2019-06-12: Brewers (Woodruff) at Astros (Verlander) [Brewers win, 6-3 in 14 innings -- Brewers overcome 24 Ks with four long balls; Thames HR ties it in 7th & Moustakas HR proves the difference in extras]

Ump has a huge strike zone

Impressive debut from Jordan Yamamoto tonight. Don't look up his line, you'll be sick we traded him for Yelich.

Ump has a huge strike zone

 

Except in the first inning walk to Bregman. One ball was clearly a strike and a second one may have been. Doesn't help that Grandal can't frame a pitch.

Yamamoto having a great game in his debut tonight. Clearly we lost the trade.

Maybe not on that specific AB, but doesn't Grandal consistently grade out as one of the best pitch framers in MLB?

[willie key]

Gurriel has no business getting a hit on that pitch. I hope it doesnt hurt us with two outs

[willie key]

Who’s the guy with Ross in the booth. He ,looks like a wiener

[adambr2]

This seems to be a recurring problem with Woodruff lately his last couple starts. He'll be cruising along nicely, everything is fine, something unfortunate happens with 2 outs and then he just kind of implodes. Edited June 13, 2019 by adambr2

What a garbage inning this is

No idea. Every time I see him (I don't watch a ton of games), he just lets the ball ride his glove away from the strike zone.

How does this guy seem to lose it after looking so good?

[willie key]

This park sucks btw

[Bulldogboy]

Two outs nobody on and they come up with a 3 runs. This team is just not able to consistently shut down good hitting teams. Granted this is one of the best but man. That kind of rally is something the brewers are unable to pull off especially with the Aguillar and Arcia of the world swinging at balls.

[DuWayne Steurer]

Cardinals getting held scoreless by a rookie making his MLB debut?

 

I'm lead to believe that only happens to the Brewers....

[Bulldogboy]

I was unaware that the brewers have 2 full time hitting coaches?? That is unbelievable. This means they can split things up 6 whole players per coach and neither of them can get Aguillar figured out or teach Arcia the strike zone?

I'm not sure why you continue to bag on Arcia. He's on pace for 50+ walks, and has a .740 OPS, which is a pretty solid improvement for him.

[willie key]

Just throw up the white flag and bunt with Shaw there. Only chance to move Thames over at this point with Shaw up.

[adambr2]

Verlander not apparently all that intimidated by Shaw's .171 average.

[ecjimg]

Feels like Verlander is going to strikeout like 13 in 7 innings and win.

 

Fixed.

[adambr2]

Well that was nothing if not totally predictable as to how far that leadoff double was going to go.

We shall see where he ends up. I need to see more than a good 40 games to say he's fixed. More contact would be great start especially in big spots where runs could be produced.Hoping you are correct.

Hell of a catch!

[Bulldogboy]

When is last time Brewers had 3 or more hits in an inning like Astros did tonight? Anyone have an idea?

Literally 2 games ago, against the Pirates in the 7th inning.

[jason21nl]

Verlander is nasty right now
