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]

[SomewhereInTime]

Storms brewing out west. Probably about 1.5 hours away.

 

Just get through 5 and we can rest easy.

 

Either way with the new rules this game will count, there is no more starting a game over if it doesn't go 5 innings, but yeah it would be nicer to just get an easy 5 or 6 inning win or something.

[wildcat83]

How many two man group combos have been working tv Brewers games on Bally this year? Has to be a record…

 

Is Rock on vacation?

[JET15]

I can’t figure out who’s worse right now - the Pirates or the Cubs. Both are just awful.

 

Right, and I sometimes even feel badly if we run it up on the Pirates, but not the Cubs.

 

More pleeeease

Looking at the radar now, it looks like a possibility of a brief delay, but this game will get finished tonight

Regarding tellez, both Escobar and Peterson could use reps at 1b while tellez has more than enough. Could be part of the thinking.

As many as lineups CC has thrown out, it seems. You think they'd just have a dedicated B team by now.

[rickh150]

Consecutive K’s streak? Doesn’t like Brian Shouse or some lefty from 10 years ago have that over several appearances?

[jason21nl]

This has to be miserable for a guy like Contreras

[pacopete4]

New franchise record. Might as well go get the MLB record tonight.

[jjfanec]

10 straight within one game is the record from what I could tell

[SomewhereInTime]

That is as good of a four innings pitched as I've ever seen.

[markedman5]

Throw in the towel Mick!

[pacopete4]

Well… 1 more to tie the MLB record and 2 to break it.

[titletownking]

Watching Burnes pitch is such a pleasure. “How can you not be romantic about baseball”

[wibadgers23]

9 K’s through 4 IP with just 42 pitches. That is nuts.

[Bulldogboy]

Incredible stuff. Can't believe what is happening.

Purposely the forward K to indicate swinging? It's 9 in a row swinging, not just striking out.

[Underachiever]

Garcia left hand contusion.

 

That's great if true, but can they really diagnose it that quickly? I would think it needs x-rays at a minimum.

Probably just stating the obvious kinda like elbow discomfort for Curtiss yesterday.

I hope not like Curtiss.

Year of the pitcher.

[HarveysWBs]

If it were me, I’d go up there to bunt just to avoid being a footnote in somebody’s record book page, but obviously, I hope the Cubs go down more valiantly.

[yourout]

Wonder what the record is for combined consecutive strikeouts by 2 teams.

[jjfanec]

Moose has left 7 on base tonight!

[rickh150]

Mitch Stetter… 2009… 15 consecutive strikeouts over several appearances.
