2017-05-21: Brewers (Anderson) at Cubs (Arrieta) 1:20 PM CDT [Brewers lose, 13-6]

[Sixto]

Seems like Anderson is getting squeezed

Not really, more so just sucks today. But I haven't seen any egregious problems with the strike zone .

Before that dinger I thought there were 2 borderline pitches. Definitely not getting the high strike which is crucial

[adambr2]

Need to get something going here off Arrieta. Even a 2 run inning would put this right back in striking distance.

[adambr2]

Damnit Keon. We've had our shots. Just cannot come up with one big hit with RISP today.

[Sixto]

So Arrieta gets the high strike call that Anderson can't get

[markedman5]

Ks really starting add up for Broxton

He's always going to strike out a lot, I can live with that but for the love of God don't sit there and stare at one with 2 in scoring position and 2 out. Gotta protect.

So Arrieta gets the high strike call that Anderson can't get

 

Didn't see the ones you are referring to with Chase, but Gameday shows that strike 3 to Keon as plenty in the zone.

[adambr2]

Time to shut this one off for awhile. You suck, Chase.

Watching it live, it looked like it looped up and around high, but dropped in at the top of the zone by the time it hit the catcher's mitt. Looked like a ball to me.

[markedman5]

I don't get letting Chase hit here. We have a day off tomorrow so pinch hit and use the pen

I thought so too watching in real time, but Gameday showed it easily in the zone. I really don't know how accurate and consistent Gameday is with the actual strike zone.

[adambr2]

Ok I haven't been able to switch it off yet, but if we can't get something going this inning with 2 on and the top of the order up, it won't be happening today.

[adambr2]

A head scratching grand slam by Thames here would be wonderful.

[adambr2]

Good to see Bosio has kept his baseball figure from the early 90s.

[yfinn6]

C'mon Thames.

[adambr2]

Gotta have at least 3 this inning if we're going to make a game out of this .

[yfinn6]

Thames was limping there? Yep.

[adambr2]

Really not the AB we needed from Braun there at all. He had a chance to walk several times, pop up is as bad as a K.

[MrTPlush]

Good job Braun.

[yfinn6]

Bases loaded and one out and we get one run. Welp, one of those days.

[adambr2]

Thumbs down to the meat of the order. Had a chance to get back in it and all of Thames, Braun and Shaw with some very poor ABs.

[rcc]

Swing and a miss. But it is Arrieta after all. An ace who has the stuff to get out of trouble.

 

With this team and their hitting it's not over till it over.

[markedman5]

Brewers say leg cramping for Eric Thames.
