly shows he hasn't been the same for two or three weeks.

Not in my experience. AJ has a pretty big chip on his shoulder if you ask me...

Ya, I had to check and his overall September numbers don't look bad. But the last 15 games of the year he put up a .652 OPS with one extra base hit.

Got a bad feeling Chacin will survive by the skin of his teeth for a couple innings and then implode too soon for them to have someone ready. I love the playoff plan overall but I'm not sure how many times Chacin has ever pitched on 3 days rest and I don't think this is a good time to find out how well he can handle it.

[adambr2]

Game doesn't have a great feel to it so far, but that could change quickly.

Numbers as in him consistently producing hits and walks?

AJ has always been a turd in the punch bowl...

 

Sort of his way or you won’t hear the end of it. Baseball has evolved . Seems as though David Cone has accepted it and he played even more of his games in earlier years, and it’s almost like he just had shut up and let AJ keep on with some of his rants. It’s funny lol.

Not forgotten. Not spoiled. Just too small of a sample (1), amongst the week(s) several are referencing.

[MoreTrife]

CHacin is inviting a lot of trouble by not throwing strikes.

[Cool Hand Lucroy]

This is the part of the order you have to get through cleanly.

It sure does seem like a theme this postseason...

 

also, Chacin has got to start batters off with strikes to keep his pitch count in a range where he can go 5-6 innings today.

He's been the worst for sure. I'm sure the producers probably put it in his ear to talk down anything new because you can't have discussions in media anymore. It has to be I'm right and you're wrong and I'm going to put down anything I disagree with.

[True Blue Brew Crew]

Lol, pessimism runs deep here. I do understand why. I also understand that the vast majority of this team is made up of new faces, players and management alike.

[adambr2]

That was exaxtly the inning Chacin needed.

[Cool Hand Lucroy]

Much better, Nibbler!
