Game Thread (6/09/2022): Phillies (Eflin) at Brewers (Burnes) - 1:10 PM CDT

[magnoliacrew]

Not ideal ending, but at least worked Elfin there and got pitch count up a bit.

[treego14]

Drats!  Rats!  Not one of our better at-bats!

[brewers888]

Would have been nice to score that inning. Willy missed a real hanger a few pitches earlier. 

[magnoliacrew]

Seriously though. I've got the sound off at work. What's going on with Burnes? He's way off.

[BruisedCrew]

Between last night and tonight it might be a good idea not to declare that we’re getting the good version of a pitcher in the first inning.

Burnes looks like he’s had it already.

Yeah, we jumped the gun a bit there but damn Burnes looked good in the first.

No one can hit him while he can't hit the zone.

He's imploded, 77 pitches in the top of the 3rd

[Brewcrew82]

Doesn't help that the ump missed a blatant strike three on Hoskins. That pitch was in the strike zone the whole way. Just get the dang robots already.

[treego14]

Good eye, LU!  We love you!

[treego14]

Good eye, Cutch!  A walk is as good as a single or HBP or other such!

[treego14]

Fielder's choice ... like kissing your sister ... not so good, but not a disaster!

[brewers888]

Another blown opportunity.

[treego14]

With that result, maybe Hunter should try being a bunter!

[treego14]

[brewers888]

Taylor had no chance at catching that. Nice job turning a single into a triple.

[treego14]

Not a good gamble ... hopefully, this inning is not already in shambles!

[BruisedCrew]

Another 30 minutes, another inning.

Phillies should be taking the lead here. 

[markedman5]

Taylor turns a single into a lead off triple…….

Needs to know game situation better there also. One thing to even try that with two outs, another when it’s the lead off batter for the inning.

Yeah, he really needed to cut that off. He wasn't particularly close and missed the hop, not the catch.

[Brock Beauchamp]

Well, got out of a leadoff triple.

[brewers888]

The bullpen is going to have to get us home today. 

[ReverendBrewmeister]

Burnes managed to pitch out of that. Get him some run support.
