Brewers at Pirates; Thursday, May 22 @ 5:40 p.m.: Carlos Rodriguez (7.30 2024 ERA, 5.60 2024 FIP, 1.99 2025 MiLB ERA) vs. Mike Burrows (2.70 2024 ERA, 8.57 2024 FIP, 2.51 2025 MiLB ERA)

Looks like a Covid game. No one in the stands behind the plate.

[BruisedCrew]

They said earlierthat the Pirates have gone 26 games without scoring more than 4 runs in a game. 

If I heard it correctly they said this is an all time major league record. 

They’d better not end that streak tonight

[Frisbee Slider]

Peralta, Quintana, Henderson, Patrick, Civale

Woodruff, Hall, Ashby,

Megill, Koenig, Mears, Uribe, Anderson 

Pitching staff in a few weeks? Bunch of piggybacking?

[RobertCrawley]

Sal!!

[yourout]

Payamps proof lead.

😁

Or like about 50 other games, the Brewers have played in Pittsburgh with long rain delays.

[RobertCrawley]

Reliever walks the first batter. Thoughts?

[yourout]

Now watch Rodriguez walk them full.

Do you consider Myers a one year wonder?

I hope he returns and adds value too.

I don’t believe I can succinctly express my thoughts 

[markedman5]

That’s a hell of a job by Carlos …..when they really needed it.🫡

How about one more?

Myers has a place in the bigs. He’d be the next person up. 

We could try to trade someone but short of that, who do you get rid of or keep in Nashville?

Rodriguez could have a place, too. Not going to inflate one appearance against Pittsburgh, though.

DFA makes that pretty difficult.

I know... hence the :-). Guess I should have used the sarcasm

[RobertCrawley]

So. Reliever walks the first batter. Yay or nay?

[BruisedCrew]

Shades of Arizona. 

Better not get that version of Megill. 

[stoutdude04]

72 pitches, sat through 2 hour delay, I am not sure he should have been i. The 9th. Another head scratcher.

[stoutdude04]

Just a maddening 9th inning.

We definitely have great depth & talent when healthy 

[wallus]

Liked the effort, ran out of gas

[markedman5]

Pushed him too far after the 2 hour delay……I understand why he did it after they got the 5 run lead but let Anderson have the 9th. 

[edfunderburk]

I may pull a Devin Williams & punch a wall if we lose this game

[Outlander]

So stupid, Anderson was ready to finish this off. 

[edfunderburk]

Every game we play, I like Murphy a little less

Megill should have never had to warm up tonight 

Murphy doesn’t deserve to be a manager in MLB 

He can go to Chicago & be a bench coach for all I care 

We need someone who make good “in game decisions” managing the Brewers
