Game Thread (4/12/2022): Brewers (Lauer) at Orioles (Watkins) - 6:05 PM CDT

[folly412]

Hook and Couns sure didn't have the starters ready for the start of the season, eh?

[Eye Black]

Brewers have now given up 24 runs on just 30 hits this season.

Welp, that was a disastrous inning.

Seem to hear that comment every game his year. 1-4 is not that bad of a start.

16 two out walks. 4 games worth of innings.

[Sixtolezcano]

Just swing away. Get this game over quickly.

[Sixtolezcano]

He was out.

I agree, Mancini appeared to have the ball in his barehand with his foot on the bag. I’m shocked they didn’t review it.

[Sixtolezcano]

That wasn’t as easy as a grooved grand salami Rock.

[yourout]

Battle of the inept.

[yfinn6]

Good thing the Orioles are junk. 

[BillScottCanRake]

Odd innings are best
For the Crew from Milwaukee
Hope this one goes nine

[Opening Day]

Not that it matters, but I feel like runs scored on errors by the pitcher should be considered earned runs.

[BruisedCrew]

A couple more gift runs. Not only the bad throw, but the Orioles not challenging that play at first. 

[yourout]

Brewers starting pitchers must have one of the worst
ERAs in baseball so far.

Why would a fielding error by the Pitcher make a run an earned run compared to a fielding error by the LF?

[yourout]

 

Fully expect a wild pitch/pass ball here.

[Eye Black]

Lauer with 71 pitches through 3 innings, but at least gets out of trouble there.

[adambr2]

Nice work by Lauer. Super frustrating game because he's been really good other than a bizarre 4 batter stretch but that's all it took.

Looks like the Twins game will be rained out and my wife has to work late so the universe just cleared my schedule for me. 

While the view of the skyline is nice, Brewer fans everywhere just shook their heads when the Twins decided not to do a retractable roof.  I'm still thawing out from April games at County stadium...

[NBBrewFan]

I blink and the top of the 4th is over.  Did every hitter swing at the first pitch and make out?

25th out of 30.  5.50. Royals at 7.15.

Personally, I don’t care for retractable roof stadiums so rainouts don’t bother me. Of course, I live in the metro so travel isn’t an issue.

Also, the primary reason the Twins didn’t build a retractable roof is because it literally wouldn’t fit on the footprint of Target Field, which would have meant no downtown stadium.

Because if the LF makes an error it isnt the pitcher's fault.  If the pitcher makes the error it is the pitcher's fault.

[Brock Beauchamp]

Cain’s apparent defensive agelessness is fascinating. 

[yourout]

Was looking at some of Wongs hitting videos from last year.

He has always had some front leg lift but I think its worse so far this season.
