2021-09-24: Mets (Megill) at Brewers (Lauer) [Brewers win, 5-1 -- Lauer gives the Crew 6.2 solid innings; Wong, Adames, & Yelich each homer]

[wibadgers23]

Surprised to see Lauer still in the game.

 

I’m not. The bullpen stinks right now and Lauer has settled down nicely. Still under 100 pitches.

[adambr2]

Did anyone think there was any possibility at all of Lauer getting through 6 today after the 1st inning? Wow.

[Joseph Zarr]

Thank You Mr. Lauer! Great stuff. Incredible transformation he has undergone this season. Just incredible.

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

Cubs load the bases with no outs ... score one run. Devil magic.

 

9-4 Cards going into the top of the 6th. Cubs are at least putting a little offense together.

Surprised to see Lauer still in the game.

 

As tempting as it might be to send him out for the 7th....at 100 pitches it's probably time to make the switch.

[nate82]

Lauer reminds me of Tom Glavine in some ways. Not eye popping stuff but finds away to miss bats.

 

More like a better fastball Jamie Moyer.

I'm trying to figure out who they are going to make the switch to, though. Have to think Boxberger, Ashby and Cousins are off limits.

[yourout]

Any word on how Rowdy is doing?

I can see that.

[OldHeidelberg]

Thank You Mr. Lauer! Great stuff. Incredible transformation he has undergone this season. Just incredible.

 

Yes I wanted to complain about Burnes not starting tonight but Lauer and Houser have earned their spots. Impressed that the K’s have been going up for Lauer as well.

Strickland if he's around. Suter. Hader. Did Cousins pitch Wednesday? I would think he would be good if CC needed him.

[SomewhereInTime]

This is surprising. I can't remember the last time Counsell has sent a guy back out there with 100+ pitches.

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

Wow, Lauer taking his AB. Counsell wasn't kidding about the pen being short handed tonight!

[Cool Hand Lucroy]

CC going to let Lauer at least try to get an out here. Williams needs to come back fast. It's pretty thin when Hader can only go an inning.

[Joseph Zarr]

If we manage to pull out this 'W' our Magic number is 2?

[willie key]

This is surprising. I can't remember the last time Counsell has sent a guy back out there with 100+ pitches.

 

 

Why didn’t he send houser out last night

I was wondering the same thing. Might have tried to get too cute yesterday, and it burned them.

[TURBO]

Exactly...

[owbc]

This is surprising. I can't remember the last time Counsell has sent a guy back out there with 100+ pitches.

 

Why didn’t he send houser out last night

 

Based on his facial expressions he wished that he had.

[SRB]

It doesn't necessarily correlate with single-game pitch count, but interesting to note that Lauer is probably one of the few guys on the pitching staff who is nowhere near his career high in IP.

[Joseph Zarr]

Any word on how Rowdy is doing?

 

I believe I heard tonight (?) CC saying he has a decent chance of joining the Big Club on their 6 game road trip upcoming?

[wibadgers23]

If we manage to pull out this 'W' our Magic number is 2?

 

Yes, assuming the Cardinals hold on to win their game tonight.

[AKCheesehead]

I thought for sure it would be the end of Eric’s night.

[TURBO]

Not sure it's the best move sending him out there with 100+pitches though...

 

Just so uncharacteristic.

 

Pull Houser, who was cruising after 6 with 81 pitches, let Lauer go, who is cruising, with 100 pitches.

 

Just weird decision making by CC.
