2021-09-19: Cubs (Sampson) at Brewers (Lauer) [Brewers lose, 6-4]

[PinaMadness]

At least the umpire is terrible both ways.

[phnxcrew]

anybody have Lauer with an era under 3?

Unbelievable.

[jason21nl]

One of the more annoying/frustrating games. Baserunners all game long but can’t get a damn hit

[PinaMadness]

About time we took advantage. Thompson has no one to blame but himself for that if you're going to walk JBJ.

[long ball]

Imagine declining a $12.5m option on Kolten Wong.

If I'm a manager that might be the biggest sin in baseball right now.

[PinaMadness]

Wisdom sucks.

[long ball]

So, where does Strickland land in the bullpen hierarchy in the playoffs? Seems Hader, Williams, and Boxberger are pretty clearly the main 3 guys late in games, but Strickland has been pretty darn good.

idk Box has been making me a little nervous lately. I wouldn't mind Strickland or Cousins in that 7th inning role.

ehh, Boxberger really just had the one blow up outing against philly. He's been really dependable otherwise.

[yourout]

JBJ is 1 for 34 and 7 for 70.

He also gave up a home run last night. I guess it depends on what he does his next appearance.

JBJ is 1 for 34 and 7 for 70.

 

 

That’s just mental at this point. This guy isn’t this bad. But he let this season get to him

I'd rather have a pitcher hit at this point.

[folly412]

I'd like to place an order of Badger Mutual Insurance Runs to cap off this year's Cubs throttling.

Can Reyes play OF?

[PinaMadness]

Reyes has as many hits in the past two days than JBJ has in the last two months.

[Eye Black]

Can Reyes play OF?

Yes… or at least he has played in the outfield previously in his professional career.

[jason21nl]

Time for Yelich to go down the left field line

 

Or pop up for IF fly rule.

[jason21nl]

Can Reyes play OF?

Yes… or at least he has played in the outfield previously in his professional career.

 

Then they need to put him out there the remainder of the year and get him playoff ready.

[magnoliacrew]

I don't like Contreras.

They can’t. They need to give JBJ time to work through his slump.

The Pirates were going for the sweep against the Marlins today. They scored 2 runs in the top of the 9th inning to take a one run lead. They gave up a run in the bottom of the inning to tie it, and again took the lead in extra innings in the top of the 10th. The Marlins just hit a walk-off home run to win it.

 

Why is this interesting… The Pirates were trying for their first sweep of the season. They are the only MLB team this season without a sweep. They are now 0-for-15 in games that were sweep opportunities this season. That’s an MLB record for futility in a single season.

i'm shocked they've had 15 opportunities at a sweep.
