2020-08-29: Pirates (Brubaker) at Brewers (Anderson) [Brewers win, 7-6 -- Hader blown save; Sogard hits walk-off HR]

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

Hader gets the win, thus RAISING his trade value!

Williams got the win.

 

Hader had too many walks tonight. Brewers are gonna have to sell low now.

[SomewhereInTime]

That was way more fun than a boring 1-2-3 9th from Hader.

Williams got the win.

Yeah, I lost my mind momentarily. Great job by Devin Williams to stop the bleeding and give them a chance.

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

That was way more fun than a boring 1-2-3 9th from Hader.

 

Kind of like a leisurely cruise in the country and being involved in a 100-mph police chase are both fun.

[PinaMadness]

BREAKING NEWS:

 

Richard Rodríguez has just been DFA by the Pirates.

[wibadgers23]

Now let’s go out and win 12-0 tomorrow because I can’t take another game like this!

[TURBO]

Sogard will start the rest of the season. Cool.

 

Counsell will sit Sogard next game. His reward to HR hitters.(or is it punishment?)

 

That rule doesn't apply to Sogard...

 

Sogard just bought another 10 straight starts with that dinger, and possibly another 2 year extention.

[sdcheezhd]

And Kimbrel's 3d WP of the inning is a walkoff

It just bought him 2 more years.

[PeaveyFury]

Yeah tonights blowup shouldn't lower his value but it probably will. The move will most likely have to occur in the offseason if at all.

 

It won't. GMs of contending teams aren't idiots.

 

They are idiots for the most part which is why I think we can get a monster package but Hader has walked a ton of guys this season and that can scare GMs off when the price is so hig to begin with.

 

The Dodgers’ front office personnel are the literal opposite of an idiot, so that’s not a valid rationale.

[pacopete4]

Better than Villar...

I think this has been proven wrong so many tunes over. Huge mistake by Counsell.

[markedman5]

Shoutout to Jzce Peterson for that catch in the 9th

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

And Kimbrel's 3d WP of the inning is a walkoff

 

Every other team in this division being mediocre is going to keep this uber-mediocre Brewers team in the playoff chase right up till the end.

No props for Sogard? Not Even tonight?

[NYChez]

And Kimbrel's 3d WP of the inning is a walkoff

So Hader was only the 2nd most wild NL Central closer tonight.

[markedman5]

Urias lol

 

[adambr2]

Someone between us, the Cardinals and Reds will be in the playoffs. May as well be us.

No. None. When you give Villar his due, I’ll consider it.

[MrTPlush]

Eric Sogard hits a walk off from behind homer and we are talking about Villar?

 

How does that even happen? Honestly, what a weird guy to come up. Hate this long after he is gone? He had 4.5 WAR in a few short years here. Orlando Arcia has lime half that in half a life time here. Why? Don’t get it.

[sveumrules]

Someone between us, the Cardinals and Reds will be in the playoffs. May as well be us.

 

Yup, maybe even two.

 

Right around 58% playoff odds from both 538 & FanGraphs after tonight.

Because reasons

[SRB]

Got to love Sogard for looking legitimately shocked after it left his bat and he realized he hit a HR

I’m not sure who was running around the bullpen, but I was doing the equivalent around my living room when it left his bat.

[brewmann04]

What a wacked out Game Hader implodes and Sogard saves the day with a walk off HR
