2021-04-18: Pirates (Kuhl) at Brewers (Peralta) [Brewers lose, 6-5 in 10 innings]

[sauveb]

It would have made more sense to have someone else pitch the 9th, then pinch hit for that pitcher and let Hader pitch the tenth. Hader is by far our best choice for the runner on second situation and if he gets through with few pitches he could possibly go the 11th.

clap-clap-clap

 

Solid thinking...

[BruisedCrew]

Have to hope to hold them to no more than one.

[Cool Hand Lucroy]

If you believed someone else could clean through the top of the Pirates order, then yes. Maybe a double switch with Narvaez if you want to push Hader. Edited April 18, 2021 by Cool Hand Lucroy

I don’t think you make that call when you can lose the game in the 9th. Especially when Hader hasn’t thrown in days now.

[JCREW]

Anybody else see how shiny the thumb of Rodriguez’ glove was?

 

It looked like he went to the thumb for substance during the Robertson AB.

[brewcrewdue80]

Well JBJ on 2nd will be a nice start. I was worried Vogelbach would be the last out. Can we put up 1 more 0 here and walk it off in 10th please?

 

Edit welp ended quickly. Just walk the guy. What does Moran have a good 7RBI this series?

Moran again. Crazy.

[roadcrew3]

Only 13 pitches from Hader that inning too. Coming off few days rest...if Counsell were ever going to use him more than 1 this would be perfect opp.

 

Nope, Narvey pinch hitting for him.

 

Too bad Hader was scheduled to hit. Maybe CC let's him pitch another inning if he wasn't supposed to hit.

 

Wonder if a double-switch might’ve happened Taylor for McKinney if we hadn’t pinch hit Taylor earlier in the game. Not a knock on Counsell, just the way the game unfolded, but curious how strict they are being with Hader as a 1 inning guy now.

[pacopete4]

Is there no earned run given in those situations?

No earned run yes.

[yourout]

Frasier, Reynolds, and Moran are the next gen Phillips, Votto, and Bruce as far as Brewer killers go.

[magnoliacrew]

Bogelvach will walk it off in the 10th!

[MrTPlush]

Well, like college football, hope to just tie it up and live for another round. If we score two even better!

[mtrebs]

Why is JBJ still on second?!?

[BruisedCrew]

*** JBJ. Had to be at third on that.

[trwi7]

Really stupid not to tag there.

[mtrebs]

It was hit deep enough for any major leaguer to advance easily to third.

[Eye Black]

First time the Brewers lost a game this season in which they scored 4+ runs. This one stings a bit.

[MrTPlush]

We definitely did not play like we wanted to win...can’t score a guy from 2nd with zero outs two innings in a row and can’t run the bases correctly. Then lose with the bat on the shoulder. Losing a series to the Pirates, kinda brutal.

[mtrebs]

Losing this series hurts. Pirates continue to give us fits.

[TURBO]

No explanation as to why JBJ didn't advance on the deep fly to right?

 

Geez.

[BruisedCrew]

That is a rough series loss. Brewers have to stay afloat with this current lineup and they have a difficult week on the road coming up.

[adambr2]

Love Travis, but come on man, take a rip. Can't be up there guessing 3 times in that situation.
