2021-06-01: Tigers (Boyd) at Brewers (Lauer) [Brewers lose, 10-7 -- Crew hits 5 HRs including 2 each from Wong and Taylor]

[PinaMadness]

I hate Shoop. Very much.

[markedman5]

yeah let’s just not insert Lauer randomly anymore. Give him consistent starts or don’t, very hard to succeed in this role.

 

That’s the job…..somebody needs to do it…..he had no trouble in his other starts.

[wibadgers23]

With this offense, I think it’s safe to find something else to do tonight. There’s no way they’re scoring 6+ runs.

[adambr2]

Weird decision to throw two meatball fastballs in a row to two straight batters.

 

That's what happens when you can't locate your pitches and are forced to choose between walking guys and just laying it down the middle.

 

Freddy Peralta can get away with that at times, Eric Lauer cannot.

[folly412]

That's one back.

[jason21nl]

The crew is going to win this game

[brooks_quichenick]

Nice to get one back right away at least. Good stuff Tyrone

[Eye Black]

Keston swung through a ball he should’ve hit to the moon.

[SeaBass]

Only need 5 more solo HRs and we'll have the lead.

[adambr2]

Middle middle 94 MPH fastball. From a lefty. Strikes Hiura out.

[wildcat2237]

Keston swung through a ball he should’ve hit to the moon.

 

 

Tayor HR, annnnd then Hiura whiff....

[PinaMadness]

Keston swung through a ball he should’ve hit to the moon.

Seems like a recurring theme.

[trwi7]

I hope Lauer keeps doing what he's doing but I don't think there has ever been a point where Lauer has been more valuable than Davies.

 

Lauer | 22 IP | 2.45 ERA | 167 ERA+ | 0.5 WAR

Davies | 50 IP | 4.65 ERA | 82 ERA+ | 0.0 WAR

 

Lauer has been more valuable than Davies so far in 2021.

 

Well, this backfired.

[jason21nl]

Just kidding. They’re not winning

[adambr2]

Just kidding. They’re not winning

 

I assumed you meant a moral victory.

[folly412]

He was left in? I mean, most of us have no confidence in the offense to get to 7 and beyond, but seems like the manager wouldn't concede that after two innings.

[trwi7]

At this point you might as well let Lauer eat it and save the bullpen a little.

[jason21nl]

Sure looked like Yelich gave up on ball

[wildcat2237]

Richards, yuck.

[Soupbone]

This is like an batting practice for the Tigers.

[Underachiever]

Well, I was going to Home Depot in the morning, but since they are open until 10, I might as well get that errand done tonight. Tidy little 66 pitches in 2+ for Lauer.

[SeaBass]

Adventures in pitching continues.

[folly412]

If wasting Houser down 5 was an option, why didn't he just start?

[adambr2]

Boyd cannot seem to figure Brewer hitters out.

[magnoliacrew]

The crew is going to win this game

 

I'm with you. Let's go Crew!
