2017-09-30: Brewers (Guerra) at Cardinals (Weaver) 3:15 PM CDT [Brewers lose, 7-6; eliminated, but not until game 161]

[SomewhereInTime]

Stole this from the tv during the game as we have discussed it before.

 

Run Differential by Inning

1-2: +70 (MLB 2nd)

3-7: +14 (14th)

8+: -53 (30th)

 

I know what this is but what does it MEAN? Our attacking style is used against us in later innings but benefits us early?

 

[sarcasm]The roids wear off by the end of the game?[/sarcasm]

[PinaMadness]

Inning ending double play coming up.

Works every time.

[PinaMadness]

Rally time!!!

[topper09er]

Our first 100 RBI season since Braun and Aramis in 2012. I am trying to find some other teams with longer 100 RBI droughts. Mets and Rays both havent had one since 2010

[moofis]

Exactly the start we were looking for!! Go Brewers!!!

[pacopete4]

Braun-Shaw-Santana... LOVE IT!!!!

 

Let’s go KeyshawnKershaw(gotta love autocorrect !!!

[Lathund]

Shaw reaches 100 RBIs and Santana with 30 HRs, back to back.

[SomewhereInTime]

Now keep pouring it on! We need to rest the back end of the bullpen.

[adambr2]

Man I would love if we can go into the last day of the season with just a chance.

[MoreTrife]

Let's at least delay this until tomorrow. C'mon dodgers

[topper09er]

And now we have only our 2nd season with 3 30 HR players, other being 1982 (When Yount finished with 29)

Why we're good early I really couldn't say. But I've seen a few suggestions as to why we're bad late. One is platoon splits; teams play matchups later on which hurts us. But the one I buy into the most is a rather simple one. It's a strikeout-prone team. That gets exploited even more by a high strikeout pitcher, which is what late-inning relievers tend to be.

 

That makes sense.

Next year we will have Thames, Braun, Shaw, Santana annnnnnd Phillips with 30+. Five. Count em, five!

[PinaMadness]

That's a hit? A good throw beats him.

[lcbj68c]

If Guerra can escape the third inning equal to or better than 6-2, I'll be thrilled.

[SomewhereInTime]

Or try to give all the runs back...

[PinaMadness]

One more batter max.

[pacopete4]

Why wasn’t Guerra stretched out to be a starter?

[topper09er]

good work CC

[pacopete4]

Lovely. Just lovely.

 

Absolutely ridiculous.

[DocLuna7]

Ugh defense

[bucks2281]

My God, Domingo

[stoutdude04]

What happened?

[PinaMadness]

Great. A five run inning and it's immediately almost squandered.

[topper09er]

Santana what are you doing you suck
