2021-08-21: Nationals (Espino) at Brewers (Lauer) [Brewers win, 9-6 -- Yelich blasts two home runs including grand slam for a 6 RBI day]

[sarcasm]We should lock up this Yelich guy to a long-term extension before his price gets really out of control[/sarcasm]

[Baldkin]

They said 454 for the estimated distance. Looked way short of that at the game

[Nola Beery]

I had to log on just to say, "YELICH!!! YAYAYYY!!!!!" This is all.

[Eye Black]

Yesterday was the first time I finally let my Yelich frustration out on the board, and now I wish I would’ve waited one more day.

Sanchez working himself back to Nashville

[HarveysWBs]

We’re going to mess around and get Hader a save here, aren’t we?

[BruisedCrew]

This is why, once Hader is warmed up, and you have an off day in two days, I bring him in and get the game over with. Now he comes in with the equivalent of a 2 run lead.

[adambr2]

Hader still hot? Good grief Sanchez.

[yourout]

Pull him

[markedman5]

Not good…..try to save Hader and the guy can’t get 1 out

Four hour game

Yea off day coming Monday, he's warmed up and hasn't pitched in a few days. Might as well just let him roll right away. If he'd been used a lot lately, sure sit him down. That said, it's not like doing it this was was egregious or anything, could go either way.

[BruisedCrew]

Just want you want when you enter the ninth with a 5 run lead. Josh Bell as the tying run.

[DuWayne Steurer]

Maybe Yelich shouldn't have hit that dang grand slam. Wouldn't have had the false sense of security coming into the 9th. Maybe just a 2 run single....

[igor67]

Sanchez has been good enough that should be in blue, but with the 3 batter rule there might actually be situations where fewer runs might be better.

[DuWayne Steurer]

yeesh....

[BruisedCrew]

No, bringing in your closer instead of fooling around would be better. Hader does give up runs some times.

[FidoMcCokefiend]

0-2 and you walk him. And now the winning run comes to the plate. Good grief.

[HarveysWBs]

Good grief, Josh

[adambr2]

I blame Sanchez for all this. Thanks for not being able to be trusted to protect a 5 run lead. Now Hader gets hot twice and had a long extended outing instead of saving his arm in late August.

[jason21nl]

What a joke this is

[yourout]

That's close enough. Time to end it

[DuWayne Steurer]

Good win. Good comeback, and glad to see Yelich (possibly, maybe) breaking out of his season+ long hibernation. That being said, Hader threw 25 completely unnecessary pitches and will almost certainly be unavailable tomorrow because of it. Stupid.

[rickh150]

Great day for Christian…

[adambr2]

That was honestly kind of a gross game that was saved by 2 amazing moments. Alls well that ends well, I suppose, and in the end it's a much welcomed W.
