2021-05-02: Dodgers (Urías) at Brewers (Bettinger) [Brewers lose, 16-4 -- Nottingham hits a pair of home runs]

[OldSchoolSnapper]

Time to hit the exits, what a waste of time.

 

You’re there? That stinks to pick this one when most others have been such good games.

 

I'm there as well and can't leave for at least 2 hours lol

[folly412]

I'm guessing Reyes can pitch as well? He's going to get to.

I made yesterday’s game too...so at least I can’t leave with that.

Can some baseball historian confirm or deny that Alec Bettinger is the first MLB player to give up grand slams in each of his first two innings?

[82brewcrew82]

They all count the same, just gotta take our lumps today and use it to our advantage to give rest to anyone who needs it. I'll take 3 close wins followed by a blowout loss all season.

Exactly. There was going to be a cost for all of the injuries at some point. Taking 3 our of 4 against the Dodgers, regardless of today's score is a win.

Well, mookie Betts is 0-2 against him so maybe he can be a playoff mookie Betts specialist...

 

Problem is the 3 batter minimum.

[DuWayne Steurer]

The comeback starts now!

2-out Mookie specialist. The inning-ender.

As long as those lumps don't mean physical lumps adding to the IL...

Kind of disappointing that as good as we have been playing after today we are likely only going to have a 1 game lead over the suddenly hot Cardinals

Has anyone given up 9 runs in a debut? 7? Has to be the first to even give up 2 in a game for a debut.

[markedman5]

Even Lux getting hits …..now that’s a sign he doesn’t have it…..

[markedman5]

Reyes trying to win the gold glove in this game alone…..my goodness

[brooks_quichenick]

Pablo Reyes... pretty impressive defense today, wow

[MrTPlush]

Is Reyes known for defense? Dude is on fire today.

[markedman5]

Levering “ Can you imagine what the score would be if Reyes hadn’t made those plays?”

 

Me “ Shut up Jeff”

[folly412]

A bright spot! Welcome back!

[Eye Black]

Happy for Nottingham, he tattoo’d that one!

[Underachiever]

So, I turned it on top of the third. Bettinger puts up a zero, and Nottingham goes yard. Brewers up 1-0!

Allan Travers gave up 24 runs in his one and only game. That was a game where the rest of the Tigers boycotted the game after Ty Cobb had been suspended and they fielded a bunch of semi-pros.

So Bettinger is no Allan Travers……he’s got that going for him…..which is nice…..

Nottingham with as many homers as Hiura.

Beaty has more RBIs than Hiura this season

The Brewers are just helping the Dodgers get their bats going for their series at Wrigley tomorrow. Craig is playing chess while everyone else is playing checkers.
