2019-07-22: Reds (Gray) at Brewers (Anderson) [Brewers lose, 6-5 -- Saladino’s 8th inning grand slam gives Crew the lead; Jeffress serves up 2-run HR in 9th to Suarez]

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

Baseball is an awesome game. It's just great.

[wildcat83]

I wonder if a picture could get a win and a save in the same game? The reason I ask is Lorenzen could be in a game when his team takes the lead and then could go to the Outfield while a reliever faced a couple of hitters and then came back in the game

 

 

Mind. Blown.

 

 

Twice in one night now?

 

Before yesterday the odds on a win/save probably would have been better than Salad man granny’s on back to back days...

[owbc]

Flipped the game on and literally the first pitch I saw was a Saladino grand slam. Unreal.

[adambr2]

That is why you don't write a guy off after 50 PAs.

 

You were saying things like this last night too. No one was writing Saladino off because of 50 PAs. He has over 1,000 PAs at the MLB level.

 

I'm thrilled of course, about the last two nights, and it must feel awesome for him.

[MadScientist]

That's the way to bust a slump Cain.

[Brew crew 92]

Salad man could go another month without a hit and still be the savior to our season.

[stoutdude04]

Pirates gave up 3 to the Cardinals in the 10fh, had a big rally going in the bottom of the 10th, and ruined it by bunting.

They gave up 4. Grand slam to Goldschmidt. But yea... awful sequence in the bottom half. Pretty sure they got an out at home with only 1 out in the inning too.

I wonder what kind of odds Vegas would have given you on saladino hitting grand slams in back-to-back games

I read this really fast and at first thought it was derogatory comment about someone's grandmother.

[DuWayne Steurer]

There were guys wanting to DFA the guy after literally 12 at bats. I'm not saying Saladino should be starting, or even necessarily that he's a good player, but man, baseball is just such a weird game.

 

You put out a sunday lineup one day and score 7 runs with Yelich and Grandal on the bench. Saladino comes through. Saladino was pretty decent last year. .700 OPS guy and versatile with some pop. He wasn't going to continue to be a .200 OPS guy.

Why hasn’t pitching guru Derek Johnson prevented Raisel Iglesias from being hot trash?

[Brew crew 92]

The salad man.... we were so wrong.

 

Honorable post.

[Bulldogboy]

Amazing response from this team tonight. Three outs to get but wow would this be a big one. Congrats to Saladino who might be here a while.

[markedman5]

I guess this is what they were seeing at AAA........

 

You just got to be happy for the kid........CC actually said I nhis post game 2 days ago they were close to having to make a decision on him.

 

Hilarious

[wildcat83]

If Saladino isn’t in the starting lineup tomorrow I will make at least 5 pregame rant posts on the IGT...

[Beer Out West]

Thats gotta be one of the coolest things Ive ever seen. Baseball is the weirdest and most wonderful sport on the planet.

[markedman5]

Need good JJ tonight

[cesser000]

On the replay Saladino's eyes were HUGE when he realized he had done it again.

Nobody’s perfect?

[Bulldogboy]

Now,confidence in Jeffress working for the third day in a row??

[Brewcrewin07]

I guess after those two slams, I can't let myself get mad anymore when the Cubs seemingly always get big home runs from the stiffs Caratini and Bote...wait..yes I can.

[willie key]

Saladino hit another grand slam? This is where you think maybe it’s the brewers year again

 

It’s nice to see this offense get back to where no deficit is too much like it was early in the year

[Eye Black]

I promise if Jeffress can get a save here I won’t say a single negative thing about the Brewers bullpen for the rest of the week.

Wow, you know it’s Monday right?
