2019-09-07: Cubs (Darvish) at Brewers (Gonzalez) [Brewers win, 3-2 -- Walk-off win in 9th]

[jason21nl]

Getting lucky with these foul balls. These are bad pitches by Junior.

 

Luck ran out. Need some magic now

[phnxcrew]

Guerra- another pitcher we won’t have to see again next year. It’s gonna be some kind of turnover

[PinaMadness]

You can only trot out Guerra so many times before you get burned by his walks.

[Bulldogboy]

I will never understand it. Ever.

[crossface21]

This is a terrible decision to bring in Pomeranz.

[adambr2]

This should be Hader. Craig doesn't seem to realize that this inning is probably the game and season.

[Brew crew 92]

I understand not wanting to use Hader in a tie in May. June. July. But if you're not going to use him here on three days rest, I don't get it.

 

I k ow we probably need a win tomorrow too, but this is probably the highest leverage inning of the year. I want my best guy out there.

 

Agree with this, I like Pomeranz, but he’s not Hader. We need K’s.

He needed to be in the game. Period. It was a no brainer.

[crossface21]

You have the best K pitcher in baseball when you need strikeouts with your season hanging in the balance, and Pomeranz is the answer?

[willie key]

Counsell is just freaking bad. My god

[Cool Hand Lucroy]

This is dumb.

 

Suddenly the innovative pen management has 180'd into the old school "I will only pitch this guy with a lead in the ninth"? What is happening?

[adambr2]

Crazy. it seems that Drew Pomeranz might not be Josh Hader 2.0 after all.

[jason21nl]

This is so frustrating

[Bulldogboy]

Not looking forward to the Cubs fans cheering a salami.

[Bulldogboy]

Now Hader?? ***

[adambr2]

Finally made the right call here. I don't know if it's going to be in time now. Hopefully you can at least keep it to no worse than 2-1

He screwed up. Burned a good pitcher. But at least realized it and got him in there.

[willie key]

[phnxcrew]

Granted hader should be in but I love cc’s face there like “what can I do I have one decent reliever?”

[Cool Hand Lucroy]

Seriously. Why is he not in to start the inning? Just seems silly. You want him to pitch tonight! Put him in at the first, brst opportunity!

[rondoman]

Counsell again showing he's generally an idiot that had one lucky year.

 

His management is just atrocious.

 

These moves are questioned the minute he makes them so you can't say hindsight!

He sucks

[yourout]

Freitas is a below average defensive C, with a bad pop time, and Counsell is not gonna C him, but he’s a real good hitter. You haven’t seen that YET. Not exactly easy to get in back in a rhythm with 1 AB a game. He’ll get some big pinch hits this month.

 

With those mechanics..... Not going to happen.

Hasnt pitched since Tuesday.

 

Just ridiculous.

[yourout]

Bad feeling about this.
