2019-06-01: Brewers (Woodruff) at Pirates (Kingham) [Brewers win, 12-10 in 13 innings -- Wild roller coaster ride ends with Arcia’s 2nd HR of the game proving the difference]

Did they just say second best in the NL with runners in scoring position?

They did. Which also doesn’t fit some people’s narrative.

[yourout]

Going to need more runs today. 5 is not going to be enough

[TURBO]

Cain is always almost hurt. Every play he has to move on, even walking to the plate the guy looks like he is "almost" hurt.

[rcc]

Woodruff isn't pitching as well as last start but bad luck is also a factor today.

[TURBO]

Woody buzzing Diaz inside and Diaz not happy about it.

 

lol

Apparently our pitchers can't work through the power house of a lineup the Pirates have. You have to be able to handle the crappy teams or you become one.

[MrTPlush]

Arcia couldn’t make a big play then Cain couldn’t make a big play...unfortunate with the possible implosion inning cooking.

[MrTPlush]

“Can small kids make a Gruber commercial not obnoxious and annoying?”

 

The answer appears to be no.

They were best in baseball RISP until recently. My problem with the offense is with home run or nothing. No moving runners over, runner at 3rd less than 2 out > stranded, etc. can’t win playoff games vs great pitching with the all or nothing offense, just look no further than last year vs the dodgers.

Well this pitcher doesn't have his slider going.

The bottom of the order is sitting on his change up and he keeps throwing them change ups that you can hit.

And every hit is finding a gap or grass

 

Very frustrating.

I would look a lot further. Using one series of baseball is a terrible way to make a judgement.

Last year I didn’t feel like we were as HR dependent as we are this year, and I will GLADLY take this years offense! So... look no further than last years Dodgers series as to why we needed more “power” guys.

[yourout]

After we owned the pirates for few years I think the worm has turned and they can do no wrong against us for the last season and a half

[Bulldogboy]

Brewers baseball!! It's frustrating!! Should be the new slogan.

Who cares how you get the runs so long as you get them. Your premise that there is only one way to create offense is just wrong. Offense is not the problem with this team.

What a disappointment it's going to let this one slip away if we don't come back.

 

You get spotted 5 runs by a mediocre team with Woodruff on the mound, you need to find a way to win it.

[TJseven7]

Right down the middle FB Guerra. No harm in walking him. Grooves a FB down the middle.

Looking at Brewers history, and even recent history... this is not a frustrating year. IMO

 

We are in contention, it’s exciting.

Better than walking in multiple runs. At least they earned it.

Wouldn’t really call the pirates a crappy team. Most of those are in the American League.

[trwi7]

Am I the only one who’s been disappointed with how Guerra’s pitched out of the pen? Even when he wasn’t giving up runs it should be stuff that plays up and it just doesn’t.

Yeah middle middle FBs should be every pitch. Works for Burnes.

Not even slightly disappointed.

Ok. Most of last year our offense worse than our pitching. Especially in the playoffs.
