2018-07-09: Brewers (Anderson) at Marlins (Urena) 6:10 PM CDT [Brewers lose, 4-3 in 10 innings]

[wildcat83]

That ended quickly. Jesus looked a little over anxious.

 

He looked like a batter trying to do the “right” thing and hit the ball the other way

 

Trying to hit it the other way isn’t the “right” thing if it’s 8 inches off the plate.

[TURBO]

So, do we deserve to lose this game more than the Marlins deserve to lose?

 

Someone is going to win, I prefer it be us!

[adambr2]

The funniest part of the whole Hader argument is I remember a post from the Braves series calling for Hader to be used because the Marlins games would be blowouts and we wouldn’t need him anyways. BASEBALL!!!!!!

 

I'll have to take your word for it. I can't fathom anyone here actually thinking we were just going to stroll into Miami and blow them out 3 times.

[PeaveyFury]

Nice of the Marlins to get an exciting game for their fan in attendance.

Now that I agree with.

[SRB]

Aguilar can't hit a home run literally every PA. The back end of the Marlins bullpen is fairly good.

By swinging at two balls in three pitches.

 

You do realize that those pitches appear to be strikes at first right? He was trying to go the other way with the pitch

 

You do realize that they were still balls, right? Calling it being a little over anxious was probably on point whether he was trying to hit it to right field or the moon.

Same! I hate the "We deserve to lose!" posts. Ziegler threw the right pitches. Mattingly pulled the right strings. Yeesh. SOmetimes the other guys do the things they are trying to do. So go out in the 11th and get a run, and win the game.

[jason21nl]

I swear some of you guys think it’s easy to hit and you’d never swing at a ball. Those pitches appear to be strikes at first. That’s why he swung.

[YelichPosse]

Nottingham - I’ve enjoyed his play today

Three... there are three... and they are wearing stupidly bright shirts

[topper09er]

More baseball games are lost than won

Used to be four of em.

Heaven forbid a guy swing at pitches out of the zone! That’s what a pitcher gets paid to do.

[markedman5]

Williams and JJ looked good......everybody else not so much

[Eye Black]

I hope they get out of this inning (obviously), but it has an ominous feel to it so far.

Hitters get paid not to swing at them. Jesus and the year he’s having lays off them far more often than not. I just felt like he might have chased being a little over aggressive in a big spot. Didn’t mean to ruffle your feathers that much with an observation

[PinaMadness]

I posted it and I never said they would be blowouts. I said it could very well happen. Don't misquote me like that.

 

This isn't the first time this year that Hader sat too long in the pen and gave up runs when he finally saw some action. It's ok to use him for one lousy inning. I just don't like the way CC uses him. Why must he always pitch multiple innings? Then he sits mulitiple days and then when he finally is available he doesn't get in for a couple more games anyway because the situation doesn't dictate it. If that's the way Hader is going to be used you might as well convert him into a starter. Otherwise I would rather see him as a one inning guy who only needs one day of rest, if that, and get more appearences out of him than pitching him 2-3 innings and being unavailable for 2-3 games.

[Bulldogboy]

Knebel is always behind in the count. Not enjoying watching him pitch this year. If you don't have your curve scrap it.

[markedman5]

I guess you aren't going to get the corner when you are wild

[Eye Black]

Knebel getting squeezed big time.

[pacopete4]

Heaven forbid a guy swing at pitches out of the zone! That’s what a pitcher gets paid to do.

 

And batters are paid to hit. What’s your point? Wildcats point still remains that he was a bit anxious in his at bat. Maybe had he waited for a strike, we’d be trying to close this one out right now.

[YelichPosse]

Couple of those pitches looked like strikes to Maybin but when you’re wild you tend to not get those calls.

 

Sigh.

 

Come on let’s get outta this

[adambr2]

Kind of hilarious to be that worried about the runner when you're just going to send him over to the next base for free on 4 pitches anyway.

[Eye Black]

Do you just walk him and try to setup a double play?
