2019-06-30: Pirates (Brault) at Brewers (Davies) [Brewers win, 2-1 -- Thames HR in 8th inning breaks the tie and proves the difference]

[adambr2]

We sort of burned through our bench in a hurry today and Jeffress is due up.

 

Double switch. And they still have Saladino available, whatever that's worth.

[Eye Black]

Have a weekend Eric Thames! Followed by the gauntlet stare down.

[Lathund]

[PinaMadness]

Thames is hot!

[Brew crew 92]

So who else can we bring up to cure the ailing offense?

 

Freitas

Grisham

Dubon

Still have Woodruff.

[adambr2]

6 out of our 7 runs this series have come with Eric Thames at the plate. The other came with Zach Davies at the plate.

[adambr2]

So Hader, or Burnes in the 9th?

[BruisedCrew]

Is the ball just not carrying as well at MP in the relatively humid conditions? It seems like there have been a number of hard hit balls hitting the wall or being caught on the track that were flying out earlier in the year.

Forgot about him and gamecast was wrong about Jeffress due up. Was more thinking about extras anyway but now Thames!!!

[Bulldogboy]

Thames has been a savior given what else has gone wrong. Credit to him. I thought he was the odd man out in the spring. Way to go E!!

[willie key]

Eric Thames is strong.

 

Is hader pitching today

Using the non juiced balls today.

We’ve seen how gaudy numbers in the PCL translate to production for the big club.

[trwi7]

Load the bases and stick with the guy that can't throw a strike. Hurdle is so dumb.

[BruisedCrew]

Going to need more evidence to convince me that Saladino is an upgrade from Perez.

[BruisedCrew]

Eric Thames is strong.

Nope. Albers with the save opportunity.

 

Brewers wins without Hader appearing have been extremely rare this month.

[Brew crew 92]

Load the bases and stick with the guy that can't throw a strike. Hurdle is so dumb.

 

Not so dumb after all. He actually gets his players to play better than their talent. Did it with the Rockies too.

[Eye Black]

Is Albers in for just Marte, maybe?

[Eye Black]

Rock: “Talk about a guy that’s due against Milwaukee, it’s Josh Bell” as Bell walks to the plate with a runner on in the 9th inning of a one run game against Matt Albers.

[PinaMadness]

We're getting the favoritism with the K zone today.

[Eye Black]

If Albers gets through this inning with the save I promise I won’t every make a pun out his first name again.

So does CC.

[adambr2]

Sweet!

[willie key]

Well. I will be damned
