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

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

Can't screw up like that against a good team like the Giants. Too many screw ups looking like they are taking a possible sweep to a 2-1 series loss. Baseball is unrelenting sometimes.

[Eye Black]

The mental and physical errors from the Brewers the past week haven’t been a lot of fun to watch. Giving away outs on defense, and now giving up outs on offense.

[brewers888]

And just to add, if it is injuries, Mark A and Sternes should've done their homework before handing out that kind of cash. I don't like thinking he was successful because of being tipped off, but that's what I believe. It's been a near two year slump. You don't ever see nosedives like that.

 

That signing was pure Mark A emotions based. There is no way that Stearns was the one that pushed that deal. Now Mark A is going to have to bite the bullet and keep a higher payroll to make up for his mistake.

When does Adames bat in the ninth?

[adambr2]

Bottom of the order coming up in the 9th too, so not feeling great about this one although I guess other than Bradley it's not terrible.

 

Got to get someone on and then take a shot with Adames.

[rickh150]

What a series, though. Hopefully, we can pull this off yet. Close games, games hanging on every pitch it seems. We’ll feel rich when we add all these arms back.

[DuWayne Steurer]

Yeah... forget the "against good team" stuff. You can't make mistakes like that against anyone.

[Underachiever]

This is a game thread. Start a separate Yelich contract thread. It has nothing to do with this game.

Just this^^^^.

I didn’t think the Giants were a more talented team than the Brewers coming into this series, and nothing I’ve seen in the past three days has changed my opinion. The Brewers sort of their own worst enemy the past two days, and kudos to the Giants for taking advantage of the extra opportunities they were given.

[pacopete4]

The base running mistake may cost a chance for Adames to get an AB. Hope we can get a guy on for him to knock in.

[igor67]

Without Brandon Belt, Sanchez would have just wrapped up a save for the series sweep against the Giants no extra inning craziness...

When does Adames bat in the ninth?

 

For JBJ if the first two go down. For the pitcher if one of the first two gets on.

The "good news" is that these are --one hopes-- correctible problems.

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

Good chance here for Avi to atone for last night.

[adambr2]

Urias wasting no time making an out.

[Eye Black]

Miguel Sanchez has now pitched a scoreless inning in 6 of his last 7 appearances. Yesterday’s outing was the outlier among his recent success.

Something good is going to happen here

 

Edit: or not.

[yfinn6]

Thanks Norris.

[adambr2]

Well that was easy. For the Giants.

 

Lead down to 5. They better get it together.

Well, you didn't say for what team.

Yeah, the Giants are leaving town.

[Nola Beery]

A very lamentable loss of game and series. No excuses.

[BruisedCrew]

And the Brewers get to play these guys 4 more times on the road. I’d rather be playing the Marlins.

[rickh150]

Bring on Lindblom…
