2020-09-12: Cubs (Hendricks) at Brewers (Suter) 6:10 PM CDT [Brewers lose, 4-2 -- Hader blows save in 9th]

[HarveysWBs]

For. Ever.

[trwi7]

Would be shocked if two runs doesn't hold up with how bad the Cubs offense is against us.

[jason21nl]

That swing!

[Eye Black]

Vogelbach with a great approach extended the inning, and thank you Kris Bryant for missing that foul pop up!

 

Oh, and good job Brauny as well.

[wildcat83]

Wow, big gift from Bryant!!! Great job by Braun to take advantage, but that inning should’ve been over.

[Vgmastr]

Vogelbach shirseys are going to be flying off the shelves next season.

The last time the Brewers put up three games of zeros was 2013 by my research:

 

July 19th (Kyle Lohse 6 Innings)

July 20th (Yovani Gallardo 6.1 Innings)

July 21st (Wily Peralta 8 Innings)

 

The most incredible thing...the third game was a 13 inning marathon. It ended in a 1-0 win thanks to Caleb Gindl hitting a walk off homer. It was a complete three game sweep of the Miami Marlins.

That's great. Forgot about Gindl.

Vogelbach’s approach has been what I thought Narvaez was going to possess this season.

Yea. I've been really surprised by Narvaez too. I'm really hoping these guys are struggling because of Covid season and it's not the norm...

We'll see how faithful the fans are to the big guy when he's batting .145 next May.

I went to check what homer it was of his career, it was actually homer #1.

David Ross on Brandon Woodruff Brent Suter: "That's a No. 1 starter. That's a real ace."

[pacopete4]

Ryan Braun ready time carry us to another playoff appearance for this franchise. So disappointed in the lack of posters around here lately. Where the hell is everyone?!? It’s September and all for cripes sake.

[ThisIsMyCrew]

This teams pitching could play really well in playoffs. Just gotta get in.

 

Former MVP will carry the offense until then. Hopefully Yelich can follow suite.

[wildcat83]

I noticed those tablets right when they got back from commercial, thought it was odd.

Oddly the best place to be might be the 8 seed. Best chance to beat LA might be in a 3 game series.

Wat to go Claudio.....nicely done

I had absolutely no faith that Alex Claudio would be useful this year with the 3-batter rule. I was wrong. He's been very good.

This is very, very true. If the WS is the goal, and I'd think it is, you want to face LA right off the bat. Although with this roster I'll be happy with any playoff appearance.

Arent they allowing teams to choose their first round opponents? So being the 8 seed might not mean they draw the Brewers.

No, that was rumored but never actually implemented.

I think you would prefer to not play the Dodgers and hope someone else beats them.

I think I would still prefer the #6 or #7 seed over the #5 or #8. The Dodgers are a lock to get the #1 seed and the Padres are a lock to get the #4 seed. Let those two teams battle it out in the second round and take your chances against the Cubs and then Braves (or whoever upsets them).

 

I realize anyone can lose a 3-game series no matter how good.

 

Edit: I’ll add that the Braves are low on quality pitching so facing them over a longer series wouldn’t be the worst thing.
