2017-06-01: Brewers (Anderson) at Mets (Wheeler) 12:10 PM CDT [Brewers win, 2-1]

They aren't at all !

Andersons last 23 starts are pretty good.

 

 

I think you are way out of whack. But, I will say his last 2-3 starts have been pretty good.

I assume that Chase will go out for the 8th inning since he's pitching so well.

[brewmann04]

would not trust anyone not named barnes and Knebel

You should probably check his last 23 starts including today. 120 innings pitched 40 earned runs. Maybe I'm doing the math wrong?

The Brewers have just been really struggling to score lately. So many spots lately where we can't get a clutch hit, can't get a sac fly, etc. Several double plays too. Frustrating.

 

Be really nice to find a way to get a couple of insurance runs here.

 

Edit: Bandy chases ball 4 and can't drive in the run. Feels like we're about 0 for our last 10 in this series with a man on third and less than 2 outs. We easily could have 6-7 runs here, hope it doesn't bite us.

[SomewhereInTime]

Like right here...

Agreed. But I still assume Torres will be pitching whatever of the 8th that Anderson dosen't. Try to save Barnes.

Hey Jett, it takes zero effort to jog to first and make them make a throw.

[MrTPlush]

Absolutely terrible Bandy

[SomewhereInTime]

Just some downright awful approaches with runners on base

[pacopete4]

Absolutely terrible Bandy

 

Working a 10 pitch at bat is not terrible. Not always going to come through in those spots. Last I checked they are major league pitchers out there too.

[markedman5]

Boy we have had a ton of chances to add on.....hope it doesn't bite us.

 

Anderson with 2 incredible back to back starts.

[SomewhereInTime]

Absolutely terrible Bandy

 

He swung at ball 8

[MrTPlush]

Haha wow Broxton

It was terrible. Racking up a pitch count is pretty meaningless when it is a reliever.

[SomewhereInTime]

Here we go...

[pacopete4]

Que the bullpen to ruin this one.

[brwrsfan]

And just like that the lead is cut in half. We should have run away with this one easily.

And all he needed was to put a ball in play, if there's a runner at 3rd with less than two outs and you strike out, its a terrible at bat, doesn't matter how many pitches it goes.

I'm on gamecast. Was the Mets infield actually playing back? If not, he really can't just put it in play, he has to make sure it is at minimum a fly ball to the OF, that is not as easy as trying to punch it to the 2B.

Infield was in.

Right, and lineouts aren't going to get it done either. There is luck involved. The infield was in, so a ball hit right at one of them probably doesn't get the run in either, but it's a lot easier to get a hit through with the drawn in infield.

 

The point is there have been way too many missed opportunities lately when all we needed was a ball in play to get a run in.

If it was that easy to put the ball in play it'd happen every time. I love when people act as though this game is easy. Pure ignorance to how tough this skill really is against the best in the world.
