2021-06-12: Pirates (Kuhl) at Brewers (Burnes) [Brewers win, 7-4 -- Crew comes back to score 7 unanswered runs; bullpen covers 5 scoreless innings]

Burnes with the hustle

[BruisedCrew]

This day would be complete with Burnes getting hurt running the bases.

[JET15]

Geez, take it easy, Burnsy

[JET15]

Another good reason for hitting gloves... sliding after tagging first base... LOL

[BruisedCrew]

I really hope Burnes didn’t hurt himself there.

 

He hit the bag awkwardly and looked like he might have twisted his knee.

 

He might be too embarrassed or stubborn to show it right away, but I would be watching him closely to make sure he isn’t favoring something.

[Eye Black]

Why in the world does Burnes continually try to kick ground balls behind him with his heel. I’m sure it’s just a reaction, but it cost him runs in the 1st inning, and would’ve been a disaster again there if he would’ve been close enough to make contact with it.

[markedman5]

Man can Yelich run….great send by Lane

[folly412]

Yelich can still fly.

Yeah I doubt he does it consciously, it's hard to stop an instinctive action.

 

Hey Narvy comes through. Keep chipping away boys.

[BruisedCrew]

Yelich can still fly.

 

That’s one thing he does as well as ever.

[markedman5]

No luck for JBJ

[Cool Hand Lucroy]

Back in it. Kuhl struggling. Need to put up some zeroes. I don't think 4 wins it.

[Simba2020]

Nice tidy 1:30 for 3 innings.

[markedman5]

Nice tidy 1:30 for 3 innings.

 

That’s about the same amount of time that the 3rd set took in the Nadal /Djokovic tennis match yesterday.

 

The quality of the viewing was a bit different however……

[Simba2020]

Burnes finally looking like himself.

 

And then he gives up a hit to Kuhl.

[BruisedCrew]

I think the home plate ump is tiring. He’s starting to call strikes that he wasn’t calling an hour and a half ago in the first inning.

 

I hate being at games with this guy behind the plate because if your seats are behind the plate you can’t see his strike call, which is both delayed and with his arm in front of him.

[BruisedCrew]

Take your time covering the bag Robertson.

[markedman5]

Robertson has to get to 2nd on that play…..come on Dan.

[Simba2020]

This game is just.....odd.

[BruisedCrew]

This game is just.....odd.

 

The scrubs at 2B and RF aren’t helping.

[igor67]

I feel like Vogelbach stealing home to win the game would complete the weirdness well today.

[JET15]

This game is just.....odd.

 

and long... only half way through the belly of this beast

[Eye Black]

Need Yelich to come through with the bases loaded for the second day in a row.

[ReverendBrewmeister]

Clear the bases, Yeli!

[markedman5]

Yesssss
