2019-09-01: Brewers (Gonzalez) at Cubs (Darvish scratched - Chatwood) [Brewers win, 4-0 -- Yelich hits HR #42 off Kimbrel in 9th]

Albers is back to being junk lately.

[PinaMadness]

Watch what a real playoff contender does with two on and zero out.

[trwi7]

Normally I'm 100% against sacrifice bunts but the Cubs would be smart to do it here.

[PinaMadness]

Claudio making his 329th appearance on the year.

But probably should've done a better one than that.

[adambr2]

Man what a job by Claudio.

[PinaMadness]

Wow that looked foul to me.

[HarveysWBs]

Huge infield defense. Absolutely pivotal. Nice job, boys.

I agree on all counts. And as we see, there's false assumptions people make on sac bunt (just bunt him over!) Well, it doesn't always work.

[PinaMadness]

Open mouth, insert foot. I'll gladly take my medicine on that one.

This aged beautifully LOL

 

 

The Cubs are kinda proving that they are just as much of a playoff contender as the Brewers.

[markedman5]

Say what you want about Shaw's offense......and its well deserved......but that guy is solid as rock at 3rd......nice turn by Spangenberg too

[markedman5]

Grandal can't get tossed there

I never would have thought it this year, but it sure looks like the Cardinals are going to run away with the division. Gotta give a lot of credit to Shildt. Imagine how good they'd be if Goldschmidt was half the player they thought they were getting.

[HarveysWBs]

Whoa, quick hook there, ump show. Somebody is a little insecure!

[trwi7]

Granda whines a lot.

[markedman5]

13 ks with 1 out in the 7th? Good god.....

[adambr2]

Unless Grandal said a magic word, that was a pretty weak hook by Timmons.

 

Made weirder by the fact that he gave Counsell plenty of leeway.

Why not? That just means Pina's in the game.

[BruisedCrew]

Grisham has a lot of nice intangibles that tell me he very well may be a good player one day. He's looking overmatched lately, though.

 

In other words you don’t think he’s a candidate yet for a 6 year extension?

[wildcat83]

That’s a horrible ejection. He dropped his bat, but never said a word. Timmons needs to check the ego.

[markedman5]

As a fan I'm not complaining about these.......too close to take

 

[pacopete4]

“You can’t do that to me” is the lamest crap an umpire can say. Tell Grandal to go sit down and go back to umpiring the game you clown.

[BruisedCrew]

I picked up Darvish yesterday as a FA yesterday for my fantasy team figuring he would get a lot of K’s against the Brewers. He probably would have had 13 in 5 innings.

[HarveysWBs]

Way to hustle, Thames. Make it hurt, Gamel!
