2021-04-17: Pirates (Cahill) at Brewers (Anderson) [Brewers win, 7-1 -- Offense explodes early; Anderson goes 7.0 IP allowing 0 ER while scattering 6 H & 1 BB]

[trwi7]

Someone like Brad Miller, who is not a fantastic player but can hit (103 career OPS+), and is versatile, got 3.5M in this market for 2021.

 

Why don't we fill out our bench with players like that? Why does it always need to be someone named Scrappy Nostick in the lineup every day every time we have injuries?

 

To be fair, they took that approach last year with guys like Sogard, and it was pretty much a failure.

 

You're comparing apples to atom bombs. Sogard is a much worse hitter who was a starter.

[ReverendBrewmeister]

Hit rockets for outs; hit bloopers for RBIs. Whatever works.

 

Edit: Now some hard hits fall in. Good start tonight.

[JET15]

McKinney Fan Club is gonna grow tonight

[markedman5]

That a boy Urias!

[Soupbone]

Does anyone miss our old 3B coach?

[pacopete4]

Fun start to this one.

[adambr2]

I like the improvement I'm seeing lately out of Urias. The numbers still aren't great but you can just kind of see things coming around for him.

[Cool Hand Lucroy]

Do you think Burnes gets mad at Anderson for stealing all his run support?

[markedman5]

That a boy Jace!

[trwi7]

All kinds of Jace in your face. Sounds gross but I'm sticking with it.

[Cool Hand Lucroy]

The split between the guy's BA and OPS right now is crazy. If you ever wanted an example of how AVG can lie, it's him right now. Wild.

Best 3B coach is the one you don't even notice.

[markedman5]

Travis Shaw: 104 mph out

Avisaíl García: 72.2 mph RBI single

[TURBO]

Having Bradley get hot now would be a great thing!

[markedman5]

Ok JBJ.....that’s more like it!

[PinaMadness]

Game over.

[markedman5]

This is more fun then yesterday

[PinaMadness]

Can we get 20 tonight?

[xisxisxis]

Can we get 20 tonight?

Would that be a Lindbloom-proof lead?

[TURBO]

POUR IT ON!

[Harold Hutchison]

Here's a trivia tidbit:

Last 7 games for Keston Hiura: 19 AB, 5 H, 4 R, 2 2B, 1 HR, 5 RBI, 4 BB, 6 K for a .263/.462/.526 slash line. The OPS: .988.

 

We didn't notice, but he's made a very nice rebound from an 0-for-19 start to the season.

Ball just jumps off Hiura's bat...assuming he makes contact

Anyone having issues watching this game in WI. My parents aren’t able to watch tonight on Spectrum. Weird. It’s not on National tv is it?

I have it on Spectrum, but it's on Bally Sports Wisconsin Plus. Way up on channel 310 for me in Appleton.
