Padres (Pivetta) vs Brewers (May): 10/6/26, 8:30pm

Dammit that's why they should have sent Yelly earlier. He'd be on third now

[da swedish german]

i've been calling mitchell out on this for 2 weeks....err years

dude, you have talent, use it

[Fear The Chorizo]

Yes Adam, if you throw that pitch 8 inches further down and 10 inches further inside, Pratt has a hole in his swing...like pretty much any right-handed hitter because it would hit their front foot.

 

Smh

If you simply throw Mitchell a strike he is useless.

I wonder how many of Mitchell's 170 some Ks have been called 3rd strikes.

Between Turang and Mitchell you can’t have these kinds of ABs in the postseason. 

Correction Mitchell has 5ks in 10 ABs in playoffs

[BrewerFan]

That was a ball. 

[BrewerFan]

Bit swing for Frelick... not just punch it to LF!

[ImissDougMelvin]

Gotta PH Vaughn for Joey, no matter what

eh, it might've just clipped the top. he's been erratic so far. let him cook

Big AB for Ortiz here 

[bm1090]

Have to go Vaughn here

[adambr2]

Well, that was ball 3 but it works like a sac bunt. Can you get them in?

[ReverendBrewmeister]

Another 2-out RBI chance for the Brewers. This time it’s Joey O. Gotta get one of these to click.

[bm1090]

But they aren’t going to.

[BrewerFan]

So big for Ortiz. 

I'd be SHOCKED if the first pitch wasn't up out of the zone. He HAS to lay off that pitch. Keep the pressure on the Pads here. 

[RobertCrawley]

Let's go Joey Bats!!

[OldSchoolSnapper]

I like our odds to gut this one out regardless of what happens here. They are burning through arms and don't have great ones. If we keep it to 3 I like our odds. 

[ImissDougMelvin]

Sorry to keep saying it, but that's why I'm frustrated they didn't steal with Yelly. That ground ball would have tied it. That's one thing that perplexes me about them, they steal bases, it's part of what they do, then they get in the postseason and don't run. They didn't last year either

[endaround]

Right handers hit wOBA .320 vs Matsui and LHers wOBA.218. Somehow we keep feeding him left handed hitters.

yeah, I forgot how often pitchers are relieved in the playoffs

I wouldn't have been mad at a challenge

I don't think they PH for Ortiz. You have Morejon as their closer for tonight. 

Ortiz just has to not expand.

Save them for the Padres nasty LHRP who will probably close 

[wildcat83]

We’ve hit big at bats with Turang and now Ortiz as the guys up, not ideal.

I wouldn't have if I was right! If I was wrong... I'd be pissed!

They were not going to steal with a lefty on the mound.  Yelich also didn’t look comfortable reading the pitcher.  Would have been an easy caught stealing.  Not worth the risk.
