2019-04-12: Brewers (Burnes) at Dodgers (Urías) [Brewers win, 8-5 -- Burnes gives up three more HRs, but Grandal and the offense come to the rescue]

[Eye Black]

Muncy has impressive reverse splits. Career .949 OPS versus southpaws.

[Fear The Chorizo]

Hader middle/middle on a ton of pitches...still 95 with life, but not nearly the amount of swing and miss.

Muncy has impressive reverse splits. Career .949 OPS versus southpaws.

 

Yeah but only 118 career ABs vs lefties.

Yeah but only 118 career ABs vs lefties.

And 10 home runs in those ABs. Maybe it’s just an anomaly, but he’s been really good versus lefties thus far.

need a slider here on the outer half...or that

I’m just pleased he didn’t get #11 tonight

[Eye Black]

I don’t think Josh is trying to locate all of these pitches so far up and in. Seems like he is struggling a bit with his command.

[Eye Black]

I’m just pleased he didn’t get #11 tonight

Agreed! I cringed as I typed it thinking how painful watching #11 would prove.

[Fear The Chorizo]

Hader clearly doesn't have it tonight. If he can escape the 8th, the 9th will be fun

[mtrebs]

So, if Hader can make it through this inning unscathed, does he pitch the 9th?

[mtrebs]

Whew!

[Eye Black]

The good news is Hader got out of that seriously scary bases loaded jam.

 

The bad news is he has thrown 32 pitches with another inning to go.

[dlk9s]

Both Albers and Hader threw sick offspeed pitches to end innings tonight.

So, if Hader can make it through this inning unscathed, does he pitch the 9th?

 

I would at least like to send him out to face Bellinger

[Lathund]

Hader gave up more baserunners in one inning than he did in his previous 7 2/3. Says something about how dominant he has been to start the season.

[brooks_quichenick]

Let's get a few more runs so we don't have to have Barnes or somebody pitch the 9th with a 2-run lead. Don't think Hader should go back out there.

[topper09er]

Both Albers and Hader threw sick offspeed pitches to end innings tonight.

 

I thought Albers just threw a 2 seamer right down the middle

[DHonks]

Wow what a K. Given that Hader can’t pitch tomorrow already, I’d be tempted to let him close this thing out

 

Then again, he hasn’t looked sharp

[wildcat83]

I think he pitches the 9th, but this pitch count means he’s done for the series.

 

Suppose a crooked number here would be too much to ask for?

 

As I type that pat from CC may mean he’s done.

[Fear The Chorizo]

CC has a big decision to make for the 9th...at least Bellinger leads off, so if he brings Wilson in it'll still be a 1 run game after he hits his 9th dong. 30+ pitches for Hader that inning, I don't know if April 12/13th is the time to overextend your unicorn.

[treego14]

Launch-angle-Braun looks the same as last year to me ...

[treego14]

Balk!

[treego14]

Stolen base!

[treego14]

Sac fly!

[Underachiever]

creating a run is always beautiful
