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]

[adambr2]

Inning should have been over. But Curtiss looked atrocious. He did not look okay.

[Underachiever]

Good teams punish your mistakes.

[Eye Black]

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.

Yeah, the inning would’ve been over if he just went to 2B. Tough unraveling from there.

[BruisedCrew]

This has to be his last hitter no matter what

 

Doesn’t really matter any more.

[trwi7]

Well, that was a debut.

Bad instinctive decision by Adames. Bad umpiring by CB. Just not our night. Go get the rubber match tomorrow.

[PinaMadness]

The good news is the Braves have alternated wins and losses since the All Star break so we will win tomorrow.

[rickh150]

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

 

“Soup pitched good.”

 

A flip to 2B gets him of it.

[magnoliacrew]

Why have I spent 3 hours listening to this game?

[Underachiever]

Go Mets!

[rickh150]

Reds up 1 in bottom of 9th….

One on, Biaz up… no outs.

[Underachiever]

Go Mets!

Jeez, I’m pulling for javy Baez right now. I’ll shower later

[LouisEly]

Go Mets!

Jeez, I’m pulling for javy Baez right now. I’ll shower later

Typical Baez, swinging at ball four.

[Cool Hand Lucroy]

Go Mets!

Jeez, I’m pulling for javy Baez right now. I’ll shower later

Typical Baez, swinging at ball four.

 

Twice.

[LouisEly]

Good Lord, Hembree has been wild as hell but the Mets keep swinging at pitches well out of the zone.

[Underachiever]

Good Lord, Hembree has been wild as hell but the Mets keep swinging at pitches well out of the zone.

Can you assume the ump will call it a ball?

[nate82]

Typical Baez, swinging at ball four.

He swang at ball 4 twice. Whoever signs him in the off-season good luck because he won't be worth the contract he will get.

[magnoliacrew]

Go Mets!

Jeez, I’m pulling for javy Baez right now. I’ll shower later

 

I am pleased to still pull against Baez.

Buckner isn't umpiring that game.

[PinaMadness]

Very true. Maybe their home plate umpire has been just as bad as Bucknor, but you could say that about pretty much every umpire.

[adambr2]

The Mets suck. They're a below average team without DeGrom. With him on the shelf for awhile, they'll end up pissing that division away.

I don't know how Atlanta isn't running away with that division.

[Underachiever]

Doolittle is terrible, isn’t he?

Update: The home plate umpire ejected Suarez earlier. I wonder why.

[rickh150]

Mets tied it.
