2020-09-24: Brewers (Burnes) at Cardinals (Kim) [Brewers lose, 4-2]

[yourout]

And yet, more runs are scored per game now than when they used to bunt all the time.

 

Keep in mind the new stadiums are much more hitter friendly as far as foul territory and short porches.

Velocity seems to be down a tick on top of poor location.

[BruisedCrew]

The end is near.

 

The Brewers really needed a win tonight with a strong outing from Burnes and they aren’t getting either.

[vetter]

Not saying they have to bunt all the time. But a bunt once in a while after a leadoff double might not be a bad thing.

And pitchers throw harder than they ever have. All of them.

[Eye Black]

I didn’t think that would be a catchable ball off the bat, so for the moment it feels like a bullet dodged.

[ThisIsMyCrew]

The brewers have zero players batting over .270.

Not really the case as the stadiums are about the same dimensions wise since the 80's.

[yourout]

That could have been much worse.

[Eye Black]

The bad news is this Burnes start isn’t going as hoped.

 

The good news is it’s somehow only 1-0.

[ReverendBrewmeister]

Lots of bullets dodged. Down 1-0 after all that traffic is a good escape.

[Bulldogboy]

I'm definitely not a bunt all the time guy but considering all the factors that was a prime spot for it. Urias isn't hitting and the guy on the mound has an era under two. It would be huge to take the lead for once. I just don't get it.

But then I see us at the plate and it feels like it’s 10-0.

That’s not necessarily true. To me the argument is if current baseball can played with a more contact based strategy then it is now. Maybe it can’t because of the style of pitching

 

But to make a blanket statement that 2020 baseball scores more run than other styles because we’ve figured out the analytics from other eras isn’t true

[Eye Black]

So far this home plate ump has been solid on the ball/strike calls. That definitely seems like a rarity this year.

 

Edit: Literally the second I hit submit he calls Braun for a strike on a pitch well outside the strike zone. LOL.

The next guy struck out. The following guy had a soft liner. Run still doesn’t score.

[pacopete4]

All Hiura needed was a thread.

[Eye Black]

The Brewers hitters are really getting tied up on that four seamer that’s low and inside.

[stoutdude04]

Gyorko is so slow. Lol.

If all he needed was to put a ball in play instead of getting a hit it changes the ab. That goes without saying.

[pacopete4]

Big knock!

[markedman5]

Needed that

[Eye Black]

Thank you for a terrible throw from the outfield, because Gyorko looks like he only goes in one controlled, slow speed.

[ReverendBrewmeister]

Gyorko runs the bases like a Clydesdale.

[Bulldogboy]

Gyorko is slower than me. Wow. Huge hit Taylor.
