2021-08-22: Nationals (Nolin) at Brewers (Houser) [Brewers win, 7-3 -- Escobar leaves with hamstring injury]

[yourout]

Escobar 3 for 22.

Need him and rowdy to snap out of it and back to normal.

[82brewcrew82]

Just about everything hit hard. They keep doing that and the runs will come.

[PinaMadness]

Disappointing to be letting this Nolin guy off the hook. We really need to cash in while he's still in the game.

[wibadgers23]

1 run on 4 million hits so far.

[Underachiever]

At least he didn’t walk the lead off guy

[BruisedCrew]

At least he didn’t walk the lead off guy

 

He’s getting more efficient. We could save even more time by just giving them a runner and dispensing with the pitches.

[JET15]

Another knock for Thomas... ugh

[PinaMadness]

Seriously, how has Brewers pitching turned Lane Thomas into Pete Rose?

[Underachiever]

The mystery that is Lane Thomas

[BruisedCrew]

Another knock for Thomas... ugh

 

By my count he’s been on base in 8 of 11 PAs in this series.

[JET15]

Hard to blame Wong for that play at second

[pacopete4]

Pina not good enough offensively to make errors.

[BruisedCrew]

Then a gift run to counter all of the hard hit balls the Brewers have had.

[markedman5]

That hurts…..not Housers fault on the errant throw but he needs to stop putting the lead off runner on base every inning……that will eventually bite you and it did there.

[wibadgers23]

Lane freakin Thomas. We should be up about 4-0 right now and instead it’s tied.

[JET15]

Unexpected to see Bell make it to third on that hit. He got a good jump

[nate82]

This umpire might want to go and get his eyes checked.

[JET15]

Strickland has been a great pickup. He's come into some jams and got us out

[ThisIsMyCrew]

Strickland has been a nice under the radar acquisition.

[markedman5]

How good has Strickland been since we picked him up for spare change?

[Eye Black]

Have to admit, I doubted the likelihood of success with bullpen acquisitions like Boxberger, and more recently Strickland, but they have both proven me wrong by being consistently solid nearly every time out.

[Eye Black]

Via Adam McCalvy:

 

Hunter Strickland since coming to the Brewers from the Angels: 1.25 ERA, 22 strikeouts in 21 2/3 innings, 26.8 percent strikeout rate, 0.78 WHIP.

[phnxcrew]

Can we please

Stop sucking against average and bad lefties? What in the crap already

[BruisedCrew]

You must be mistaken. When I mentioned a few weeks ago that the Brewers had trouble against lefty starters I was told that I didn’t know what I was talking about.

[JET15]

If Nolan would plunk JBJ, we'd be in business. But somehow I think this will be the end of the inning.
