Cubs (Wicks) vs Brewers (Lauer): 9/30/23, 6:10pm

[trwi7]

This meeting is great I bet.

Hook: Throw strikes

Lauer: Last time I did that it went 563 feet.

Hook: Right, fair enough.

Hard to believe 2021 Lauer was very good and 2022 Lauer was more than serviceable.  Dude looks destined for indy ball sooner rather than later.

I already said why. I don't care if we have nothing to play for. 

Still want him in there?

[Simba2020]

I was really hoping to never see Lauer in a Brewers uniform again. I really just can't stand the guy.

[trwi7]

His FIP was just 69.25.  Can't wait to see how much it jumped after the grand slam.

[RobertCrawley]

Call me sour on Lauer.

[kevinisaname]

What was his ERA in the minors this year?

[Brewcrew82]

Goodbye Lauer.

You’ll probably get your wish now

108.25!  Hell yeah.

[Ro Mueller]

Wow. I hope Lauer finds his confidence and footing again some day. Rough

[Brewcrew82]

3 HRs in the first inning. Nice.

[kevinisaname]

LOL, brutal...

[HarryDoyle]

I get there is nothing to play for but come on. You have to take him out.

[Simba2020]

Don't they usually have batting practice before the games start?

[HarryDoyle]

Cubs felt sorry for Lauer and struck themselves out swinging at pitches out of the zone.

It doesn’t matter this game means about as much as a spring training game does for the Brewers.  He could pitch all 9 innings it doesn’t matter.

[kevinisaname]

I would rather have Tellez out there.

And yes, I realize this is not in blue.

No you don't. This is Lauer's game. All of our other pitchers on the roster now are going to be needed for the postseason.

Damn it!  I don't want them to start any earlier than 7:00 pm for selfish reasons...  I won't be home both nights until 7:15.

😡

[willie key]

Thank god we won that game last night or we were going  to see these chumps next week

[Brewcrew82]

Lauer not even hitting 90 MPH with his fastball in that last AB.

[markedman5]

Good thing Lauer has fixed his problems….’

“I had been trying to shift my mechanics and my arm slot trying to make it work all year not knowing what was going on. I just wasn’t throwing like myself. Now I feel like I’m back to a rhythmic, good stable state of throwing, knowing where my arm is, knowing where the ball’s going

[OldHeidelberg]

What the heck happened to Lauer? I mean I know being stuck on aaa he wasn’t good enough so this should be no surprise but geez he turned to crap fast.

[Brewcrew82]

It would have been far more enjoyable to watch Robert Gasser tonight. Damn you service time/40 man roster rules!
