2019-04-05: Cubs (Quintana) at Brewers (Woodruff) [Brewers win, 13-10 -- Brewers tee off on Quintana early en route to tallying 15 hits and 5 HRs in slugfest]

[TURBO]

Baez is a punk. Sit down punk!

[MadScientist]

I don’t want to jinx it, but Jordan Baker has been very consistent (and seemingly accurate) with his strike zone so far tonight.

 

One of my personal favorites, Jerry Layne, the umpire at 2B tonight.

 

Complimenting the refs/umps by name in game?!?! This gets the prize for game thread post originality. I don't think it's going to catch on.

Should we start a thread critiquing the home plate umpire every game?

Isn't that called the game day thread.

[xisxisxis]

Keep being classy Baez....

[homer]

If this game was at Wrigley they'd call it a rain out.

[Underachiever]

I’m in the 300-level club seats.

 

Whoa, look at Mr. Fancy Pants.

Thank you for picking up on the humble brag.

[Montezuma]

Yard Perez... Way to go Brewers

[topper09er]

Perez scoffs at an 0-2 count, every pitch is the same for him

[trwi7]

Getting so many At Bat notifications.

Should we start a thread critiquing the home plate umpire every game?

What? And cut the In-Game Thread in half?

LOL, but this would be a good way of keeping track of who the good umpires are and the ones who are gutter trash. Obviously West and Hernandez will be immediately be grandfathered into the latter. And now I'm thinking Kulpa may be too.

[trwi7]

Getting so many At Bat notifications.

 

Another one lmao

[young guns]

Well, we are certainly exercising the Quintana demons.

[MrTPlush]

Cannot believe Yelich took the 2-0 pitch all the way. That was an obvious fastball pitch coming and he just watched it down the pipe.

Should have been majorly aggressive on the pitch.

 

Most of the time I want him swinging there too, but lefty vs. lefty against a guy who cant find the zone (walked the last 2 (including the pitcher)) with Braun on deck (vs the lefty). Yelich is an MVP for a reason. Take all the way in that situation. Braun showed why.

 

Yelich had even splits last year and Braun can’t hold a candle stick to him at this point in his career. Yelich should have been sitting fastball and waiting.

 

Thankfully it didn’t matter.

[markedman5]

Boom....'.Boom!

[Zad Fnark]

I lost count of the runs.

[DuWayne Steurer]

Perez hit that homer off his front foot.

[MrTPlush]

Man sad day for Cubs fans. They probably thought today Quintana was going to save the day and twirl a gem against us.

 

Instead he is getting taken to the cleaners. Summing up their entire season so far.

[Montezuma]

I am suspecting the Cubs bullpen is already overwork. So Quintana is going to be used for more than 4 innings...

[PinaMadness]

Odds Maddon uses a position player to pitch tonight?

[MadScientist]

I really hope this won't be another 1 run game.

[young guns]

I lost count of the runs.

[MrTPlush]

Take the poor guy out already.

[SeaBass]

I'm down for hanging double digits on the Cubs tonight.

[trwi7]

You know it's not your night when you walk Arcia and get to a 3 ball count on Perez. Oh and give up 3 homers too.

[xisxisxis]

So much for that +3 run differential!

[MrTPlush]

He can’t even get the pitcher out. HE LITERALLY CANT GET THE PITCHER OUT.

 

“Arcia and the pitcher is an easy way out of the inning to stop the bleeding.”

 

Quintana: Hold my beer.
