2021-07-31: Brewers (Woodruff) at Braves (Muller) [Brewers lose, 8-1 -- Blown strike 3 call precedes Braves HR to break tie; Curtiss falls victim to some bad luck while getting tagged for 5 runs]

[Underachiever]

Time for some 8th inning magic.

[yourout]

Bats just really struggled today. Guys were scattered on the bases but just couldn’t get that big base hit.

 

And Woo on the mound. For whatever reason they just don't score runs when he's on the mound.

[Underachiever]

God, I hate Freeman.

[areacodes]

Don’t understand Reyes here instead of Tellez. Rowdy rakes against lefties.

 

And Reyes couldn't hit a position player.

 

Sure about that? I’m pretty sure he hit a double.

[yourout]

Freeman has one of the best strokes in the bigs.

Sure about that?

 

That was him the other night wasn't it.

[adambr2]

Curtiss sure sounded a lot better on paper than he actually looks in his debut. Poor command and at least two hanging sliders.

He looks a little uncomfortable on the mound tonight. Hopefully he finds a way out of the mess.

[trwi7]

That was very close to being an absolutely brutal play by Garcia.

Yeah he does. I don't mean to suggest I didn't like the trade or anything, just doesn't seem to have it going in his first game here.

I edited my post since the image didn’t show up for me, but he hit a double against Nogowski.

[rickh150]

2B throw?

[adambr2]

Defense matters.

[yourout]

That was very close to being an absolutely brutal play by Garcia.

 

Yeah he didn't get behind that ball at all.

[titletownking]

Other than the throw out really hasn’t felt like anything went our way tonight.

[BruisedCrew]

Never seems to take long for playing a player out of position to be costly.

[adambr2]

Joke to call that a single.

[yourout]

This has to be his last hitter no matter what

[Eye Black]

Escobar sort of lucky he didn’t get his right hand stepped on as he reached for the ball on the ground as Soler was running by.

[Underachiever]

It’s possible that a taller first baseman not making his debut at the position might have gotten that ball. That said, not sure why Adames didn’t go to second.

[PinaMadness]

Well, that'll do it.

[yourout]

Oh well can't win them all

[titletownking]

Umpire and self inflicted. Curtiss was ok. Defense let him down.

[JET15]

Welcome to the club, Curtiss

[pacopete4]

That’s good for me tonight. The ripple effect of a blown call is pretty crazy.
