2021-06-11: Pirates (De Jong) at Brewers (Woodruff) [Brewers win, 7-4 -- Crew draws 11 walks, meanwhile pitchers allow no walks]

[BruisedCrew]

Looks like we’ll be seeing Hader tonight after all.

[ThisIsMyCrew]

Atleast josh will get some work tonight…

[SeaBass]

Every time we play the Pirates there seems to be a moment where I think how are these guys so bad except against us?

[BruisedCrew]

Urias still can't consistantly make a throw.

 

That is concerning.

 

 

Did he have a lot of time to think about the throw? I missed it

 

No, he fielded a swinging bunt on the run and almost beaned the batter running up the line.

Honestly that is what I have been telling myself. That Urias only muffs a throw when he has time to think about it.

It was a tough play and Vogelbach should’ve caught it.

 

ETA: That isn’t to say it was a good throw.

[DuWayne Steurer]

Vogelbach messed up his footwork and left himself out of position to make a play on the throw.

 

It still probably pulls him off the bag but he's gotta catch it

[Eye Black]

According to Pirates broadcaster that was the first bases loaded double of Yelich career. That is a crazy stat.

Especially considering he has a career .281 batting average with the bases loaded (77 plate appearances), and has two triples, and two grand slams.

 

First time the Pirates had 3 straight bases loaded walks since April of 1984.

 

This guy is an encyclopedia of knowledge!!! Either that or he has a nerdy intern who’s good with a computer and the interweb....

 

Probably the second one...

Meanwhile back on the Brewers broadcast, Tim Dillard is just making up random fake stats during the between half inning segment.

[magnoliacrew]

So the way that you get around mound visit limits is to be concerned about an "injury"?

[SeaBass]

The Brewers have been regularly scoring 5, 6, and 7 runs over the last 3ish weeks but they haven't scored more than 7 since May 23rd. How about a snowman in June fellas?

[OldHeidelberg]

I guess Hader was due for some work but of course now we will need him the rest of the weekend.

[TURBO]

No excuse at this level to not call that ball...

 

That is Garcia's ball all the way.

[magnoliacrew]

You make my dreams come true!!!

[markedman5]

9 games over .500 for first time this season.

 

Well done boys

[sixtolezcano16]

The difference in this game is 11 walks vs. 0.

[BruisedCrew]

That was a pretty long and ugly game, but another win.

[willie key]

Summers are better when the brewers are winning

[sveumrules]

11 walks > 3 home runs

[rickh150]

Summers are better when the brewers are winning

 

And looking forward to the next game is a great feeling too....

[willie key]

Looking at the schedule. We play 6 straight games versus the reds

 

 

That seems kind of ridiculous. That’s like a playoff series

It's actually seven straight. July 8th-11th @ home, then July 16th-18th on the road, with the All Star Break in the middle.
