2021-04-21: Brewers (Houser) at Padres (Lamet) [Brewers win, 4-2 -- Crew completes the series sweep]

[SeaBass]

Holy moly I thought we were toast that inning.

[SRB]

Boxberger's role was to clog the basis so that Myers and Caratini would be too aggressive and strikeout swinging. All according to plan

[xisxisxis]

Russian Roulette is a great game, 85% of the time you don't die...

[adambr2]

JP is fine as your 3rd guy given their options. Not sure how he'll look long term but he's getting it done now.

[mtrebs]

JP needs to be in you top 3, I think. Right now, I trust him as much or more than anyone not named Hadet.

 

What about Hader?

[yourout]

Not too often you can strike out 16 times in a game and have a chance to win

[OldHeidelberg]

oof 5 K's for Garcia

Platinum sombrero?

[sarcasm]Isn't that like our average?[/sarcasm]

[BruisedCrew]

Unfortunately, loading the bases in the 8th will bring the Padres back to the top of their order in the 9th.

 

Hopefully Hader can keep Tatis and Machado from coming up as the tying or winning run.

[folly412]

Garcia gets rewarded with the rare platinum one

 

[adambr2]

Keston Hiura as a defensive replacement? Don't think I've ever seen that one before.

[Eye Black]

With Hosmer on deck I’d be pretty careful with Machado.

[brooks_quichenick]

Hader's lucky that was just a double

[LouisEly]

With Hosmer on deck I’d be pretty careful with Machado.

I'd rather keep the winning run on the on-deck circle.

[jason21nl]

Not sure I pitch to him

[yourout]

My mind is envisioning a hosmer three-run walk off.

[BruisedCrew]

I really didn’t want to see Hosmer as the winning run either.

[SRB]

My mind is envisioning a hosmer three-run walk off.

 

Well Hader can't keep a 0.00 ERA all season. I feel like we're playing with house money though, since we've already won the series.

[Cool Hand Lucroy]

Rather get beat lefty on lefty, I guess. Take your shot.

[phnxcrew]

I wonder why a guy who rarely pitches would be rusty...

[adambr2]

Hate walking the winning run to the plate. I don't care if you have to throw a fat pitch, don't do that.

[yourout]

Hader has lost it.

[adambr2]

Cool, now Hader is all over the place.

[Eye Black]

With Hosmer on deck I’d be pretty careful with Machado.

I'd rather keep the winning run on the on-deck circle.

Yeah, that’s a good point as well. In a bit of trouble now.
