2017-07-14: Phillies (Pivetta) at Brewers (Davies) 7:10 PM CDT [Brewers win, 9-6; GS for Braun in 8-run 2nd]

[wildcat83]

He got a little help on strike 3. Like a couple inches of help. Target was inside and Pina had to reach across the plate to catch it which made it look worse yet.

[AdvantageSchneider]

Colorado getting smoked tonight. Want to win the division but the wild card is looking like a reasonable fall back position now.

1. Zach Davies is trash. We will no doubt be trading for at least one start in the next couple of weeks.

 

2. Santana and Broxton are embarassing sometimes. 11 errors combined? Come on guys we just had the AS break...

It's getting harder to watch an outing like Davies had and not want to give his spot (or Guerra's) to Hader. Have to tell yourself that the pen needs all the help it can get, though fewer innings on the arm the past couple months could make a move easier since you won't be concerned about an innings limit in September.

[AdvantageSchneider]

Pittsburg beats the cards 5-2. Come on Balitmore.

[folly412]

Santana made a good defensive play? Santana made a good defensive play!

[young guns]

Cooper went 0-4 with 3 strikeouts for the yanks.

DS on his way to winning another trade. How long until the league figures out not to trade with him? He might just have to throw in a stinker every 10 trades to sandbag a little.

TRUMBO!!!

[MDCrew]

O's just tied it at 8.

Hader probably 4th, 5th in line to move into rotation. I doubt that's even on the Brewers radar for the rest of this year. As good as he's looked in the pen, he can't come out and throw 98 mph for 6 innings.

[igor67]

In the books, just keep winning

[82brewcrew82]

For all the talk of moving Hader to the rotation, the freight train at the back end of the bullpen looked awfully good tonight.

[topper09er]

Cubs got the lead back in the 9th, but maybe Davis wants to blow another game to go along with his all-star performance

[brewmann04]

Davies must have the most run support in the majors

[3and2Fastball]

That second inning was amazing. Seeing Braun's exuberance after the HR was fantastic. They need to trade for more pitching though, to keep this run going. They aren't gonna score 8-9 runs every game....

[PrestigeWorldwide]

When Shaw made two outs in the same inning tonight I think that it was the third time in the last couple of weeks that it has happened. Villar did it and I can't remember who the other player was.

 

Broxton did it against Baltimore. Struck out for the first out and struck out for the third out.

 

Crazy thing about the other two is that they made the first and second outs of the inning. Villar and Shaw made the first out, then eight straight got on, then they made the second out.

[stalton]

Davies is on pace for about 16 wins. Given his ERA, that's crazy.......but I'll take it!

[Jimbo]

How many times have we hit a 3r HR and a Grand Slam in the same inning?

 

IIRC, two grand slams in one inning against Boston. Ironically Harvey's Wallbangers, given the weekend.
