Hiura vs a righty pitcher.  Results guaranteed. 

It is amazing how well he hits righties vs. lefties

Lol Corbin……he’s keeping that ball!

I get that you loathe Hiura, but my post was somewhat tongue in cheek, given that I'd much prefer to see him play/bat vs righties than lefties. 

.275/.413/.588/1.001 pretty much speaks for itself, too.

1.001 OPS vs righties this season coming into tonight, and that's before the homerun. 

[edfunderburk]

Off topic … but would the Brewers include Hiura & a minor league player (pitcher) in a a deal for Benitendi from the Royals? 

[markedman5]

That might be the funniest moment of the season

I'll agree with that.

[DuWayne Steurer]

Burnes has to be digging the run support. 

[markedman5]

Rowdy is hot again……man

[Brewcrew82]

Nice job by Corbin working around that missed strike three call by Hernandez and the 3-0 count to Vogelbach. 

[Zad Fnark]

Cards blew their lead on the Phillies.

Good riddance.

[DuWayne Steurer]

I'm good with that. No thought of trying to extend Burnes with a 9 run lead for a silly individual milestone.

[Brewcrew82]

I mean, what else can you say. The guy probably has his worst command of the year tonight and he goes 6 strong with only one run and one hit....

[stoutdude04]

Arenado with a cycle tonight. Needed a single in his latest at bat. 3b, hr, 2b, then the 1b. 

[Brewcrew82]

So Trevor Kelley rejoins the team today and we have to immediately put him in the game in the 7th? I get we had a lot of relievers pitch yesterday, but Gott, Milner, etc are still sitting there.

And the Cards still lost. Everyone's happy lol

The Brewers just do not get along very well with LHP.

[yourout]

Stat question.

Thanks to Angel the Brewers have 1 strikeout in the game.

Have the ever had a nine inning game without a strikeout?

Seem to be getting along just fine this inning. 

[jason21nl]

Well this one has been fun

[folly412]

This feels more like Brewers-Pirates.  Last night didn't have that feeling!

Kelley is terrible but he can likely hold the lead in this game

Save the good pitchers for close games
