2017-08-22: Brewers (Nelson) at Giants (Samardzija) 9:15 PM CDT [Brewers win, 4-3]

[Baldkin]

Swarzak is missing his spots badly.

[MrTPlush]

At this rate I am going to be listening to the game on the radio on my way to work.

[MrTPlush]

Hernan Perez throws a dribbler and the ball gets to homeplate before the runner is even in the camera view. I understand there are two outs and all...but wow Giants. Swarzak was looking terrible I would take my chances letting the next batter have a shot.

[stoutdude04]

Slider has been ugly.

[Baldkin]

Wow. Terrible throw still gets him.

[pacopete4]

That throw just earned Perez a lifetime supply of swinging at first pitches.

[MrTPlush]

Wow. Terrible throw still gets him.

 

How embarrasing that would have looked with a decent throw. lol

[oldguy]

Hundley was chugging like a tug boat tied up at the dock!

Ed Sedar thinks that was a great send... er, um, nevermind...

[Baldkin]

Foot inside, foot outside. Hernan Hacks.

[TURBO]

Listen to Rock and BA talking about Perez and his outfield assists. They act like he made a great throw there... Anyone of us could have thrown that guy out...

Unhitch the plow, Hundley!

I get that Counsell is still a young manager but he really needs to start developing a little better feel for managing his pen and picking the right spots of when to ride a situation out and when to bail on a guy who clearly doesn't have it.

 

Hader was dominant tonight. He's not a LOOGY. This was (is) a 1 run game that we need. Not every decision needs to be matchup based. Sometimes a guy just has it that night, and another guy doesn't. Hader had it tonight, Swarzak did not. Fortunately he got lucky and there was no harm done, but next time might not work out that way.

I would have to agree with you. Josh Hader is a legit bullpen force when on. I will pitch him against anyone in the majors when he can locate his pitches just a little bit.

[Baldkin]

Go ahead rbi's is not a clutch stat. It's mostly a function of good hitters inn good lineups... Who get RBI early in games.

Not disagreeing with either of you but was tonight the beginning of seeing Hader as more of the 7th inning man? He got four outs and pitch count in the 20's so maybe it's CC's feeling to get him out to possible use tomorrow?'

[monkeyman343434]

Pina!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Wow. Huge huge huge. hopefully that CS helps swing momentum the rest of the road trip.

[pacopete4]

Filthy curve to end it. Wow

[MoreTrife]

I'm thinking that's ballgame.

 

I'll one up him and say if we don't win that's the season.

 

Okay, season is safe people.

[MrTPlush]

Well that was a fun win. Lets get another big road series win tomorrow.

[Baldkin]

K-nebel strikes again!

I hope not, I despise any pen strategy that gives a guy the inning just based on what number inning it is, with the possible exception of the closer in the 9th since I know everyone does that and will continue to anyway.

[oldguy]

Day game tomorrow. Dangit, Mrs. Oldguy has a list for me.

[adambr2]

Definitely a big one. Not an especially dominant one but one of those in which it's hard to think of anyone who played tonight who didn't contribute to the win in some way. Nice team win.

Still west coast though!
