2020-08-15: Brewers (Houser) at Cubs (Rea) [Brewers win, 6-5 in 9 innings -- Crew tallies 6 runs without any HRs; Urías w/ 3 hit day]

Love Urias!

[RollieTime]

I love Urias!

[folly412]

I'm starting to like this Urias. Putting the ball in play is pretty useful.

[wildcat83]

Good things happen when you put the ball in play! Huge insurance run.

 

I honestly think I stick with Phelps in the bottom half.

[adambr2]

Would like to see Urias take over full-time at SS. Smoak at 1B and Gyorko at 3B, and Braun/Yelich/Garcia in the OF. I think that's about the best offense we can throw out there.

[PinaMadness]

Claudio for three batters and a man on second?

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

Claudio?

 

Bold strategy Cotton, let's see if it works.

[PinaMadness]

Quick, everyone put on the Cubs broadcast.

Almora scoring such a stupid decision. Huge risk with no real upside, and now lets Claudio pitch without checking a runner behind him.

[Eye Black]

I’ll give Claudio credit, those last two at bats didn’t look comfortable at all for the Cubs hitters (Happ and Bote).

[markedman5]

Hell yeah!

[markedman5]

Raise that L!

[PinaMadness]

Claudio with his first save since Little League!!!

[adambr2]

That was absurdly bad baserunning by Almora. He risks everything and gains nothing by taking off.

[pacopete4]

Heading back to .500 tomorrow!

[folly412]

Now responsible for more Cubs losses than all other teams combined.

Was pretty shocked that he’s into double digits.

It worked!

Wow... That might end his broadcast career.

When you pitch 226 games a season it's bound to happen.

[yourout]

Nice win.

With broadcasting like that, it makes you wonder who the real dingbat was in that relationship.

He was the Rangers closer for a good portion of the 2017 season. It's one of the factors that was attractive to Stearns.

[sarcasm]Okay Mr. Perfect. Like you’ve never had a couple 12 packs before going to work.[/sarcasm]

 

Truly sounded like a drunk depressed man venting about his ex wife, lol.

I like Arcia more than most people. I just don't believe you can look at the defensive metrics with all the shifting(and he had been hitting well this year coming in with a .300 avg)...BUT, Urias and Keston up the middle...that's gonna be a fun combo for the next ~6 years. You could pretty realistically have 2 guys hitting ~.300 playing SS and 2B.

 

For the time being, I like the idea of Urias being able to play 2nd, 3rd and SS.
