2019-04-06: Cubs (Hamels) at Brewers (Burnes) [Brewers lose, 14-8 -- Battle of struggling bullpens]

He may have slid under the tag too

I hope the youngsters in the rotation decision pays off down the road. Starting pitching has been awful this year.

 

3.28 xFIP, 6th best in the majors. 3rd in K-BB%. That kind of ability to get strikeouts and limit walks is a lot more predictive than ERA when it comes to future run prevention. High BABIP and a high HR/FB rate will revert back to the norm, and with that so will the run prevention.

Solid.

[topper09er]

Contact play with the pitcher up next is not the worst idea, if not then you end up with R2 R3 2 outs with no chance to score, or R1 R2 2 outs with a chance for run

Well they have an ace, two TOR starters, and another ace when Nelson comes back tomorrow. Or something like that.

 

Sounds good to me, doubt Nelson back tomorrow though.

[PinaMadness]

There went the tie game.

[topper09er]

Man i thought Schwarber in LF is an auto-send, the throw was horrible

[adambr2]

Wow was that ever a solid AB by Burnes.

[topper09er]

There went the tie game.

 

So you want our manager to make decisions assuming the pitchers will get hits?

[DuWayne Steurer]

Man i thought Schwarber in LF is an auto-send, the throw was horrible

 

Yup. Take a chance and make him make a good throw.

[FVBrewerFan]

Same exact pitch called a ball from Burnes last inning

[adambr2]

Ugh so close to a salami.

[PinaMadness]

There went the tie game.

 

So you want our manager to make decisions assuming the pitchers will get hits?

No, I want him to make decisions that don't give the opposition one less out to get.

No, I want him to make decisions that don't give the opposition one less out to get.

 

What? There would have been an out either way on the play

[adambr2]

Damn it.

[FVBrewerFan]

Dont stop him Topper, he's on a roll.

[PinaMadness]

Fine. One less run to score. Should be 3-2 now.

[OldHeidelberg]

Yelich swung and missed at 3 strikes, seems to be the only guy not locked on to Hamels tonight

[FVBrewerFan]

Man thats a hanging curve Burnes throws

[82brewcrew82]

Not a bad inning there.

[PinaMadness]

Crazy ending to the UVA-Auburn game.

[OldHeidelberg]

Crazy ending to the UVA-Auburn game.

 

What happened?

[xisxisxis]

might be worth moving the black hole out of the #4 position...

[stoutdude04]

Crazy ending to the UVA-Auburn game.

 

What happened?

 

Down 2 foul on a 3 pointer...maybe a bit weak...

No, it was a foul all the way.

[PinaMadness]
