2018-05-04: Pirates (Kingham) at Brewers (Guerra) 7:10 PM CDT [Brewers lose, 6-4; Yelich Fair/Foul HR Controversy]

[adambr2]

Where was Domingo? Standing there twiddling his thumbs?

[Roderick]

Where was Santana?

 

Same place he has been at plate. Missing. Get the milk carton find him going.

[markedman5]

Where was Santana?

 

In deep thought about that strike out with Shaw on 3rd and 1 out.......

[PinaMadness]

I couldn't see the ball cross the pole. Not saying it was fair, because there's no argument from the Brewers. It just looked like it.

Or maybe it was fair.

If there ever was a time for Craig to go off on an ump and get booted, tonight is the night.

[PinaMadness]

Guerra's done. And most likely so are the Brewers.

[82brewcrew82]

This is fun.

[adambr2]

Out.

[valpocrewsader]

Santana should be benched immediately for being nowhere in sight to help there. Wish Counsell made statements like that once and a while when fundamentals are ignored.

[adambr2]

If there ever was a time for Craig to go off on an ump and get booted, tonight is the night.

 

Or go get a struggling starter out which he is willing to do with any non struggling starter in the 5th on any other night.

[markedman5]

I can't believe the brewers didn't challenge that Yelich foul ball......it looked fair in real time and looks fair on review.

 

I mean come on

[wildcat83]

Perfect spot for Suter. Let him finish this unless we start to close the gap.

[adambr2]

I've concluded that either Darnell Coles is just awful at his job or he in some way offended Arcia in the off-season and Orlando is intent on getting him fired.

[brewmann04]

Guerra was off big time today.

[timpep]

I don't understand a few things about tonight. I don't get sogard starting when his OPS is around Villars slugging %. I don't get not challenging the home run that clearly went on the fair side of the pole. And finally, I don't get leaving Guerra out there to give up 5 runs.

I'm sure it's just the moment but I really don't understand what people see in CC.

[adambr2]

Umpire is 31 year old Quinn Wolcott, must be new. We had a really young ump a week or 2 ago too, I think 34 or 35 who was also a total dumpster fire.

Hitting coach has to be the most thankless job in sports (and perhaps the most useless...).

 

You know every hitting coach in baseball, Coles included, tells the players “be patient, swing at strikes.” Not his fault Arcia doesn’t listen. Or Santana. Or Perez.

It was a fair ball. It should have been called a homerun and certainly should have been reviewed.

Baseball replay is the worst. There's so much wrong with it I can't even spend the time writing about it. I guarantee CC didn't challenge that because it was only the first inning.

I rewound it a few times back in the first and came away satisfied it was a foul ball.

That's not foul.

[adambr2]

Yeah I thought I saw on replay it going in front of the pole but on replay on MLB.com I can't see that now.

 

That can't happen especially at home. C'mon Counsell. 0 for whatever on challenges this year means you're certainly looking at worse ones than that.

[PinaMadness]

[adambr2]

Whether he was safe or out, what a horrible send by Sedar.

[BuckyBrewer61]

The windmill got lucky on that one
