2019-07-17: Braves (Keuchel) at Brewers (Anderson) [Brewers win, 5-4 -- HR’s for Piña and Yelich; Hiura hits a pair of doubles; Brewers hold on late]

[BruisedCrew]

37 pitch inning. Wow

 

That’s not all this inning.

[Bulldogboy]

Man. Freddy showed you all the reasons he is who he is that inning. Good and bad.

[OldHeidelberg]

It wasn't pretty but I'll take it.

[Harold Hutchison]

Or maybe this team just turned the corner and is breaking out like Walter Payton in an open field...

[Diamondbacks]

Whew, quite a few sighs of relief after that inning. Do they just let Hader finish this one? Or do we go with Albers or Claudio for the 8th?

I'd go with Claudio.

Up 5 runs right now? I mean, I know he hasn't pitched much lately, but I hate to pitch him two innings in a 5-0 game and lose him for the Diamondbacks.

Missed the one out in the fifth.

Well that is is what alot is of people including myself said about last night's win.

[MrTPlush]

98 from Peralta is surprising? He threw hard before and now he is in the pen. Seems reasonable.

[pacopete4]

Guerra up.

 

Ump did Peralta no favors that inning.

This is the tough decision's Counsell has to make. I say start with Jeffress?

[tmwiese55]

Freeman is first up. So Claudio for that and if he doesn't get him, yank him. Need to start viewing him as a lefty specialist. Would be nice to try and get through without using Hader or at least only using for 1 inning so he can be available tomorrow

[Diamondbacks]

Lol, Bill complimenting Saladinos out. That's the point were at now.

Or just put up a crooked number here and hand the ball to Burch

[Harold Hutchison]

Lol, Bill complimenting Saladinos out. That's the point were at now.

 

MLB Gameday said he flew out sharply to right.

[B-Train]

Don’t forget Ben Oglivie. He was a stick figure. I appreciate your efforts to debate my statement and you provided ample evidence. I still am amazed that those guys generate that kind of power.

[Diamondbacks]

Lol, Bill complimenting Saladinos out. That's the point were at now.

 

MLB Gameday said he flew out sharly to right.

Ya, it was a decent out. My point was he had been so bad they have to justify to the fans subtlety about him still being up....it was still an out. They did it last night to, with an OK defensive play in the first. Talked about it for 6 innings

[tmwiese55]

yes Saldino did hit that very well. I think one of his earlier outs was struck well too but still not producing.

 

FYI, I just checked on Perez. HE's at .189 with a 520 OPS in AAA so far. Only 9 games and 37 ABs but he hasn't gotten out of his funk yet so they'll probably just stick with Saladino for a bit. But maybe we can start playing him less please

[KeithStone53151]

I can understand opening with Guerra. I think I'd like to see Hader pitch the 9th regardless...unless of course he's needed to get out of a mess in the 8th. We have a full day and a half off...so I would think he'd for sure be ready for Thursday night.

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

Leadoff walks ...

 

Awesome!

[B-Train]

Hader last pitched on the 12th - 2 innings. Does he need work to stay sharp - never mind. Go to him now!

[Bulldogboy]

If Guerra was going to walk Freeman why not just throw Claudio? Hader better get ready. Guerra is not good.

[PinaMadness]

Could Guerra miss his target any more?

[jjfanec]

Needed to make it a save opportunity for Hader...

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

Good lord ... the bullpen dumpster fire continues.
