2021-04-24: Brewers (Peralta) at Cubs (Alzolay) [Brewers win, 4-3 -- Piña 2-run HR gives Crew the lead for good]

[adambr2]

Great to see Keston smoke that one.

[RollieTime]

The question is how many rental bats will we have to acquire and can we do it cheaply.

 

I don't think they need to rent bats other than maybe 3rd. They need to get healthy and they need Hiura to get better.

 

First base, shortstop, and possibly even another outfielder that can hit. I would love to see Hiura hit but I think he needs a new hitting coach and some time in the minors at the very least. It would be foolish to count on him this season.

 

Hiura says “hello!” with a double on cue.

[brewers888]

Bradley just has to be better especially for what we are paying him.

[Eye Black]

I honestly would’ve just stuck with Peralta if the alternative was Corey Ray.

 

Now please prove me wrong, Corey!

[brooks_quichenick]

How about a pinch hit game-tying HR here, Corey?

[brewers888]

I honestly would’ve just stuck with Peralta if the alternative was Corey Ray.

 

Now please prove me wrong, Corey!

 

Totally agree.

[adambr2]

Now if Bradley could do anything productive whatsoever, that would have been a run instead of a likely wasted leadoff double.

[adambr2]

Well that was a way better AB from Ray than what JBJ gave us.

[brewers888]

Never understood the Bradley signing.

[markedman5]

Ray forced a pitching change......way to go kid.

[brooks_quichenick]

Pretty impressive plate discipline there for a guy with such a high K rate in the minors.

[RollieTime]

Was it just me or was Ray not going to swing that entire at bat no matter what?

 

Good for him drawing a walk though!

Ended up being a productive at bat for Ray, and chases Alzolay from the game. Would certainly like to not waste a leadoff double for the second time today.

[CheezWizHed]

Curious to see Ray's swing. Still curious. Nice walk Corey.

[ThisIsMyCrew]

With four turns of the rotation in the books, Milwaukee starters are second in MLB with a 2.34 ERA, fourth with a 29.1% K rate.

 

and that includes Anderson’s 1 out game yesterday. Need runs!

[adambr2]

Oh Brothers.

[adambr2]

Fantastic AB from Omar.

[SomewhereInTime]

This is where that three batter rule is huge.

[Eye Black]

Alright here we go! This is why you put [checks notes]... Tyrone Taylor in the three spot!

[brooks_quichenick]

We don’t need no stinking hits!

[markedman5]

Tie game baby!

[CheezWizHed]

Ray's like... running bases in the MLB is easy!

[adambr2]

I want to see Contreras have a big post-game rant about Taylor not trying to get out of the way.

[adambr2]

Shaw is still not good.

 

I just watched you take a bunch of pitches in the 9th with the tying run in scoring position the other night and now you have an AB like that? Did you not just see him hit the last guy and walk the two before that?

 

Come on, dude.

Some great at bats that inning.
