Game Thread (7/26/2022): Twins (Bundy) at Brewers (Small) - 7:10 PM CDT

There ya go, Josh. 

[Robocaller]

I'd like a Rowdy walk-off, please.

[LouisEly]

Alright Counsell, don't be so habitual/stupid to not let Hader go two innings after throwing only 9 pitches that inning if they don't score here.

Craig arguing a strike down the middle being called a strike vs not flinching at the balk call last week is peak Clownsell.

I think it was more built from frustration with the ball that was called a strike earlier in the at-bat. 

[bulldogboy0733]

that was not a strike.

[Brewcrew82]

Oh come on, blue. 

[Robocaller]

pitchers get the ball of the plate, outside vs. LH hitters, as a strike against this ump.

Sure wasn't for Small tonight.

[Robocaller]

I'm not really particular about which Brewer gets the walk-off or if it's on a HR or a BB or a SF.

[Brewcrew82]

Come on Wong, give Cutch a chance to showcase that 88 percentile speed.

That pitch actually clipped the top of the zone.

And a pitch before that was a strike called a ball. 

Stop complaining.

I wasn't complaining, dude. I was explaining why Counsell may have reacted the way he did. And he did call pitch 1 a ball when it was lower than pitch 3.

3) This offense looks a lot better when Renfroe is in the lineup. Can anyone pull up stats to show this?
 

I don’t know of a simple way to quantify this without going through his game logs one by one.

But, at a high level, the Brewers are 34-29 in games in which Renfroe has played, so nothing significant there. 

In the 34 wins, Renfroe has an OPS of 1.002.

In the 29 losses he has an OPS of .585.

So, it is fair to say that the Brewers offense is a lot better when Renfroe  hits than when he doesn’t. He has had both hot and cold streaks.

Stop complaining?  If #1 is a ball, how are you supposed to approach #3 as a hitter?  I’d sure as heck complain.

[Robocaller]

C'mon, Urias, get hit by the pitch.  It worked for me in little league.

[LouisEly]

Just need a 300' fly ball here...

[Brewcrew82]

YES!!!!!!

I think it was more like 330'.  Good call.

[nate82]

Urias with another!

[BruisedCrew]

That’ll do it.

Weak arm in right.
