2019-08-06: Brewers (Anderson) at Pirates (Brault) [Brewers win, 4-3 -- Anderson with another solid outing; Faria pitches two scoreless in Brewers debut; Albers notches the save]

Absolute worst guy to have up here...he will first pitch swing...prove me wrong Orlando! deliver!

[adambr2]

Right handed pinch hitter please.

 

We don't have one.

[yourout]

That will do.

[Brewcrewin07]

Yup...EVERY time in these situations for him...EVERY time.

[adambr2]

Yup...EVERY time in these situations for him...EVERY time.

 

Again, we don't have a right handed pinch hitter, and if you PH for him, who is playing SS the last 3 innings?

[adambr2]

That will do.

 

I mean, with our pen, it probably won't, but I'll definitely take that from Arcia.

[Bulldogboy]

Right handed pinch hitter please.

 

We don't have one.

That is the point I'm making. Not having one is silly. You have to have someone to swing a bat right handed off the bench in a big spot. Good ab by the kid though.

If you're going to go lefty/lefty with a pinch hitter 2 on and 2 out I think Yelich probably would have been the better call. What are you saving him for? Does one at bat really ruin his scheduled day of rest?

[Brewcrewin07]

I get that, wasn't asking for him to be PH for, just for him to not swing at the first pitch every damn time in those situations.

Yelich isnt used to hitting with guys on base so you save him for a time with no one on base

I'm guessing if Arcia strikes out and it's still 2-2, Yelich is the guy with 2 outs. Just my hunch.

It was a productive at bat. No complaints from me.

I’d rather had Yelich with guys on instead of that. Are we saving Yelich for a bases empty plate appearance in the 9th?

I don't disagree really but that wasn't really the worst time for it. It was a "put it in play" AB.

Welcome to the game Moose!

[adambr2]

Moose making up for earlier misplays.

Moose making up for his previous blunders.

[Bulldogboy]

Hey now!! A reliever.

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

Decent inning there by Faria. Good to see.

 

I was hoping that the velocity would be a little better, but he was consistently at 94. Not a ton of movement on his pitches, but just enough.

[folly412]

I'm going to need to see more of Faria to determine whether giving up endless Jesus puns was worth it. Looked too much like a Guerra clone that inning for my tastes.

[MrTPlush]

Poor Jon Lester and his fantasy owners.

[Slippery_Pete]

What happened to Cain?

Fouled a ball off his knee. He stayed in, and on his fly out to center he had an adventure to first that included stumbling and lots of hobbling.

 

So in other words, pretty much his normal look.

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

Poor Jon Lester and his fantasy owners.

 

Seems odd to me that Maddon is leaving his veteran starter in for a baby seal beating.

[jason21nl]

Thought for sure that was gone

[adambr2]

I did not think that had any shot of staying in the ballpark.
