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]

[HarveysWBs]

What a horrendous throw by Verdugo. Wow

[Harold Hutchison]

Sac fly!

 

Jesus got it done!!!

[HarveysWBs]

Could use a Moose call here

[topper09er]

Balk!

Stolen base

Sac fly!

 

Did Vin Scully unretire and join the board?

[pitchleague]

Hader for one batter?

 

Man, he didn’t have it tonight.

[Eye Black]

Fun fact from Adam McCalvy:

 

History. The Milwaukee Brewers have scored a run against Kenley Jansen. Before tonight, he had 23 2/3 scoreless innings in 22 appearances against Milwaukee, including the postseason.

 

A not-so-fun fact from Adam McCalvy earlier tonight:

 

Corbin Burnes has surrendered three home runs for the third straight start. According to a Baseball Reference search, that matches a dubious Major League record.

[homer]

This is a long game.

[DHonks]

Also good news, Jansen threw 19 pitches in the inning. Hopefully he’s not available for all 3 games

[brooks_quichenick]

90 MPH on that fastball??

[HarveysWBs]

90 MPH on that fastball??

 

Perhaps he’s just taking a little off for location purposes? I noticed that too.

[treego14]

This is a long game.

...zzzzzzz.....

[Eye Black]

I completely understand why they had to take Hader out, but I am officially a little nervous now.

 

EDIT: Wow, that was risky flip by Arcia.

[phnxcrew]

Wilson would look good as a 4th/5th option... this makes me extremely nervous

[brooks_quichenick]

I completely understand why they had to take Hader out, but I am officially a little nervous now.

 

I don't have a lot of faith in Wilson, hope he proves me wrong.

[topper09er]

Up 3 in the 9th that run does not matter Arcia, get the sure out come on

[mtrebs]

Whew!

[HarveysWBs]

Sleep soundly, all.

[phnxcrew]

Thank the sweet baby jesus. Can we get some damn starting pitching tomorrow?

[topper09er]

Thank the sweet baby jesus.

 

He was a grown man!

[Eye Black]

Now 14 games into the season, Christian Yelich has a 1.213 OPS and Yasmani Grandal has a 1.162 OPS.

[phnxcrew]

Thank the sweet baby jesus.

 

He was a grown man!

 

I had some one actually get mad at that the other day... I see Jesus as I want to ma'am!

[BruisedCrew]

 

Yes, but 27 is an usually high ERA for a MLB pitcher

 

I don't disagree. He was brutal. But I personally think they made the right decision bringing him back. Track record is important.

 

Watched the rest of the game this morning after falling asleep after the fifth inning last night.

 

I’m seconding your comment on Albers. I think everyone forgets how good he was before the injuries popped up last year, and then he never got it back when he was able to pitch again. But, given his track record, the Brewers have to at least give him a look to see what he can do after an offseason of recovery. He has as much of a chance to be useful as any of the other options the Brewers have.

[brewmann04]

I agree on Albers potential impact but sorry worried about Burnes giving up the HR ball.

At this rate he blow past Chase Anderson 30 Home runs given up last year.
