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

[willie key]

Wow, Narvy got all of that one.

 

Edit: After watching how truly bad Narvaez looked last season it has been a pleasure to watch him be the exact opposite this season.

Rather lead the league in that.

 

 

Definitely. If there were four of those a game

[OldHeidelberg]

Allright, cmon Anderson we need 7 today.

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

Untimely miscue is one way to put it

 

Dude is typically very good in right field. Seems like a fair assessment to me. Not real sure how else it can be described. It's a catch that Garcia likely makes more than 99 times out of 100.

 

 

Oh boy

 

Oh boy? Not real sure what you are getting at here? He messed up. It was a big one. It sucked. It doesn't take away from the fact that he's having a very solid season both offensively and defensively for this team.

I switched to SF broadcast cuz the home one is brutal. They actually were heaping praise on Uecker that last half inning. Said one of biggest downfalls of the covid restrictions for him was not being able to travel to Milwaukee to see Ueck in person this series.

Looks like narvaez isn’t mailing it in.

Good thing cuz the rest of the lineup has all of a single.

[PinaMadness]

If this keeps up the game will be over an hour from now. If only every game was played in less than three hours.

There will be days like that.

Right, those are mail it in days.

[DuWayne Steurer]

Anderson is at 63 pitches after 5 innings, so if he stays out of trouble, he *should* be good to go for 7 innings. Cueto is at 70 pitches after 4 1/3. Be nice to get into that Giants pen early, given that they used every single guy last night.

[yourout]

Would be curious to know what percentage of innings that the Brewers score in have either a walk or an error.

[DuWayne Steurer]

Right, those are mail it in days.

 

 

What is that based on? Just your own assumption that they aren't trying as hard as they should? I mean, Johnny Cueto isn't some chump pitcher.

Would certainly me nice to see this team tag a decent pitcher once in a while, though. Of course, these guys are decent for a reason.

[yourout]

Why is Anderson not bunting?

[pacopete4]

Mail it in days are days you don’t get hits? Bad take.

[Eye Black]

I’ll give Anderson some credit, he had a competitive at bat versus Cueto. Saw 6 pitches.

Run up the pitch count if nothing else. Cueto is up over 80 pitches now.

[pacopete4]

5 hits / zero walks (1 run) vs. 4 hits / 1 walk (3 runs)

 

Who is mailing it in?

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

Mail it in days are days you don’t get hits? Bad take.

 

I think it's more than that. The ABs have looked better over the last couple innings, but they didn't look like they were really interested for the first three. Of course, after taking it on the chin in last night's game, that is somewhat understandable.

To deliver a performance without commitment or effort, with lackluster results.

[yourout]

Even a 3-0 pipe shot fastball and the yelich can't square it up

[jason21nl]

Way to make em pay Yelich…..yesh

Without effort? How do you know this? Again, what are you basing this on? The fact they don't have hits? This is major league baseball. In 162 games, there's going to be MANY games that they "don't have hits". They aren't giving effort because in four innings they only have 2 hits? What??

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

Even a 3-0 pipe shot fastball and the yelich can't square it up

 

Yep ... he hits that ball about 475 feet a couple years ago.

[igor67]

While there is some value in getting to 3rd, my super hazy recollection is that even a .100 chance by swinging away for a pitcher is going to be worth more. No double play worries certainly helps. And the pitch count. Cueto being a veteran might be allowed to rack up the pitch count more, but it does look like it would be difficult for him to go more than 6 innings today.

[adambr2]

My God, Yelich is bad.
