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]

[PinaMadness]

Sigh

[Lostpawn]

And now he might get the W.

Disregard.

[yourout]

He was looking for that pitch.

[phnxcrew]

It’s a shame Contreras hasn’t been hit more

[DuWayne Steurer]

What was with that shoulder shrug..... wow

[wibadgers23]

How in the world is this Cubs lineup better without Bryant, Rizzo and Baez?

[DuWayne Steurer]

I want someone to hit a homer, throw the bat like 150 feet, do a spin move, and a fake fadeaway jumper while staring at the Cubs dugout.

[adambr2]

I guess when you're 800 games out of first place you have to enjoy the little things like pimping your solo shots.

[markedman5]

Apparently it’s hard to beat a team 11 times in a row………ok guys let’s get the lead back.

[phnxcrew]

Yelich has forgotten left field, where he could have smacked that pitch

[yourout]

Wonder what the worst batting average ever turned in by a hitter with over 300 ABs?

[Eye Black]

Cardinals 2-run HR from Tyler O’Neill to take a 3-2 lead in the 8th inning.

 

Also, the Padres (Tatis Jr. and Machado) were yelling at each other in the dugout an inning earlier.

I'd settle for a moon walk around the bases.

[HarveysWBs]

I’m not sure what is sadder, Yelich’s ABs or JBJ’s obligatory pinch hit appearance. On the one hand, JBJ is just pathetic. I mean, nobody even tries throwing anywhere but right down the middle, and he still can’t do anything with it. With Yelich, though, the sad part is remembering what he used to be not that long ago. When either of them comes up to bat, my feeling of ennui is about the same.

Speaking of dumpster fire bullpens the Padres have one. Darvish with 7 shutout innings and Pagan gives it away.

Ask Bellinger

The Padres are absolute crap right now. Wow.

Feels like the rest of the National League Wild Card chasers would end up allowing the Cardinals to grab a playoff berth. Brewers will have some say in that with the seven upcoming head-to-head matchups.

[yourout]

Williams likes to walk guys at times.

[BruisedCrew]

Cards win again.

 

No division clinching until Monday at the earliest.

 

Unless the Brewers win both tonight and tomorrow it will probably take two wins in that series to clinch. The Padres are not likely to help.

[PinaMadness]

It's Schildtember in St. Louis.

[FidoMcCokefiend]

Bill Bergen in 1909 hit .139 in 346 ABs

 

Lowest since 1909 is Adam Dunn .159 in 415 ABs (same as Bellinger right now)

 

And holy cow, the rabbit hole on Bill Bergen...

 

Played 11 years, averaged about 90 games a year. Lifetime slash line of .170/.194/.201/.395

No way Tingler keeps his job. They've had some pitching injuries, but still should not be this terrible.

[yourout]

Last AB win for someone.

[DuWayne Steurer]

Lowest since 1909 is Adam Dunn .159 in 415 ABs (same as Bellinger right now)

 

 

Bill Bergen had a .319 OPS. OPS. ANd had a 1 OPS +

 

For all the ineptitude JBJ has put together at the plate, he's still sporting a relatively robust 35 OPS +
