2019-07-28: Cubs (Quintana) at Brewers (Davies) [Brewers lose, 11-4]

[OldSchoolSnapper]

4 seems a little harsh for Davies. He doesn't blow anyone away but he's been a pretty productive SP for a while. I would say he's a solid 3 on a decent team, and can pass as a Great Value 2 when he's playing well.

[homer]

The early lead will just make it that much sweeter when their bullpen blows it.

 

Doubling down on this one

[adambr2]

Well, Davies quickly put this one from "let's see if we can get back in this" to "well, at least we took 2 out of 3." Thanks for the gem, Zach.

[PinaMadness]

See you next time. Screw you Schwarber.

[TJseven7]

89 mphs to Schwarber do not work.

[folly412]

Jay Jackson and Taylor Williams trying to hide. This surely means they'll have to enter the game, then that'll cause them to get sent down.

[DuWayne Steurer]

That wasn’t even a strike. Time to turn this one off.

 

Schwarber didn't even take a full swing. That was a three-quarter swing with a little flick of the wrist.

[adambr2]

Walks will kill you. 3 out of the Cubs' 7 runs reached on walks.

 

Don't put guys on for free and this is probably a game.

[TJseven7]

These last 2 games have been a lot of fun but its really hard to have any faith in this team with Woodruff hurt, Davies being what he is, Gio's age, Chacin being toast. Anderson and Davies can be the 3-4 arms, but our 1 or 2 is hurt and we don't have the other one.

 

I hope Stearns has the balls to sell if the right offer is there for Thames Grandal or Moose.

[BruisedCrew]

At least Schwarber can only hit a 3 run HR this time.

 

Which he proceeded to do.

 

Now time to face the harsh reality that the Brewers have no starting pitchers for Tuesday and Wednesday against the A’s.

[Bulldogboy]

This is why it's going to be tuff for the crew to make it. You can't get any real momentum when your next days starting pitcher is below average guy who can get lit. Going to be hard to reel off 5-7 in a row from here on out.

[OldSchoolSnapper]

Picked up a game on CHC. Hope for an STL loss. Brewers sit one back of both with more games played. Still July. Things don't look great with the injured pitchers, but I guess we're staying it for now? The Cubs schedule this week is STL and us. So there is going to be more movement one way or the other, most likely.

[mtsportsfan]

Just turned the game on. Yikes ! Oh well , sweep would have been nice. Still early though.

That’s two completely trash games in a row. Even chacin is pitching better

 

 

Slightly.

[DuWayne Steurer]

Pitch count is still in good shape! :D

[xisxisxis]

This is probably my fault as I started Davies on several of my Fantasy Baseball teams. If I left him on the bench he probably would have thrown a perfect game...

[TJseven7]

Pitch count is still in good shape! :D

 

At least he's not killing the pen.

[DuWayne Steurer]

Joking aside, I'd send him back out there for the 6th

I still remember the first time I ever heard the Brewers come back from 7-0. It was early 90s sometime I think against the then California Angels. I was 8 or 9 and listened to it all on the radio. I want to say they scored something like 11 in one inning. I want to say someone hit a grand slam, maybe Darryl Hamilton and they ended up winning 20-7.

[TJseven7]

No way Saladino does it again, right?

[mtsportsfan]

Arcia . Nice at bat. Couple of swings were weak. I'll take a walk there , best we could hope for out if him.

[DuWayne Steurer]

No way Saladino does it again, right?

 

I'd say there's no way he doesn't

[adambr2]

No way was the correct answer.

[mtsportsfan]

Knew it was trouble when he let the curveball right down the middle go. Bummer.

[adambr2]

Have to find a way to at least get 3 or so this inning if you're serious about getting back in the game.
