2021-08-14, Game 1: Brewers (Anderson) at Pirates (Wilson) [Brewers lose, 14-4 in 7 innings -- Buccos pound out 19 hits]

[phnxcrew]

I’ll be ok with Anderson being gone next year. Lauer and small taking over the back end of the rotation makes me feel a lot better compared to the injury man

[titletownking]

Need an easy inning from Anderson here.

 

I am getting way too worked up about a still fairly meaningless August baseball game.

Does back to back base hits qualify as that?

[pacopete4]

Anderson has been fantastic this season. Today isn’t his day. Hope he can minimize the damage here.

[wildcat83]

I changed my mind, should’ve pinch hit for him…

[adambr2]

I know last inning wasn't really all his fault, but Anderson is not sharp today. Wouldn't have been a bad idea to take a shot at the lead w/RISP last AB and go to the pen early rather than try to squeeze more out of him.

We are just at the point in the season where losing a game to the lowly Pirates will throw us into completely irrational fears of a collapse. But not loving how this is going, 7 inning games are much better for us with the big 3 going.

[trwi7]

I guess this is our give up game.

Ehh, he gave up hard contact and fell behind hitters last inning too. There were a couple of slowly hit balls but he wasn't very good last inning either.

I think the Crew has more runs in them, but I might be fairly quick to go to, say, Strickland here soon...

Rare bad outing from Anderson.

[markedman5]

One of those games

[yourout]

Got to keep Reynolds in the park here to have a chance.

Eh, Anderson has been fine. Good, even. Peralta, Burnes, and Woodruff have been fantastic.

[OldHeidelberg]

Feels like one of those stinkers...

[adambr2]

Cousins hasn't even been in the same area code as the strike zone. This isn't looking promising.

His FIP is 4.5.

[Eye Black]

Well now the reverse sets in, I’d obviously be a lot more confident about a potential comeback today if this was a 9-inning game.

[yourout]

He's going to have to pipe one and hope he misses it.

Yes, thank you. This more or less supports what I said. Anderson has been fine.

[titletownking]

Cousins just can’t throw a strike. Thankfully Moran is up here swinging at everything. I like our chances if we can hold it to a 2 run lead

 

Edit: nice job getting the dp. Now hit that pen hard boys!

Monster double play there.

[PinaMadness]

That was much needed.

Good job keeping it within reach.

[ReverendBrewmeister]

Top of the order. Getting late in the game. Time to put up a 5-spot against the Pirates bullpen.
