2018-04-25: Brewers (Chacín) at Royals (Hammel) 7:15 PM CDT [Brewers win, 6-2]

[Eye Black]

Nice to see the Brewers getting some breaks from other teams displaying awful defense lately.

[topper09er]

Haha awesome, I only wish that drop would have happened against us while Solar was on the Cubs

We better be prepared because just in the last week alone, we might be using our season's quota. Things usually even themselves out.

Contact play worked!

To be fair, we have lost our closer, starting 1B, C, two of the 3 best OFs, and SS for a few games or DL stints after the first 25 or so games....and we lost a few games late due to comically bad luck with IF hits and bad defense of our own.

[topper09er]

Good baserunning from Sunday, tagging to second and scoring

[cnycerveceros]

How will Chacin handle so much time in the dugout?

He's spent less time on the field all night

[Fear The Chorizo]

Royals must all have early dinner reservations or a late starting NBA playoff game they want to watch live...my goodness

[cnycerveceros]

Ok, well, 1 run. Quick inning.

[Fear The Chorizo]

He's not missing many bats, but hopefully chacin keeps them in the park and blows through a few more innings...pitch count is closer to his normal 1 inning total instead of 4!

[Greenleaf1]

Hammel seems a little peeved that Cain and Yelich aren't swinging at his pitches the way a Brewers lineup typically would.

[young guns]

Chachin on pace for 15 tonight. [sarcasm]hopefully he can eat all of them up.

After he finishes the royals we will just start tomorrow's game vs the Cubs with the royal as stand ins.[/sarcasm]

[TwinsBrewersWorldSeries]

Reverse jinx worked like a charm

 

Braunie with a few more hits today

[cnycerveceros]

If Escobar ties this up I'm done with baseball.

[wildcat83]

Turned on the game and did about 5 double takes at the pitch count for Chacin. Is fox trax only counting every third pitch?

[topper09er]

In the live ball era (since 1920) the lowest pitch count in a 9 inning CG is 74, with the Brewers victim of one of them

 

Carlos Silva, 74 pitches, MIN 7 MIL 1 May 20 2005

Aaron Cook, 74 pitches, COL 10 SD 2 July 25 2007

 

In Silva's game, no Brewer even got to a 3 ball count. He had a 3 pitch inning in the 6th, single, GIDP, F9

Two sort of recent games, but I have no recollection of Silva or Cook.

[Fear The Chorizo]

Scary inning here...top of the order and there have been some loud outs

[The stache]

Brauny 2 for 3 tonight. Over the last seven games:

 

6 runs, 2 doubles, 2 home runs, 7 RBI, 2 walks, a .435 AVG (10 for 23), and a slash line of .480/.783/1.263.

 

I'd say he's feeling it right now.

[topper09er]

Did they put in a new rule this year where the starter cannot enter the 7th inning?

[Greenleaf1]

Good thing they got Chacin out, his pitch count was really getting up there.

[wildcat83]

WHY??? Starter at 64 pitches and only a runner on 1st with 2 outs??? Two hits this inning, but both ground balls. CC puts way to many unnecessary outs on our bullpen.

[TJseven7]

Great way to kill your pen. 64 pitches 2 down 1 on 1st... up 4-2... genius.

[wallus]

I disagree with taking out Chacin here.
