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

[yourout]

It's got to be tough to Zone in on this guy

[82brewcrew82]

Aguilar has to be thanking Shaw right now. Aguilar is still a trash can but it’s overlooked because fans can only focus on how terrible one player is at a time.

 

This is true--but Aguilar actually looks competent most of the time. Has an excellent 2 strike approach. Shaw hasn't hit a ball hard since April--and he was hitting poorly then too.

Hmmm. Determining the shortest midget is always a difficult task.

[Brew crew 92]

The crew going threw the motions at bat. Worst ever.

[Oxy]

WP Kinsella could write a novel about this game.

[yfinn6]

Travis Shaw might as well not even have a bat.

[phnxcrew]

We sure are helping Chatwood's stats look better!

[young guns]

It's tough watching Chatswood be so wild and then get borderline calls.

 

The good news is that we haven't grounded into a do in 3 innings. Baby steps.

[trwi7]

I made a sort of in jest joke about Travis Shaw being a left handed Casey McGehee on another board a week or two ago. But damn does it seem like that's what he is right now. Not highly touted had a couple of good years and then just fell off a cliff.

[treego14]

Let’s play 15!

 

[sarcasm]Ernie Banks demands 135 inning game.[/sarcasm]

Clever!

WP Kinsella could write a novel about this game.

 

Dead baseball players hit better than this.

[Brew crew 92]

Giving chatwood more confidence than he deserves.

[jjfanec]

That first pitch to Baez was one you called a strike quite a few times on Brewers hitter ump. That is why the Brewers said something

[yfinn6]

He should've been struck out.

[yourout]

Well that was about as bad of a 1-2 pitch you can throw

[adambr2]

That will happen eventually when your offense pisses around for 15 innings.

[treego14]

Well, that’s all folks!

[trwi7]

We went 4-43

[Oxy]

Pffft.

[82brewcrew82]

Yeah, that would've been fine in the ninth. Do we all get to feel over crushed now because we lost a huge game?

[pacopete4]

Good ball game. Stinks to take a loss but Burch did a great job at giving us many opportunities to win this one. On to tomorrow!

[brewcrewdue80]

1 hit in 8innings off of the Cubs Bullpen.

[ClosetBrewerFan]

Too bad for Burch. He pitched well. I imagine this means he will be optioned to allow us to bring up a fresh arm tomorrow. He will be back though.

[adambr2]

Yeah, that would've been fine in the ninth. Do we all get to feel over crushed now because we lost a huge game?

 

Would you really have felt that much better about it if it had happened in 9 instead of 15?

[82brewcrew82]

Yeah, that would've been fine in the ninth. Do we all get to feel over crushed now because we lost a huge game?

 

Would you really have felt that much better about it if it had happened in 9 instead of 15?

Knowing we had a relatively rested pen, including Hader, ready to go for tomorrow, yes I would have.

[wildcat2237]

Putrid effort at the plate.

 

I would think Hiura will be up soon to play 2B, Moustakas shifts to 3B. Then just need to figure out 1B.

 

After what Aguilar has done the last two seasons it would be really really tuff to DFA him. However, you need more production out of 1B if you want ot win the division and compete for the World Series.
