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

[Brew crew 92]

Why do we continue to question CC and his pen decisions? The guy is unreal, can’t remember a bad decision he’s made all year.

[ThisIsMyCrew]

Shaw is just unplayable right now.

 

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

 

He does have two options. And he was quoted as being open to “anything.”

[Brew crew 92]

Umpire calling a great game today. Anything close to the edges a strike. That’s how we get the games to move along.

The IGT's would be almost barren if we didn't question managerial decisions. But yes, CC is the best in-game manager in baseball, it's hard to justify questioning his moves.

I prolly woulda just gone Hader to finish it here, but Rizzo has had success against Hader if I recall...

[adambr2]

Claudio had one job and he does that.

[yourout]

It was damn near a strike.

[topper09er]

At least CC has finally figured out not to use Claudio against righties

[phnxcrew]

It was damn near a strike.

 

It gets annoying how they will never call intentionally leaning into a pitch. I feel like that's every couple games at this point.

[jjfanec]

A lot to ask of Burnes to get Baez two days a row in high leverage spots.

There is actually a rule on the books where they do have to make an effort to get out of the way to be awarded the base, but it's obviously never actually enforced, like a lane violation in the NBA.

That is one case where with 95mph gas from Hader..Rizzo would might not have been so happy to stick his elbow into it.

Good point, I doubt anyone cares about getting hit by a Claudio pitch.

[Brew crew 92]

Keep throwing the slider in the dirt

[Oxy]

Baez is not a *professional hitterTM

[82brewcrew82]

A lot to ask of Burnes to get Baez two days a row in high leverage spots.

Mr. Burnes politely asks that you hold his beer.

[adambr2]

Burnes continues to impress as a reliever. It's night and day.

[Brew crew 92]

Baez terrible plate discipline, worst ever for a productive hitter.

[jjfanec]

I know stats say Javy is a great hitter but if a guy can throw a slider it seems like Javy will swing at it no matter where it is in the zone

Haha. I am a huge Burnes fan so I would gladly do that!

[LouisEly]

Fixed.

[brooks_quichenick]

Going to have nightmares about grounding into double plays tonight

[ecjimg]

Every time I see Kinzler pitch against us I think of the post on here that someone wrote when we beat him at the end of last year. Something like “well done agent Kinzler, you may return home”. Classic

[adambr2]

Another double play. Unbelievable.

[jjfanec]

That double play was too predictable. I am almost surprised the Cubs are even possible thing to yelich here even with how he has struggled today
