2021-08-11: Brewers (Burnes) at Cubs (Arrieta) [Brewers win, 10-0 -- Burnes strikes out 15 and doesn’t allow a walk; Burnes also ties MLB record with 10 consecutive Ks]

[Eye Black]

Right knee discomfort doesn’t sound promising for Rowdy Tellez. I wonder if it happened when he was sent home on Cain’s double in the 1st inning, it looked like he was maybe a little surprised he was being sent and slowed as he approached 3B and kicked it back into a higher gear as he passed the bag.

Braves trying to blow this game…..5-3 now runner on 2nd nobody out

[rickh150]

Dropping like flies…. a couple of relief pitchers and a couple of position players on IL or pulled out of lineup just today……. Pull Burnes.

[jason21nl]

I don’t care about any more Ks. Just want this game over as quick as possible now

Vogelbach is raking on his rehab assignment. Nice to have insurance.

[endaround]

Not to jinx it, but this looks to be the 12th win in 15 games versus the Cubs this season. The Brewers tend to only have the that type of record versus the Pirates.

It’s too bad Corbin won’t get to chase 18-20 strikeouts against these guys.

[folly412]

Terrific outing. If he was on the extra rest or this was a close game, he's might be able to go the distance. Tonight, pull him.

[yfinn6]

13Ks, with potentially 9 outs to go. His pitch count is still in good shape. It's all gravy now.

[adambr2]

BA: "Will he go back out for the 7th? We'll see!"

 

He's at 67 pitches, Brian.

I was just looking at the box score to see how many and was like “only 11?” But I was looking at Arieta hits given up

[AKCheesehead]

When I see Ortega come up I think of those old commercials.

 

Si Ortega!

 

Cornthenticity!

[PinaMadness]

The bullpen shouldn't see any more than one inning tonight.

[LouisEly]

Darn it. Really wanted the record breaker.

Did the others get them all swinging? All 10 for Burnes were swinging. He may have the record for most consecutive swinging.

Both Nola and Seaver had a mixture of swinging and looking. Burnes holds the record for consecutive strikeouts swinging.

[willie key]

Not excited to see tellez go down.

 

I guess vogelbach is going to get a chance to save his season

[Eye Black]

Reds down 5-3 in the 9th and facing Will Smith with their 2-3-4 hitters due up.

 

Edit: Winker strikes out to begin the inning.

Do we know it's a significant injury? With the lead and Burnes on the mound it could have been precautionary. All they said was "discomfort".

[willie key]

I’m sorry

 

The blue jays home run jacket is stupid. And that is not a “get off my lawn” old timer post

 

Sometimes stupidity needs to be called out

[Underachiever]

Votto ties it in the ninth

[pacopete4]

Joey Votto doing all he can for the Reds.

[Eye Black]

Votto ties it in the ninth

He looked like he barely swung hard at that one. He’s on a heck of a home run streak lately.

[BruisedCrew]

Wonder why they show a 2nd game for Nationals @ Mets as postponed. But game 1 was 9 innings, 7-6 after 7 innings.....

 

If nobody answered this, Nats-Mets was not a doubleheader. They finished a game that was suspended yesterday after one inning, and then the regularly scheduled game was rained out.

Votto ties it in the ninth

 

Mannn he’s been so good

[BruisedCrew]

His second two run HR of the night.
