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

[markedman5]

Hader it is......I think I'd do this too.....can't lose this one and the chances we have a lead late tomorrow is pretty slim

[adambr2]

I dont get this move at all. Now you lose Hader for the entire Astros series. It's a 4 run lead. You don't call on Hader in a 1 run game in the 8th but you do with a 4 run lead in the 9th?

[adambr2]

Did anyone notice that Timmons made no move to send Happ to 1st until Happ took off himself and then pointed to 1st, like "Oh I guess if you're going it must have hit you."

 

[pacopete4]

My guess is that Hader was already ramped up throwing so they don’t want to sit him down. They might have seen it as he was already lost for tomorrow’s game.

[PinaMadness]

No way that hit him.

[adambr2]

You can't do that to us, Timmons.

[pacopete4]

Happ’s temper tantrum there after striking out was a cherry on top of this game. The ball didnt touch you, dude.

[82brewcrew82]

Still fun beating the Cubs.

[pacopete4]

So Hader threw under 30 pitches combined the last two games. We will seee ya Tuesday when we are headed for a 2-game sweep!

[markedman5]

Only 13 pitches....nicely done Josh.........much maligned bullpen sure did the job today.

[PinaMadness]

Back to back shutouts. Impressive.

[folly412]

Let's give credit where due. Suter has been with the team the past two days.

[Lathund]

Only 13 pitches....nicely done Josh.........much maligned bullpen sure did the job today.

 

If you look at the pitchers currently on the roster, the Brewers relief pitchers were tied for 5th entering today with a 3.49 ERA (13th for FIP, 6th xFIP). That does include the relief innings thrown by Houser which is helping those numbers, but also the relief innings thrown by Anderson which is hurting them. Anyway, point is that the Brewers have used a lot of relief pitchers who have given up a lot of runs, but that the current group has been pretty good.

Agree here.

Counsell even mentioned him by name after yesterday’s game, helping to keep the team loose.

And about to get better imo. Guerra Hader Claudio Pomeranz Jackson Nelson and Peralta are all pitching as good right now as they have all year, albeit Nelson Peralta in AAA. Then Suter can start and give us 60-70 pitches and or pitch long relief. If Houser is ok, this team can win with pitching.

It's great beating the Cubs but lets not get too excited. The Reds still have a better run differential than we do.

The past doesn’t amount to a hill of beans. This massively injured brewer team is coming together, and their beefed up September pitching staff, Suters aura, and Yelich’s bat, at worst, are gonna make things interesting this last 26 games.

I want to know what you're smoking. They've "beefed up their pitching staff"? LOL. The only guy I'm expecting to see good things from is Woodruff. Nelson didn't show anything that made me believe he could still be a Major League pitcher again. I hope I'm wrong, but you're seriously overvaluing the arms coming up to Milwaukee.

It’s more Guerra Hader Pomeranz Claudio Jackson pitching as well or better than they have all year, then adding 3-4 MPH from Nelson with a months worth of good outings in AAA, and Peralta regaining his control, adding it all up > really good bullpen. Not to mention Suter not giving up a run in a months worth of pitching in his just completed rehab.

His outburst was audible over the radio.

*sigh*

[Pugger]

Verlander with a no-no and 13 k's through 8 innings, but the Astros haven't scored either.

 

One good thing is we won't have to face him this week but they have deep stable of aces on that team.

[Pugger]

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

 

Yes, Shaw is great over there but it is a real head scratcher what happened to him offensively this year.

[Pugger]

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

 

No kidding. Some of these umps drive me crazy.

[Pugger]

Cardinals walk off another one.

 

Unless the Cards go on an extended losing streak it's gonna be hard to catch them for the division. Our best bet is getting one of the WC spots.
