2019-05-11: Brewers (Davies) at Cubs (Hamels) [Brewers lose, 2-1 in 15 innings]

[Underachiever]

Game winner by Perez. Calling it.

[folly412]

Nice one, Perez. Finally something other than GiDPs.

[brooks_quichenick]

Let’s hit more of them in the air, and far!

[young guns]

Did you think it again? Stop doing that!

Are you sure?

[topper09er]

Looks like our franchise record for GIDP in a 9 inning game is 5, up to 4 already. All-time record is 6 but that was in the White Sox 25 inning game

[Oxy]

I'd think we'll get through the 5th and maybe the 6th and then there could be a long delay.

[young guns]

Cubs fans should pay a little more attention to how they wear their white rain ponchos...

[topper09er]

Come on Grandal

[adambr2]

Unbelievable how you let him score on that.

[brooks_quichenick]

Might’ve been wise to pitch around Almora to force Hamels to beat you.

[DuWayne Steurer]

I know he's not allowed to block the plate but that was just bad defense by grandal.

[Oxy]

Well that makes up for the 1st inning out where the ball arrived at the same time as Heyward. Ball beat Bote by 2 steps and he slid around a slow moving Grandal.

[jjfanec]

Why was grandal so far up there?

[topper09er]

Why was grandal so far up there?

 

And why did he lunge for the runner instead of just putting his glove in front of the plate

[Oxy]

Davies got away with a meatball to Baez there. GIDP are en vogue today.

[ThisIsMyCrew]

Interesting time to pull Davies...bottom of the order up. Let’s go JJ!

[Brew crew 92]

Good test for jeffress here.

Agree... Davies was dealing and there were no splits advantages to making a change and Davies was only at 85 pitches. I thought he'd finish out the inning.

[Oxy]

Good test for jeffress here.

 

He passed with flying colors.

He passed with flying colors.

 

His fastball wasn't down to 93, was it? GASP.

[stoutdude04]

Maybe Shaw shouldn't swing at ball 4.

 

I would have preferred Perez and just give Shaw 3 straight days off.

[brooks_quichenick]

Woof Shaw

[ThisIsMyCrew]

Why did Perez get PH for?

[phnxcrew]

Does Shaw currently have a purpose on the 25 man? Just send him down already

[adambr2]

Shaw is just unplayable right now.

 

I'm to the point where I'm ready to go let him figure it out in AAA.
