2021-08-12: Brewers (Woodruff) at Cubs (Hendricks) [Brewers win, 17-4 -- Crew batters combine for 22 hits including 11 extra base hits and 5 home runs]

This is ridiculous

[JET15]

Such a difference being up by 12 makes. Wong sliding past third made me laugh instead of yell.

 

Luis would have had the Grand Salami though

Pina now has two more HR than Yelich. In half as many ABs.

I get Yelich is struggling but do we really need so many posts about it in an igt when the team is up 10? There is already a thread for it on the main page. Maybe I am in the minority but the Yelich stinks posts are feeling redundant at this point

My comment was much more directed at the "we need to upgrade backup C" contingent.

Wow Urias, Peterson, and Pina have 8 extra base hits and 14 rbis

[PinaMadness]

I now realize why the Brewers have seemed to have a pretty light schedule compared to many other teams.. they don't have to play themselves.

 

They are a damn good team and can win so many different ways right now.

Funny, I was just going to mention that even though the Reds have a much easier schedule the rest of the way, we have Pittsburgh and the Reds have the Phillies this weekend. Philly is playing really good ball right now, so if by the end of the weekend we can get the lead up to 10 or 11 games, the schedule shouldn't matter.

The run differential people may need to take a cold shower tonight

That contingent had been me. I have happily eaten crow.

[Underachiever]

My Bally app is behind, but the score just changed on ESPN. Can't wait for this at bat!

Okay, we won the trade.

[adambr2]

This may even out Woodruff's run support numbers for the season.

[TURBO]

We gave up too much for Norris.

 

yuck

[willie key]

This Norris guy is not very good.

[PinaMadness]

Norris is straight hot garbage.

[Guest]

If the cubs get 13 more of those it's going to be tied.

[PinaMadness]

Is it still too early to make judgements on Norris?

[wibadgers23]

I’ve certainly seen enough.

[jjfanec]

Atlanta takes an early 1-0 lead.

[TURBO]

I'd love to see the Reds go on a bit of a losing streak, and the Brewers just continue to "POUR IT ON!"

[adambr2]

Poor Daniel Norris is going to be the one guy feeling crummy after a 16-3 win.

3 relief pitchers with at bats……..It’s probably happened before but I can’t remember it…….especially by the 8th inning

They actually had four earlier this year.

[tomwopat]

If a manager were to replace the pitcher with a position player already in the game, would they get the opportunity to warm up or would they have to start pitching immediately?

They get to warm up. I learned that from Joe Maddon a couple years ago.

[magnoliacrew]

Relishing the prospect of the all-time Brewers-Cubs series being at 198-197 in favor of Brewers.
