2021-06-28: Cubs (Hendricks) at Brewers (Peralta) [Brewers win, 14-4 -- Crew breaks tie with 10-run 8th inning]

What a joke.

[PinaMadness]

Robo umps, please.

[markedman5]

Come on ump!

[jason21nl]

Are you freaking kidding me???? These umpires are just awful.

[Patrick425]

Baez shows patience and gets rewarded on a clear missed call.

[LouisEly]

Looks like pitch 6 to Baez was so good it even fooled the ump. That was strike 3.

[adambr2]

Why are MLB umpires so bad?

[folly412]

Nice Pineapple impression from Omar.

[trwi7]

I think he's out and there's no way you can overturn the call on the field.

[adambr2]

Javy should have struck out on 2-2, and then on 3-2.

 

Nah, 2-2 was a good take. 3-2 though? Yeah, he absolutely should have been rung up.

[PinaMadness]

Justice prevails in the end.

[wallus]

Remember last season when a few vocal posters thought Omar was terrible? Ha.

[stoutdude04]

Narvaez has really been impressive. The guy most of us expected last year, but with some much improved defense!

[phnxcrew]

Thanks Baez for correcting that horrible ball 4 call. I hope the Cubs resign this guy for ten years/350 million. He’s the most overrated player in baseball, IMO

[PinaMadness]

Nice Pineapple impression from Omar.

Often imitated, never duplicated.

[adambr2]

I think he's out and there's no way you can overturn the call on the field.

 

I thought he's probably safe but agree with the second part. Should have been struck out anyway.

[Patrick425]

Good thing Baez is a Moron. Hey Javy, your best hitter is currently at bat, why don't you risk getting thrown out?

[markedman5]

For those questioning the Brewers 6 man rotation commitment

 

[AKCheesehead]

Well, I just learned something.

Not sure I'm getting the point. He's only given up 2 runs in 5+ innings. Threw his hardest pitch in the 5th inning. Also, I'm not arguing that we shouldn't be careful with Innings pitched for our pitchers. I'm saying let's be strategic about it. Wins in August and September don't count for more than wins in any other month. However, wins against teams we are battling against for the division title do count more than wins against non-division opponents since it's not only a mark in the win column for us, but also one in the loss column for them. I think we can get to the same targeted innings pitched and pitch count at the end of the season by making better decisions on which stretches during the season we are going to provide rest and which we are not. Why bank it all for the end of the season? The end of the season may not mean anything if we don't win key games against division rivals during the rest of the season.

[markedman5]

Oh look Freddy settles down….gets through 6 innings in a big game….only the 2 runs.

 

Not bad for a guy who will never be more then a 3 starter…….

[adambr2]

Not many 3s can give you 6 innings and strike out 8 and give up 2 runs on 2 hits in under 95 pitches on their bad day.

[Underachiever]

Great job, Freddy. Way to work through not having your best stuff.

[Bulldogboy]

Just read the fangraphs article on Jimmy Nelson becoming a bullpen monster. Did not know he was having that good of a comeback season with the Dodgers. Had he not gotten hurt picture him with the other three guys we have. Man. Brewers have developed some pitching of late.

[Bulldogboy]

Peterson has done a decent job this go around.
