2021-06-06: Diamondbacks (Smith) at Brewers (Burnes) [Brewers win, 2-0 -- Burnes records a career high 13 strikeouts; Crew sweeps the Dbacks]

[yourout]

I think burnes should attack the top of the zone a little more often with a four seamer to get guys off of his cutter.

Even if it's out of the zone

[wibadgers23]

Burnes probably has two more innings at most. Hopefully the offense can get him some runs before we turn it over to the pen.

[Eye Black]

Willy Adames’ line drive out to left field had a .890 expected batting average.

[Eye Black]

The amount of hittable pitches in the zone Keston has swung through this season is deflating. It sure doesn’t seem like something that’s on the verge of being corrected at this point.

 

Alright Robertson, Crew is finally on the board.

[ClosetBrewerFan]

Hiura gets sent down after today, right... Please?

Hiura gets sent down after today, right... Please?

Thought for sure it was happening prior to this series but hopefully it will happen now.

2 more k's today. Not sure how much longer the madness can go on.

[Eye Black]

Well Urias missed the first one right down the middle, but thankfully not the second one.

[Sir Illo]

A timely base hit would be very welcomed right now. Let’s get it!

[BruisedCrew]

The announcers really insult the viewers when they make comments to the effect that Hiura has had some good ABs and just needs to see a ball fall in. If he got a hit on every ball he hit hard his average would be closer to .150 than the .120 it’s at now.

[Eye Black]

Another awful inside pitch call against Adames. Smith should just try to locate all of his pitches in Bellino’s blind spot.

[BruisedCrew]

Need a hit here to get 2 runs in. Otherwise having Burnes standing in the 90 degree sunlight could be a negative.

[yourout]

While they have been scoring a few more runs lately Brewers batting average is still dead last in the national League by a fair amount at .209

[JET15]

And the NL average has gone up to .235

 

Edit: .241 for non-pitchers

[BruisedCrew]

That should be it for Burnes. Another strong outing that is now in the hands of the bullpen.

[Simba2020]

I'm putting the odds of Burnes being the winning pitcher at less than 50%.

 

EDIT: That helps Tyrone.

[yourout]

I'd be tempted to try and squeeze one more inning out of him today.

[JET15]

How can a game with so few hits feel so long?

[folly412]

If Hader isn't available, I think Burnes has to go back out. A combination of Milner/Boxberger/Suter/Williams to cover three innings isn't encouraging.

[yourout]

Boom.

Taylor's swing is geared for down and in.

[JET15]

A little insurance from TT

[Eye Black]

I know he had a bit of a slump prior to going back to Triple-A, but Tyrone Taylor looks like a major leaguer to me.

[folly412]

Taylor's crushing the ball after the recall (actually, since being optioned down). Not sure if he tried an adjustment, brief change of scenery, or just the natural ups and downs.

[magnoliacrew]

Thank goodness Keston.

[homer]

that had to feel good, Keston
