3 crap pop-ups, looks like 2 runs might do it for the Pirates. Prove me wrong -
Great pitch to the 3 hitter there Woody

Nelson out for the year, will miss time in 2018 (post #150)
topper09er replied to homer's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
If that's the case, at this point I hope it's Suter, and he can provide an efficient 4-5 innings. It certainly is nice having a decent to good swing-man at the team's disposal. I have the sinking feeling that it will be Garza, though. If that's the case, I hope the team packs the bats they brought Saturday. I'm pretty sure Suter is going tomorrow, Weds is still in doubt. -

Garza has been pulled from the rotation in favor of Woodruff and Suter. Both are completely unproven at the MLB level. Jungman didn't start for CS yesterday for a reason. He'll be starting. Woodruff and Suter both got their original starts due to injuries, then they became "established" They did just skip Garza but then ran him back out there again. I guess Jungmann was in the rotation previously so maybe they use him, I hope so. -

I dont see any way we dont trot Garza out there. They will not bring an unknown into the middle of a pennant race and Garza is the safe choice. CC can do a pathetic interview after the game about how Garza helped get them where they are now blah blah blah. If anyone in the org has the marbles to go with a minor leaguer I will be pretty surprised. Allowing Garza to start might be #3 in my all-time most hated starts of guys who will obviously suck, after Shaun Marcum 2011 NLCS game 6 and Jeff Poop-on game 4 2008 NLDS. -
Now I am sort of thinking we should just cheer for the Rockies and win the division so the Cubs miss the playoffs entirely. If this is the optimism thread then that is my optimal outcome.
-
Aguilar has been getting the starts vs LHP so I expect to see him in there today. I do agree Perez will get the start since he is "hot"
-
Dodgers up 4-1 now
-
Cubs were trying to coax counsel into pulling hader for ph. Curious as to how often an intentional walk is issued with the bases empty. It has to be extremely rare even for the best of the best hitters. They basically did it to Braun right there, the old unintentional intentional all pitches low and away walk
-
Nice to get an early lead. Also the Cubs are trailing right now too
-
Eat it Lackey
-
OMG. A Brewer waited back and threw his hands at the ball with 2 strikes.
-
Using Knebel in the 8th? How about the 7th yesterday CC you bum.
-
I know, yesterday we concede down by 1 and throw Barnes/Wang/Torres out there. Today, down by 5, we decided to go for it using better pitchers.
-
With Garza pitching? I doubt it
-
Let hold em and Braun will tie it with a lead off HR next inning
-
Same comment for Aguilar.
-
Arcia with massive swings. CHOKE UP. Throw your hands at the ball and give up on the lower half. Why do we have a hitting coach? What does he do, just tell every player try to hit a HR on literally every single pitch you see for the entire season?
-
Yesterday sucks but we don't need to go undefeated in Sept, we need to win series. So today is a must win to give a realistic path to the playoffs that doesn't involve us needing to go 9-1 in our last 10 games or something like that
-
Murphy has only K'd 3 times in a game 1 other time this season.
-
No reason to remove Hader at all, but of course we have to use the closer in the 9th
-
Davies has more wins
-
Dusty really fell for that one, no way Nelson was going to hit this inning with 100 pitches. I wonder if because Dusty ignores pitch counts he doesn't realize all the other managers bow down to it.
-
Players getting hit hard in football cannot be avoided. period. If that is your goal just outlaw the whole thing. There are no preventative measures that you can take to remove hard contact without switching to flag football.
-
Seems like pitchers still aren't used to the shifts, on the last one Nelson tried to hit the ball with his foot even though Arcia was sitting there waiting.
