2018-05-04: Pirates (Kingham) at Brewers (Guerra) 7:10 PM CDT [Brewers lose, 6-4; Yelich Fair/Foul HR Controversy]

[PinaMadness]

Looks like Guerra got that bad inning out of his system. Think he'll be all right now.

You appear to be correct!

Great comeback inning by JuniG

Get some good looking swings at least.

Was Pina's good enough for you?

Great SI article on Kingham & his excellent debut against the Cardinals -- he worked a perfect 6.2 innings, & finished at 7 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 9K (98 pitches, 72 for strikes). The Crew might have their work cut out for them tonight.

From what I read he's not really a high level prospect though. Long time minor leaguer. One fantasy outlook said something like "not expected to miss this many bats".

 

Seems like hitters are squaring some up good and it's first time through. Hopefully we can knock him around a little.

[adambr2]

Bill, please stop talking about Sogard's horrible luck every time he makes an out. His last 'hit' was a gift double from the wind on a lazy pop.

A couple of his couple hits were lucky

[TURBO]

I really like it when they wear these uniforms. Our normal uniform is just plain blah...

[PinaMadness]

Villar gets to that grounder. Just sayin'.

[wildcat83]

Sogard dives as he's 6 feet short of the ball.

[PinaMadness]

Well that was a deflater.

[wildcat83]

Wow did that not look like a HR off the bat.

[adambr2]

Might as well have served that one on a platter.

I intended to write getting* yelich had a good cut, and Santana had one foul too.

[PinaMadness]

If Villar is playing second base, we're still ahead going into the bottom of the inning. Sogard literally contributes next to nothing for this team.

[adambr2]

Way more generous zone on the corners for Kingham than it was for Guerra in the 1st.

Put me officially into the anti Sogard camp. They can DFA him any day now.

[adambr2]

Damnit Santana.

[wildcat83]

Guerra has not been given that much off the inside corner, Kingham getting it regularly

[adambr2]

I'm really over this umpire. These inside corner strikes were nowhere to be found in the 1st for Guerra.

[bigredrobbo]

"He's getting the inside corner"

 

and, so it seems, the outside corner, too.

[wildcat83]

Where was Santana?
