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

[brewers888]

Regardless of what happens the rest of this season a new hitting coach has to be the first move of the offseason.

[folly412]

Did they turn off the fake crowd noise? Not even fake fans can manage to cheer for this team now?

[brewers888]

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.

 

Its so frustrating because he has elite bat speed and should be a great player for us. I still believe in him but we need a new voice to get the best out of him.

[brewerfan82]

Wasn't there some new rule this year about not throwing the ball around after a strikeout? Did Nottingham not get the memo? Or did they ditch that one? I've never seen someone behind the plate chuck the ball so hard after every strikeout, lol.

[stoutdude04]

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

 

Talking about Garcias hit up the middle? No way that's an error. Ball gets funky spin too.

He's a professional. He's gotta figure it out. It's on him. Hard to blame Andy Haines when Hiura can't hit a fastball right down the middle.

Bad play by Urias, then a bad throw by Nottingham.

 

It's not enough for our hitters to just not hit, now they're looking to actively give away runs in the field, too.

I thought he was talking about the one off Ponce De Leon's calf...

Yea, same one. For sure a hit.

[TURBO]

pitch count getting up there for Corbin. I don't think we are going to see 7 innings tonight.

 

Way to get out of it Mr. Burnes!

[Eye Black]

Wow, they are absolutely playing with fire but so far it’s worked out.

[markedman5]

Burnes bowing his neck there.......really picked up Urias

[pacopete4]

Let’s score some runs!

[Lostpawn]

Burnsey is playing with fire, but so far he’s getting away with it. I hope the Crew get some runs, real soon.

[adambr2]

Masterful job by Burnes. Defense did him no favors, but he worked through it.

[Lostpawn]

Wow, they are absolutely playing with fire but so far it’s worked out.

Jinx!

[markedman5]

Pitch count going to get Burbes after 1 more I think.

 

All of those close pitches for balls early in counts.

[TURBO]

He knows that even giving up one single run could be a loss.

Maybe Ned Yost can dig his DVD player out of storage and try to get it changed.

[markedman5]

Yelich gets a terrible strike 2 call

[TURBO]

Remember last year, when every time Yelich came to the plate, you thought something good was going to happen?

 

That was awesome...

[Lostpawn]

Yelich looked so frustrated after that 2nd pitch. Then he blew the 3rd. Gotta keep composure.

[adambr2]

Going to go out on a limb and say Christian Yelich isn't going to be anywhere near the MVP conversation this year.

[brewers888]

Its almost a surprise when Yelich doesn't strike out twice a game.

[Lostpawn]

Remember last year, when every time Yelich came to the plate, you thought something good was going to happen?

 

That was awesome...

But... do you remember when you were in the Beatles?
