2020-07-27: Brewers (Houser) at Pirates (Brault) [Brewers win, 6-5 in 11 innings -- Rally erases 4-run deficit in 9th]

[ReverendBrewmeister]

Need at least one more run here.

[Eye Black]

Runners at the corners, one out, Yelich up...

 

MUST. SCORE. RUNS.

[wildcat83]

Sogard! BF.net never stopped believing in you!!

 

I did a little, not gonna lie. Then I jumped on the bandwagon with that double, but sorta back off after the slide... He’s an emotional roller coaster.

Sogard has officially done more this season than he did in all of his 2018 time with the Brewers.

 

Didn’t he have a few key home runs right away back then?

[stoutdude04]

Frustrating watching Yelich right now.

[pacopete4]

Oh, Yelich. Wonder when the questions of health will start.

That was 2017. He was flat out terrible in 2018.

[stoutdude04]

Obviously would have been nice to get a 2nd run there. Ugh.

[Oxy]

This doesn't feel good.

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

Really wasted opportunity to hang a crooked number there. Kinda hate a 1-run lead with the runner on 2nd rule. Need another shutdown inning from the pen here.

[wildcat83]

Really thought the walk was Yelich starting to see it well, guess not.

[owbc]

I’m going to laugh when this game goes 15 innings.

[Eye Black]

I’m going to laugh when this game goes 15 innings.

I don’t necessarily want that, but it would be so incredibly fitting.

[BruisedCrew]

I’m still not convinced Yelich is seeing the ball well based on tonight’s performance.

[sveumrules]

Using 2017-2019 numbers for players like Cain, Braun, and Smoak and projecting them to this year is not very convincing.

 

ZiPS projects Cain at 92 OPS+ (an improvement over last year), Smoak at 106 OPS+ & Braun at 107 OPS+ (both right in line with our 1B production in 2019).

In lieu of having fans provide atmosphere, this extra inning rule makes for quite the drama.

This a regular season rule, right? I don’t think I could take it in the postseason.

[stoutdude04]

I agree! In a season of oddities...it seems to fit well.

I was thinking the same. I actually like the intensity it brings, but not sure I want it to decide a post season game or series.

[mtrebs]

What a win!!!

[Eye Black]

This game was exhausting, and I’m just sitting on my couch. What a great comeback, and amazing win!!

[ReverendBrewmeister]

Gut check win tonight. Maybe it can spark a win streak.

[BruisedCrew]

That was like stealing a game they had no business winning.

[Eye Black]

Time to go to bed.

Who wants to break it to him?
