2018-05-08: Indians (Kluber) at Brewers (Miley) 6:40 PM CDT [Brewers win, 3-2; Miley leaves game in 1st w oblique injury]

[Eye Black]

Brent Suter doing his best Shohei Ohtani impression!

 

Maybe Suter can be the extra left handed bat instead of Franklin or Sogard.

[topper09er]

More like TRex

[JosephC]

Maybe Counsell should start batting the pitcher 6th in the order?

[PinaMadness]

Holy Moses, is that Bret Suter or Giancarlo Stanton?

[topper09er]

Wonder how often a defending Cy Young winner gives up a HR to the pitcher

[clancyphile]

Guess Suter's back in the rotation.

[PinaMadness]

That inning could've been so much better. First three hitters reach and only one run?

[LouisEly]

Well isn't this a fine how do you do?

 

Now we will be subjected to Suter. And with two men and one out. See you guys tomorrow. What a terrible day to be a Brewers fan.

The bright side is that the Brewers may want extra bullpen help tomorrow, and might DFA Frianklin to make room for the guy.

[PinaMadness]

Perfect. Is this karma or what?

[topper09er]

pack your bags Orf

[PinaMadness]

Manager Lou Brown won't be happy with that.

[LouisEly]

pack your bags Orf

Not tonight. I'm guessing Knebel gets activated and Franklin DFA due to the short start. Orf will need to hold off until the bullpen gets rested.

[PinaMadness]

It must've been like acid in his mouth for CC to put in Villar.

[topper09er]

Villar comes in and promptly makes the little league baserunning mistake of not freezing on a line drive. Never would have guessed that

[KeithStone53151]

Nothing villar could have done on that liner...tough luck there

[markedman5]

And Villar gets doubled off of 2nd.........freeze on a line drive......little league stuff

Are we sure that he didn't freeze? I obviously only saw him diving back into 2nd. He may have had a big secondary lead.

That ball was hit well. Lindor beat him to the bag by at least 2 steps. A large chunk of the league gets doubled off on that. Try seeing through your villar bias...

He took maybe 1 step, but as I noted... he wasn't getting back. Lindor didn't even run hard getting to second to double him off. It was routine...

Right back from the break Rock called it a baserunning mistake. Trying seeing with your eyes open by watching the game

Consider the source...

To be fair...it was Rock saying it, so I'm not sure it was in fact a mistake.

I'm at the game, I wouldn't call that a base running mistake. I'd call it tough luck. Rock calling it a base running mistake is meaningless...

1 step is not the same as freezing. Freezing = 0 steps. Getting doubled off is always a baserunning mistake except fro the cases when the player who catches the ball is already closer to the base than you are.

Craig Coshun tweet

 

.@bruter24 is only 3rd relief pitcher ever to homer off reigning Cy Young winner, according to Stats, Inc. Others 1957 Turk Farrell (Phillies) off Don Newcombe (Dodgers) and 1969 Clay Carroll (Reds) off Bob Gibson (Cards).
