2021-08-08: Giants (Cueto) at Brewers (Anderson) [Brewers lose, 5-4 -- Anderson exits with calf cramping; Misplays cost the Crew down the stretch]

DH can’t come soon enough

[Eye Black]

Cramping for Anderson?

 

Edit: A knee or ankle maybe?

[DuWayne Steurer]

Man, if Anderson is hurt we could be in some trouble. Ouch.

[yourout]

Great. Another pitcher heading for the DL

[wildcat83]

Right, those are mail it in days.

 

So if they don’t get hits they’re not trying hard? Saying a professional athlete has “mail it in” days is an awful take. They’re at this level for a reason and playing for potentially millions on their next contracts. Guys who have mail it in days aren’t in the league long if ever.

[pacopete4]

Anderson has been pitching so damn well too. Damn.

[Simba2020]

Apparently Yelich has been mailing it in for two years now. In all seriousness, I don't even expect an OPS of .700 from him the rest of the way.

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

Brett Anderson has been completely as-advertised the last two seasons. Solid, above average starting pitcher ... WHEN HEALTHY. He always seems to be battling some sort of nagging injury.

[yourout]

Ug....

[82brewcrew82]

Uh oh. Fandom police on the prowl today.

[jason21nl]

What the hell was that Urias? My god.

[PinaMadness]

And that's why Urias has seen his PT diminished. He's still a liability defensively.

No doubt. Guy has made more than 19 starts twice in the past 12 years.

[trwi7]

We're at the point where you can't even trust Urias to fill in as a backup SS once every few weeks.

[Eye Black]

Seems like a lot of times when Urias does the take-your-time, exaggerated side arm throw at shortstop is when the ball sails 12+ feet in the air.

[Underachiever]

Sorry that I offended you on behalf of the Brewers. I made an observation after a nine-pitch inning. It’s not sworn testimony, but a comment in an IGT.

[Nola Beery]

Did that throw from Urias look as bad on TV as it sounded on the radio? Oh dear.

[Cool Hand Lucroy]

Curtiss, Norris, Box, Williams.

 

Cannot be giving away outs.

[yourout]

You think he was never coached to throw over the top everything is a sidearm.

[pacopete4]

Uh oh. Fandom police on the prowl today.

Fandom police? It was a poor take. Own it.

[yourout]

This is not going to end well.

Be lucky if it's not at least a three spot.

[JET15]

And its the routine plays that seem to be his nemesis

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

I don't get it. He looks fine at 3B. Good even. Fine at 2B too. But yet he goes to SS and is a trainwreck. It must be a mental thing. I can't think of another explanation.

[jason21nl]

Now Curtiss can’t throw a freaking strike

[82brewcrew82]

Uh oh. Fandom police on the prowl today.

Fandom police? It was a poor take. Own it.

Sorry, this a pretty lackluster performance. Haven't seen anything to change my mind. It is my take and I do own. I'm allowed to have it we will have to agree to disagree about whether is was poor. You do you though. I will wait for you to tell me how I should perceive games before commenting on them in the future.

 

I think your comment is the worst take in the thread.
