2021-09-18: Cubs (Steele) at Brewers (Burnes) [Brewers win, 6-4 -- Piña smashes two crucial home runs; Crew clinches playoff spot for 4th consecutive season]

Had a feeling there.

Great job Pineapple! Hope we don’t need much more tonight.

[markedman5]

Eric Thames in the house…….always liked him.

 

[DuWayne Steurer]

First hit he's given up in a hot minute, and it's to the pitcher, lol.

[LouisEly]

MVPINAAAAAAA!!!!!

[sarcasm]Good thing the Brewers didn't upgrade their backup catcher at the trade deadline.[/sarcasm]

[wibadgers23]

I’ve said this before but I swear we must lead the league in infield hits given up.

If you have pitchers that keep the ball down and you try to induce grounders, that's gonna happen.

[phnxcrew]

The Cubs seemingly have been very lucky against us and yet have lost

Ten straight. Weird

[willie key]

I’ve said this before but I swear we must lead the league in infield hits given up.

 

 

That’s because we have three of the top five pitchers in all of baseball that’s given up the least percentage of hard hit balls

 

 

Woodruff. Burnes and peralta have been amazing

[owbc]

Not a performance that is going to move Burnes to the top of Cy Young ballots.

[markedman5]

Taylor having a good night in Nashville

 

[BruisedCrew]

Burnes is going to have to settle in and battle to get through 6 tonight.

[DuWayne Steurer]

Not a performance that is going to move Burnes to the top of Cy Young ballots.

 

 

I mean, one run on 3 hits and a walk with 7 k's through 3 IP isn't "bad", per se.....

[ThisIsMyCrew]

 

Taylor doing well in AAA.

[phnxcrew]

Wisdom sure looks like Bryce harper without any achievement of any kind.

[markedman5]

He has set a ridiculous standard.

 

He is getting behind guys a lot tonight……did a good job to minimize the damage

[BruisedCrew]

Padres get 2 off of Wainwright. 2-0 mid 4.

And you cannot forget Houser. It's like 1/3rd of the hits he's given up are infield hits. (That what it feels like to me not statistically right I assume) like Houser just needs a JBJ and Cain OF and use 5 infielder he'd reduce his ERA by half.

[Nola Beery]

woot

[markedman5]

Boom

[PinaMadness]

Wisdom sure looks like Bryce harper without any achievement of any kind.

He belongs on the Cardinals roster, not the Cubs. I can't stand that guy.

Especially breaking into the majors at what, 29? there’s usually some level of humility there. I agree, the cardinals may trade for him.

[PinaMadness]

Steele didn't want any part of Pina after that bomb.

[DuWayne Steurer]

Steel's up at 70 pitches. He's not gonna get out of the 4th at this rate, even if he doesn't give up another run. We're gonna get into the pen real soon here.
