2018-08-24: Pirates (Musgrove) at Brewers (Miley) 7:10 PM CDT [Brewers win, 7-6 in 15 innings -- Crazy 3-Run Comeback Walk-Off Win]

[LouisEly]

If they send those guys down they may not be eligible to be recalled for the Cubs series. Would suck to score the winning run and get DFA'd, but DFA-ing Lyles is the most likely option to bring up a fresh arm.

 

And it might be Wilkerson up as he is on the Temporary Inactive list at AAA.

[Outlander]

It was great that Lyles walked and scored the winning run but he still pitched two innings and was in line to lose the game. It is a tough business and the pitcher they bring up is likely better than Lyles anyway.

Although the extra innings part of the following game weren’t extraordinary, the ninth inning was amazing. The biggest one-inning comeback I’ll probably ever witness in person.

That was an incredible win, game 1 non televised, of a double header. I only remember finding out when I came home from school and saw the highlights on ESPN. I doubt you'll see a bigger 9th inning comeback ever.

 

I remember that one! Weren't there about 500 people at that game since it was a makeup doubleheader?

 

I believe the attendance was slightly above 3,000. All tickets were $10 for both games of the doubleheader and they only sold tickets on the lower level of County Stadium. We sat in the second row behind the Brewers dugout (the only time I ever sat that close). A very surreal set of games to be at. I don’t think there will ever be a situation like that again.

 

My brother and I were 20-game ticket holders back then. He had to work that day, but planned on meeting me for the second game. Our in-person records were really good that year (despite the team being bad), and he arrived at our seats in the middle of the 9th and said he wasn’t going to count this game in his season record since he would only be there for half an inning. When they came back and won he changed his mind...

Awesome game for me, got to watch the whole thing while holding my crying newborn daughter but did not mind at all. I could not believe we even got it to Braun with a chance to win but when he K'd I thought that was it. Too little faith in Air Jordan Lyles, then Kratz finds a hole with his only weapon, the ground ball to the left side. Awesome. Our last multi-run, extra inning comeback was in 1992 against Boston. The game featured 12th inning heroics from Scott Fletcher in his only season in Milwaukee, and Jim Gantner's only career walk-off HR in the 13th.

[Pugger]

Snatched victory from the jaws of defeat.

 

 

I still can't believe what we saw last night!

[Pugger]

After flipping between the Packers and Brewers games, after Lyles scored a Brewer tossed his yellow hat on the field, and I thought the run was going to be negated by a holding call.

 

[Pugger]

We aren't allowed to be happy, though. The Packers lost.

 

I don't care if the Packers lose in the preseason. If you look at the guys who didn't dress it is a miracle the Pack scored 6 points...

[Pugger]

I'm impressed at how many of you in central time stayed up for this one. I didn't even stay up past my bedtime.

 

Its a good thing I'm retired because it was pretty late here in the EDT.

[Pugger]

On Monday all our pitchers are hitting the tattoo parlors to get ugly arm sleeves.

 

Eww. I hate tattoos. And they look worse on women!

[Roderick]

I didn't mind the late game, as we had an hour plus delay at our high school football game for lightning. Got home and only had to watch a few painful innings before the 15th.

I'm impressed at how many of you in central time stayed up for this one. I didn't even stay up past my bedtime.

 

I'm in the eastern time zone. I'm a hero.
