2018-06-18: Brewers (Chacín) at Pirates (Williams) 6:05 PM CDT [Brewers lose, 1-0]

[AKCheesehead]

Yup nice footsie play by Jonathan.

[brewmann04]

It seems like it goes two way with this First the brewers always seem to make this type of pitchers look like Cy Young. and then when we lose to a good pitchers the media says we just ran into a good arm/

[tomwopat]

Why is the Sac Man subbing in for Rock?

[DuWayne Steurer]

Nobody wants to give Villar credit for the slick play blocking the base at 2nd and recognizing that Polanco came off the base and calling for the review?

 

Tough crowd....

 

 

EDIT Triple ninja'd. Page loading super slow.

Sounds like Rock is on a vacation.

Well Villar did it sooooo.... yeah.

[markedman5]

This guy is throwing it great tonight......wish the bad guy had showed up

[Chicago Here]

The Brewers offense is the perfect elixir for a struggling pitcher.

 

We need great pitchers and cy young winners to go against so we can crush it.

Struggling pitchers and AAAA pitchers have had our number.

 

At any rate, sure would be nice to have a consistent lineup. Counsell must take notes off of Madden.

[Eye Black]

0-0 without much action to this point. Basically a 3 inning ballgame now, let’s go!

[MrTPlush]

Chacín chugging along through 6 innings:

 

*Counsell frantically calls bullpen to get someone warming up*

[pacopete4]

Villar smoked that ball too. Really seeing it well from the left side.

But.. but.. it’s the number of outs or some bull crap.

[markedman5]

3 hard hit balls 3 outs

Doesn't he have the majority of the offseason off? Has he done this before?

I know he has been missing before..but not sure for something like this.

 

Could be something private and they just are labeling it as “having the series off”.

[MrTPlush]

Man the Pirates are really shooting themselves in the foot today.

[pacopete4]

Chacin not happy to leave this ball game.

[pacopete4]

Hader hasn’t been sharp as of late. That falls on Counsell.

[PinaMadness]

And CC is now paying the price for putting his best relievers on the shelf for too long.

[stoutdude04]

First pitch to Freeze was a better pitch than 2 that Kratz had today...so that doesnt help either.

[kybrewerfan]

And CC is now paying the price for putting his best relievers on the shelf for too long.

 

 

This is correct

[AKCheesehead]

I thought Chacin deserved the chance to clean up his own mess.

[Eye Black]

Six offensive outs left, need to make them count. As the old adage goes, “you can’t win if you don’t score.”

 

The first two batters this inning being Arcia and Sogard isn’t exactly awe inspiring.

 

Edit: Aguilar in to PH for Arcia.

[Eye Black]

Will give a ton of credit to Kratz that inning, he had some huge stops on balls that could have easily gotten by him.

[MrTPlush]

Without a doubt the right decision to take out Chacin and put in Hader.

 

That being said nearly a complete choke job by Hader. Kratz saved two pitches with magical snags and he barely hit the strike zone with a 3-2 pitch.
