2021-09-11: Brewers (Burnes) at Indians (Plesac) [Brewers win, 3-0 -- Burnes (8 IP) & Hader (1 IP) combine for NO HITTER]

[adambr2]

Burnes seemed OK with the decision. I hope he genuinely is.

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

Why send him out there in the 8th with an already high pitch count just to take him out?

 

That's what I don't get. It makes sending him out for the 8th look even dumber in hindsight.

[DuWayne Steurer]

Dumb call, in my opinion. If you are trying to monitor his pitchcount why let him go 115? Another 10 pitches for a huge fan milestone is not a big difference.

 

 

I mean, a bigger fan milestone is making and winning a WS, which we're much less likely to do without Burnes, or with him ineffective.

[lcbj68c]

Wow. It's been fun Brewerfan, but I might be done following baseball at this point. Not the game I enjoyed as a youth.

 

 

No. Disappointed. Been trending that way for about 5 years.

We are about 1,000 times closer to Burnes pitching a no-hitter in this game than we are from Burnes throwing 125 pitches rather than 115 pitches costing us the World Series.

[adambr2]

Yeah, I mean he already has gone 115. I really don't know what difference there is going to be between 115 or 130 to just see what happens. You're going to give him a couple extra days off most likely anyway.

 

Maybe Hader's agent called and reminded Craig that it's a save situation.

[PinaMadness]

The walk to Straw is what ultimately did Burnes in. If he gets him out, Burnes is in for the ninth for the perfect game.

[Brewcrewin07]

How ridiculous, no one cares about a combined no hitter....except maybe in little league. Let him finish it for cripes sakes Craig.

[FVBrewerFan]

Sorry, this sucks. Going 130 pitches every outing? Sure, bad idea. But one time? I'll take the risk/ reward.

[Fear The Chorizo]

Again, Burnes was on cruise control the entire game, not really having to rack up a ton of pitches in any particular inning early....then he waltzes through a 10 pitch 8th and that's when you pull him?

[yfinn6]

No. Disappointed. Been trending that way for about 5 years.

 

You're upset during the season where they're a franchise high games over .500 with the horses to win the WS.

 

Well okay then; nice to know I can ignore you and your laughable takes.

[HarveysWBs]

Again, he is setting a career high for innings every time he takes the mound. This team has bigger aspirations than no-hitting a subpar Cleveland team. I want a title.

[Underachiever]

It’s not an either/or. These discussions on pitching always come down to “rest him or ruin him.” There’s a lot of grey area.

[wibadgers23]

Just imagine if Hader blows the game.

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

Disagree completely. A no-hitter is a no-hitter. And the Brewers haven't had one, combined or not, since 1987.

Eh. Again, he looked strong in the 8th. I really doubt he's suddenly going to be lost with 10 more pitches. It doesn't hurt anything to have Hader loose and go to him the moment he gives up a baserunner.

[SeaBass]

This is disgusting. Nolan Ryan would throw 200+ pitches every start.

 

 

Nolan Ryan is a once in a generation pitcher.

And we're not allowed to find out if Corbin Burnes could be too.

[folly412]

"That's the most important thing, to get the victory"

 

Considering the standings, I politely disagree with Rock on this one.

We are finding out. During this whole season.

Ah, I dunno. It still matters yes. It's definitely not as special as an individual one.

[phnxcrew]

Doesn’t make sense to not

Send him out for the 9th. We’ve been incredibly

Careful with all these guys. Let him have a moment and let

The team enjoy it as well.

[DuWayne Steurer]

I agree with this. It'll be cool. Not as cool as if Burnes had been able to finish.

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

The kid fan in my agrees with you. It would be awesome to see Burnes get it. But the big picture fan in me sees the logic in this.

[DuWayne Steurer]

Holy crap Jace.

[PinaMadness]

Yes, I understand CC pulling him even though if he was going to he should've done it last inning, but if Hader finishes this off without giving up a hit I don't consider this a real no hitter.
