2018-07-24: Nationals (Hellickson) at Brewers (Guerra) 7:10 PM CDT [Brewers win, 5-4 in 10 innings -- Saladino Sacrifice Fly Walk-Off]

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

Man a dink base hit. Blew that bat up.

[wildcat83]

Broken bat hits are always lovely.

[markedman5]

We're going to end up with Lopez or Barnes deciding this game I fear.

[liveforoctober]

Burnes, Williams, Knebel, Hader, Jeffress ... 5 Brewers relievers who can hit 97 on the gun. Have we ever had that before?

[KeithStone53151]

A shame that Williams didn't get out of that inning. He deserved those last 2 outs. I agree with bringing in the lefty though.

[MrTPlush]

Gotta bring in our shutdown LHP!

[adambr2]

Having some deja vu about the last time we pulled Williams for Jennings.

[wildcat83]

Well, going lefty lefty hasn’t worked yet this year... excluding Hader. We are due for success.

[topper09er]

I fully support using Williams here. But the world shortest leash.

 

Wish granted

Glad to see Murphy take a meatball down mainstreet to give Turner a chance to run which he does not take

He ran, just the wrong way!

[MrTPlush]

The irony of Turner being put in to run the bases.

[FVBrewerFan]

Jett Bandy 2 HRs tonight, just absolutely raking for the Sky Sox, because of course he is.

 

Blanco and Hager with 3 hits also. That's why you cant just look at stats and say Arcia or Santana are "fixed." I'm sure they're looking for adjustments. Are they driving it to right, changed swing, fishing for sliders, etc.

[markedman5]

Turner having a tough series..lol

A lot of people are saying things like this re: Jennings...

 

I think this might be a case of really remembering only when it goes poorly because lefties are not hitting all that great off of Jennings this year thus far *knock on wood*

[The stache]

Finish them! Cain singles, Yelich with a walk off homer.

[wildcat83]

Gift to end the inning. Wonder if Shaw has ever taken that throw before?

 

Now make em pay and get some runs!

[markedman5]

Or just Cain can hit a walk off homer.....I'm flexible

Ivan DeJesus Jr. hit .345 last year at Colorado Springs. This year at Pawtucket - it's .263.

 

So yeah, you're exactly right, there's a lot more to look at with these guys than the stat line at CS. It doesn't mean they are doing better - but be wary with CS numbers.

[The stache]

There's the single.

[markedman5]

Finish them! Cain singles, Yelich with a walk off homer.

 

Ok,I'm good with your plan

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

When you Google "Professional Hitter", it should just be a picture of Lorenzo Cain.

[FVBrewerFan]

Yea, why are they are not playing someone behind 2B for Cain?

I wasn’t talking about Jennings, a lot of that success is in full innings.

 

I meant going lefty lefty in big situations. Got bit by Logan, Jennings once, Zagurski.... etc.

 

Just meant times late in games or extras going lefty lefty.

[MrTPlush]

That Jesus Aguilar regression is happening.

 

*waits for him to prove me wrong*
