2019-07-07: Brewers (Anderson) at Pirates (Musgrove) [Brewers lose, 6-5]

[Eye Black]

Did you guys know that Mauricio Dubon is the first Honduran to be born and raised to play in the MLB?

 

Just wondering if you hadn't noticed Coshun mention it.....

Haha, yeah I think he’s hammered that one home. At this point maybe they assume Brewers fans can’t stand to tune in for more than 5 minutes at a time.

[Eye Black]

All star break at the wrong time for Aguilar

[sarcasm]But at least the home run derby can’t ruin his swing this year![/sarcasm]

[Brew crew 92]

Take out a pitcher on a roll after 4 innings, to me is a firable offense. Maybe we fire Counsell and replace him with DJ.

[PinaMadness]

Claudio making his 117th appearance today.

I think it's very smart to pull Anderson here. Treat this game like a playoff game. Everyone gets all the rest they need after today, do whatever it takes to keep runs off the board.

[82brewcrew82]

Now it's up to our bullpen to hold a one run defecit.

That didn't take too long.

[phnxcrew]

Oh hey, it's everybody's favorite dumpster fire bullpen

[Eye Black]

Nice break on Marte’s interference call (not really sure if it hit him or not). First two batters squared up Claudio very well.

Anderson was dominating the 2 prior innings, what?

[PinaMadness]

Has Jerry Seinfeld been signed yet?

[mtrebs]

For those of you sick of the 1982 reunions and stories, the Pirates are having a 1979 night in a couple weeks.

 

But they are celebrating WINNING the World Series. Huge difference.

I'd rather have Newman

[Eye Black]

I held my breath that entire double play. Nice play.

[trwi7]

This strike zone is hot garbage. 5 inches off the plate? Strike! 3 inches below the knee? Strike!

[DuWayne Steurer]

Maybe Anderson is hurt. Maybe he's just tightening up. Maybe he's got a blister. Maybe he just wanted the PH'er last inning to try to generate some offense, and he knows the entire bullpen is available today going into the break.

 

Lots of reasons that he could have pulled him without it being a "fireable offense"....

[PinaMadness]

Why couldn't it have rained that hard 15 minutes ago?

[folly412]

We have an official game. Feel free to call it since we have one player who wants to be there and it'll take CC until the 9th to get him his AB.

To be fair the pirates are franchise that’s won a bunch of World Series. We have been to one. So I wouldn’t rip anyone for celebrating 1982.

[Eye Black]

Pete Alonso just broke up an Aaron Nola no-hitter in the 6th inning with his 30th home run. He’s had an impressive 1st half.

[Eye Black]

Christian Yelich scratched from the Home Run Derby due to lower back tightness. No word on whether he’ll play in the All Star Game.

[PinaMadness]

So this happened.

Or maybe, his no 3rd time thru the order no matter that the pitcher is mowing em down like dominoes mantra is a big fat stupid mistake from a manager that has been making a lot of them lately, admitted or otherwise?

Good one!

Common sense prevails.

Whoa. I’m ok with that
