2019-09-06: Cubs (Hamels) at Brewers (Davies) [Brewers win, 7-1]

[yourout]

5 run lead in the eighth inning and we walked the leadoff guy.

It's almost comical.

[BruisedCrew]

Love the leadoff walk to a guy who hasn’t had a hit in a week.

 

Love the DP more.

[sveumrules]

Sometimes leadoff walks score, sometimes they make it to 2nd or 3rd, sometimes they stay at 1st the whole inning & sometimes they get doubled up or picked off.

Grandal seems to grouse about more good strikeout pitches than most!

[yourout]

Nice. Run it up.

[TURBO]

POUR IT ON!

[bigredrobbo]

Dare we pour?

[yourout]

Grandal seems to grouse about more good strikeout pitches than most!

 

Yes he does.

[BruisedCrew]

They just said the Mets beat the Phillies on a walk off HR by Pete Alonzo. It was actually a walk off walk.

[PinaMadness]

That's just what you want. A catcher who doesn't know the strike zone.

[markedman5]

Considering Grandal is one if the NL leaders in walks I would say he knows the zone pretty well......most of the calls he questions are indeed balls.....the one tonight was obviously a good pitch.

[bigredrobbo]

Was that the kid from Up in the stands?

 

Go Crew! Good game, let's keep it going!

[yourout]

Good win. Avoid the undertaker for another day.

[BruisedCrew]

If Knebel and Bobby Wahl can come back healthy next year, between them and Black the Brewers would have some fireballing candidates for the bullpen.

 

I have my doubts about whether Knebel will be back in the same form as the one that finished last year.

[Matt Breen]

Well, the big run we need has started. Now or never. Floundering around in mediocrity won't do it. Gotta go on a big run these last 22 games. Need a lot to go right - but it can happen.

Very well might take a 17 and 5 run to squeak into the playoffs.

Yeah, it's like a 1 in 20 chance. But hey, what the heck.

 

Here's for the fantasy roll players.
