2020-09-14, Game 2: Cardinals (Ponce de Leon) at Brewers (Burnes) [Brewers lose, 3-2 in 9 innings]

[Eye Black]

Everything with Burnes is low. He needs to change their eye level with some high strikes. Pull out the four seamer.

The four seamer is the pitch he got crushed on last year. He’s only been throwing it 3% of the time this year.

This is the same Brad Miller who had a cup of coffee with the Brewers two years ago? Don't recognize the stance at all.

Yeah, he’s actually been very good for the Cardinals so far this season.

[stoutdude04]

Miller has been really good for the Cardinals.

What else is new...

[adambr2]

Great job by Burnes avoiding damage. I'm sure he was well aware that a single there very possibly ends the game with this offense.

[brewers888]

Perfect game is broken up

How in the flying you know what can you look this bad against ponce de Leon

 

Come on.

[adambr2]

Miller was never a bad player. Not a great one, but not a bad one. For comparison sake, he has a slightly higher career OPS+ than Mike Moustakas.

 

Never understood how guys like Miller can get a short leash and sent out on the street and we give a guy like Sogard numerous chances and he manages to hang around forever in the league.

Perfect game is broken up

 

Just asked my buddy if anyone has ever been no hit on back to back days.

[brewers888]

No hitter is broken up

[Eye Black]

This would be a good time for a Christian Yelich Keston Hiura extra base hit.

 

Edit: The batting order being different from the first game is messing me up, apparently.

[markedman5]

Another no hitter dodged!

[Lostpawn]

Hiura coming up, to strike out again...

[MrTPlush]

That’s an error to be honest. May get scored a hit, but really no excuse for him to not get the ball.

[brewers888]

Hiura right back to swinging through fastballs

[markedman5]

Right down the middle

[TURBO]

That’s an error to be honest. May get scored a hit, but really no excuse for him to not get the ball.

 

dude.

[TURBO]

He should have tagged that pitch... Keston needs a nice long off season to re-group.

Come on.

 

I am not sure there isn't a starter in the Bigs that can't make them look bad.

[brewers888]

He needs some of the Haines magic

[adambr2]

Wow, Keston. That was terrible.

 

We do know this guy is s bum, right? This is an absolute pitching mismatch on paper.

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

I am so sick of watching Keston Hiura hit. What a disappointment he's been. If you want to get him out, just throw fastballs down the middle. He'll swing right through them

 

 

 

 

 

I know this isn't 100% ... I'm just venting. I know he one the game 1 1/2 hours ago.

[Lostpawn]

Hiura might need Ricky Vaughn’s glasses from Major League.

[adambr2]

Keston saw 3 pitches from Ponce De Leon, and 2 of them were middle middle mistake BP fastballs that any competent hitter is going to hammer.

 

This isn't a "tip your cap to De Leon" situation. Our hitters are just stinking up the joint.
