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]

Are you kidding me Josh?

[Lostpawn]

That insurance run that Reyes provided with his outstanding baserunning on both the double and the play at home is looking huge right now.

[PinaMadness]

Looks like Hader is overthrowing.

[MrTPlush]

That was amazing. Haha

[jason21nl]

Sir your ass down. That’s a strike

[DuWayne Steurer]

That got plenty of plate.

[Eye Black]

Sit down Contreras, you’ve been barking about good strike calls for two days. You’d think a catcher would have better zone recognition.

[PinaMadness]

Go start up the bus, Contreras.

[BruisedCrew]

Could use some add on here. Cubs will have the top of their order in the ninth.

 

 

We'll have Hader.

 

I still like a cushion.

[Lostpawn]

Awesome way to close that one out.

[Eye Black]

Playoff bound Brewers… this team feels special.

[PinaMadness]

Nice to end it striking out both Contreras and Wisdom.

[Eye Black]

Well it didn’t look like the Brewers were going to do much celebrating.

 

The team account just Tweeted this…

Four straight seasons of playoff baseball! Wow… get the bunting out.

Ironically, if those shirts are made by Fanatics, October is probably how long they will last before falling apart.

…get the bunting out.

Analytics has already done that.

With an ejection to boot.

For arguing a pitch that was clearly a strike.

[phnxcrew]

Contreras and wisdom will keep us sharp against the Cubs while they lose 90+ Every year for quite awhile. What a couple of crappy babies

MLB’s Brewers playoff graphic below. Not including Willy Adames on this seems criminal.

 

[Eye Black]

The Brewers will try for a dozen straight wins against the Cubs tomorrow.

Keep it rolling baby! After I saw Hader throw that first strike to the last batter I said “he’s saying screw it, I’m just throwing it as hard as I can the rest of the way and dare him to hit it.” 99 on the last one. Love it. This team just keeps fighting! So fun to watch.

 

Also big props to Reyes for that slide at home! Beautiful.

[yourout]

Wonder how clubs will deal with this guy hitting a batter every other inning.

In the world of COVID and cancellations, we better just celebrate stuff when it actually happens.

[ebmackenzie]

Reyes hasn't been too shabby the last couple games. I wonder if he can play centerfield.

 

I have been as critical of Reyes as anybody here, but his September is turning me around to him. Great numbers, decent glove and has shown some daring with his speed on the base paths.
