2017-07-17: Brewers (Suter) at Pirates (Kuhl) 6:05 PM CDT [Brewers lose, 4-2]

[trwi7]

I dont mind that one as much with 2 outs, throw was excellent, Cervelli caught it in the air

 

Nah, that was a bad send. Any decent throw was going to get him. Maybe if it's someone other than Pina (or Thames) running but that one had pretty much no chance of being successful.

The winning has been fun but I'm back to taking things going back way too hard. So irritated right now. So pessimistic.

[adambr2]

Hader really needs a K here.

[topper09er]

Villar and his .288 OBP was on deck, do you get a good enough throw from RF at least 72% of the time? Maybe

Been watching this team for way too long to think that a 5.5 game division lead at the break means that the team is going to win the division.

MLB GameDay is REALLY sucking it tonight. So are the Brewers.

[OnaBadger58]

Another Brewer killer

[adambr2]

Pretty dumb challenge.

[trwi7]

I have no idea why Braun was playing so far back there.

Doesn't help that there are at least 2 more talented teams in this division behind the Brewers

Also botched the one hop allowing Polanco to get to 2nd. That's not a double.

[OldSchoolSnapper]

Google Reddit MLB streams. Thank me later.

[OnaBadger58]

Hader certainly wasn't fooling anyone that inning.

[trwi7]

At what point is Villar better off just batting left handed permanently?

[BuckyBrewer61]

Love that Pirates fans are booing Braun...I expect they'll do the same when Marte returns???

And they cheer for Ben Roethlisberger

Interesting question but I wonder if it is too late now, he has never seen a lefty pitch standing in the LH box since he was probably 10 years old or never. I wonder if there are any cases of MLB hitters giving it up

I know Shane Victorino did for a bit, but that was because he had the same thumb issue as Braun.

[AKCheesehead]

I sure thought Nick Franklin should give up on batting right handed.

[markedman5]

Lots of base runners....not much to show for it......offense in a bit of a lull last 3 games

Well it was only at the end of his career but it was a pretty big drop. His lines are:

 

 

vs RHP as RHB 376 PA .242 .309 .361

vs RHP as LHB 3208 PA .268 .329 .401

vs LHP as RHB 1580 PA .299 .369 .491

[adambr2]

Just not getting that big hit. 7 runs in 3 games is not going to cut it.

[OnaBadger58]

Love Arcia's 2 strike approach

[adambr2]

Damnit Phillips .

[adambr2]

And Perez hacks at Ball 4.
