2019-09-20: Pirates (Brault) at Brewers (Anderson) [Brewers win, 10-1]

[sveumrules]

The inability to score runs without help from the other team is likely going to end any playoff run this year again just like last year

 

We outscored the Dodgers 24-23 last year in the NLCS.

 

So much for run differential.

About one-third of those were gifts from grandahl.

Arcia? Cripes

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

Dang it Orlando ... he giveth, he taketh away.

[MrTPlush]

Where are you going Arcia???

 

Can’t wait till Stearns finds someone else to play SS. Stop running out that train wreck. Does something good and takes a lead halfway to 3B. That was on another planet of dumb.

[willie key]

What a terrible inning

[yourout]

Brault would probably have a complete-game if they weren't trailing.

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

It's going to be funny next year when Tyler Saladino is hitting .210 in June as this team's starting SS.

[wibadgers23]

I can’t imagine this offense going against Max Scherzer in a potential wild card game. Yikes.

Is spangenberg under contract for next year?

[MrTPlush]

Chase Anderson in the 6th, third time through the order? Mind is blown.

Good pitching beats good hitting. That and a few clutch hits at the right time can win a lot of games.

Jeez, who is getting injured for that to happen?

What does good pitching do against bad hitting though

Yes, but I can't imagine they are going to roll a below average defensive SS out there next to Hiura on a regular basis.

[MrTPlush]

The Nationals are 13-13 in Scherzer starts, including a 3-5 loss to the Milwaukee Brewers.

Free agent market for SSs is quite dismal looking. If we are tossing Arcia aside, Saladino might be the next man up.

[Oxy]

Ace Chanderson is back?

[sveumrules]

I can’t imagine this offense going against Max Scherzer in a potential wild card game. Yikes.

 

We beat the Nationals 5-3 when we faced Max earlier in the year.

 

Yelich was 1 for 4 with a single & walk, but we still had Shaw/Aguilar starting so that kind of cancels it out.

 

Plus Chacin pitched for us.

 

Anything can happen.

[BruisedCrew]

I kinda feel for the Bucs. We've been there done that.

 

I remember the part from the old musical Damn Yankees where Applegate, the devil tells Lola to repeat his mantra “Never feel sorry for anybody. Never feel sorry for anybody...”.

 

Once you start feeling sorry for a team they’ll come back and bite you.

 

"Whatever Lola wants Lola gets" (isn't this song from that musical?).

 

Yes, along with the classic “You’ve Gotta Have Heart”.

The only thing more dismal than the SS free agent market is our current SS. He has arguably been one of the Top 5 worst players in baseball the last two years that has started nearly every day.

 

Of course trades are always possible too.

We’ve beaten him before. Our lineup is better vs RHP.

[Bulldogboy]

Huge inning here. Got to score before Perez ab.

[willie key]

Who knows if we would even face Scherzer.

[MrTPlush]

Huge inning here. Got to score before Perez ab.

 

We scored two of our three runs on a Perez AB?
