We deserve like a 10 run inning after that decision to walk Yelich.  So stupid.

[Marc Newfield of Dreams]

I need an ump to explain how that move to second wasn't a balk

[Bulldogboy]

Score this run please. 

[yourout]

Pratt getting beaned on a two strike pitch was massive

[HarryDoyle]

Are we out of challenges? That first strike was low.

I certainly don’t know why anyone would walk Yelich unless they’ve not paid attention tonight or the last few weeks. Unbelievable decision.

Brewers have one remaining: the extra-inning challenge. Probably considered not worth risking it up by four runs. Save it for pitching.

[trwi7]

We would have lost this game if it wasn't on Apple TV because I would have been watching when Grant Anderson was pitching and we all know how that goes.

I do have an issue with the auto-pinch running Perkins for Vaughn thing. If the Brewers have the lead and the defensive move is inevitable, fine. But if we are tied, I don't think we are playing the correct percentages - especially in a non-steal situation. At least not initially.

Perkins for Vaughn from 1st increases the chances of scoring on a double by a good margin - but the chances of a double being hit are low single digits? So the amount of doubles Perkins will score on compared to Vaughn PLUS the low chance a double is hit is probably something like a 1-2%ish chance of the move being necessary?

Now if Vaughn reaches 2nd, I am ok with the pinch runner because scoring from a single AND the likelihood of a single being hit are much higher probabilities. I also understand going 1st to 3rd, etc.

I can't say for certain if PR Perkins for Vaughn immediately like they are doing has produced the necessary result to make it the right move yet this year. But we now have a data point (tonight) where pinch running him did not alter us scoring, did not alter the defense the following inning, and DID take an at bat away from Vaughn with a chance to win the game later.

Sorry, that is a lot of typing. Main point, let the situation breathe a little before auto pulling Vaughn in those spots. We have more options than we think? Am I wrong?

I just hated the whole sequence. If you're pinch running Perkins there you need to get him moving. Instead Pratt first pitch bunted and it basically didn't matter at all that Perkins was the runner.

Grant earned that win.

[willie key]

Snatched defeat from jaws of victory and then snatched victory from jaws of defeat all in one game

[StearnsFTW]

Yes

Man of the match/game/whatever, IMO

[owbc]

I turned it off after we didn’t score in the 10th and Anderson coming in. Fortunately I checked again before we rallied in the 11th. 
 

When they walked Yelich to face Chourio I audibly said “What are those morons doing?”
 

One of those “burn the box score” type wins where we take the W and move on.

They all look the same in the standings

We used every good bullpen arm we have tonight.

Woodruff better have gone to bed 2 hours ago, he has some work to do tomorrow.

[greenlawler]

I don't know how many of you listen to the games but the Brewers radio crew does a great job calling the games. What a great game. 

[willie key]

The guy hitting .340 for the season needs to start playing more and stop taking g him out when he does play 

[yourout]

At least we used up the pen in a win. 

This would have really sucked if we had lost while using all our frontline relievers.

Agreed. This team is so much more formidable when Vaughn and Bauers are both in the lineup.

I know but the percentage chance of losing in the tenth was very high.  You have to admit that

[willie key]

Back up to 6 game lead
