2018-07-26: Brewers (Miley) at Giants (Rodriguez) 9:15 PM CDT [Brewers win, 7-5]

[Roderick]

Shaw! Atta boy.

 

Too bad the team doesn't have a sacrificial lamb in the pen right now. Would like to save Knebel. Maybe let Jennings pitch the 9th?

 

Only because the bottom of the order is coming up.

[pacopete4]

Kratz on base three times!

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

I would but no safety net behind him.

 

I bet Barnes pitches, then goes down tomorrow.

[wildcat83]

So do they let someone else finish it and save Knebel?

 

I doubt it. It's a "save situation", so he probably stays because stats are important apparently

[ThisIsMyCrew]

Those may be the two hardest balls Arcia has hit all year.

[pacopete4]

Arcia starting to sting it.

[wildcat83]

Kratz on base three times!

 

Hopefully August is as good to him as July!

[82brewcrew82]

And away we go.

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

Come on Knebel ... no dang drama. I'm tired.

[Roderick]

What was that kratz?

[brooks_quichenick]

Come on Knebel ... no dang drama. I'm tired.

[Bulldogboy]

I'm guessing Soria is our closer tomorrow.

[liveforoctober]

A lot of satisfying offensive production/at bats today. Even something seemingly simple like the 1st inning double followed by 2 ground outs to score him... great to see. Kratz and Braun with rbi singles. Jesus some good at bats.

 

Great offensive game.

[wildcat83]

I'm guessing Soria is our closer tomorrow.

 

Why?

 

The unearned run? Knebel not even to 20 pitches yet. Barring more trouble, he will be available tomorrow.

Yep, great way to follow that crapburger they grilled up yesterday.

[Roderick]

I'm guessing Soria is our closer tomorrow.

 

Why?

Because Knebel pitched more than one inning, and they were all high stress pitches. And Soria is a closer.

Well... There's the more trouble.

[Brewce]

Good thing we got that homer from Shaw. Knebel can't pitch more than one inning!

[Eye Black]

The Giants backup catcher has a .767 OPS.

[Bulldogboy]

Nothing ever easy for Knebel. Flip flop him and Soria.

Well... There's the more trouble.

 

This team doesn't go anywhere if Knebel doesn't figure it out. Gotta roll with him. Pen is good without him ... can be great with him pitching good.

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

Not gonna happen.

[wildcat83]

I'm guessing Soria is our closer tomorrow.

 

Why?

Because Knebel pitched more than one inning, and they were all high stress pitches. And Soria is a closer.

 

None of this inning was high stress till now. He had 4 runs to work with. He's already pitched 3 straight days this year, unless he goes 30+ pitches he will be the "closer" tomorrow.

[Bulldogboy]

As I said.

[Eye Black]

Glad they rallied for some runs in the top of the 9th, turns out they needed them.
