2019-04-07: Cubs (Hendricks) at Brewers (Davies) [Brewers win, 4-2 -- Hader retires 8 straight for a save on his birthday]

[BruisedCrew]

The Brewers are going to pay for all of those missed scoring chances.

[Harold Hutchison]

Will Hader go two?

 

Hopefully with all the rest, might even need to bring him in next inning if we get into trouble

 

Well, they sent Chatwood out for another inning... so maybe the Crew tees up and gets a bigger lead.

[Zad Fnark]

Lol... Madden going for the lefty matchup. He doesn't realize Yelich was like 4th in the league Vs lefties.

[RollieTime]

Forgot the blue...

I doubt he forgot the blue and considering your agenda this is nothing but a troll post.

 

Clancy isn’t trying to troll at all... Gotta pour it on the real troll here...

[PinaMadness]

Here we go.

[TURBO]

Claudio pouring on the ineffectiveness...

[Eye Black]

I’m pretty sure I’d rather have Hader’s bullpen tosses over what Claudio is throwing right now.

[PinaMadness]

Wow, 2.2 from Hader? Thanks Claudio.

[Fear The Chorizo]

If Hader can get out of this with the Brewers still in front, I think you give him the 8th, then the 9th is anybody's guess.

 

Would be nice if the offense can score a few more on their bullpen trainwreck

[mtrebs]

Our bullpen needs some bolstering. Can't only count on Hader. Big miss this offseason by pulling away from our strength and not really replacing anyone.

[MilwaukeeBeers]

Trading a 1st CBP for Claudio was stupid from the get go.

To be fair, they lost their likely closer and a key late inning guy for the season in spring training, and one of their key guys last year is slowly working his way back. You can't sign everyone to put on the roster

You're being more than fair, you're being logical. From what I've been told, the IGTs are not a place for logic.

[Montezuma]

Hader's breaking ball was filthy

[HiAndTight]

I’m pretty sure I’d rather have Hader’s bullpen tosses over what Claudio is throwing right now.

 

 

It's just hard to trust a guy who throws 6 pitches in an AB and can't crack 85 with any of them.

[Montezuma]

K.... Happy Birthday Josh

You can hardly fault Stearns for not planning for Knebel and Jeffress going down, but I was in the camp that was hoping we'd add a guy like Ottavino to further bolster the BP in the off-season. It'd have been a luxury move, but a better move IMO than trying to fit Moose in at 2nd base.

 

 

Of course Wahl also went down. Perhaps Stearns thought he was going to be a viable high leverage reliever without spending the money.

Is Orange Vanilla Coke gross? Because it sounds gross.

[HiAndTight]

Certainly not ideal this early in the season, but 7-2 right now feels like stealing a little bit. If you can put the Cubs away and drop them to 2-8.....

Tough on lefties, maybe should stay mostly a Loogy

[yfinn6]

Thames stood no chance there.

[topper09er]

I would be fine if they added more of those sneaky between PA commercials if we could get rid of pitching change commercials.

It can't be any worse than growing up drinking Fizzies.

[BruisedCrew]

The food news is Hader getting Bryant and Rizzo to get out of the seventh. The bad news is there won’t be anyone to get out of the ninth.

 

Need 3 or 4 more runs.

Don't have to face them in the 9th if we don't give them baserunners.
