2018-07-11: Brewers (Peralta) at Marlins (Straily) 6:10 PM CDT [Brewers lose, 5-4 in 12 innings]

[yfinn6]

Interesting no challenge here.

[adambr2]

Yelich was out. What is Mattingly doing? It's literally a free challenge.

[wildcat83]

If Aguilar sees anything within a foot of the plate I'd be shocked.

[SRB]

Yelich was out.

 

Looked safe to me.

[topper09er]

I was told the point of instant replay was to prevent egregious mistakes, not an opportunity to take a shot at a call reversal that was close just because it would be really good for you if the call was overturned.

[adambr2]

Yelich was out.

 

Looked safe to me.

 

I don't have the luxury of DVR anymore but on the one replay they showed definitely looked like the ball hit the glove before the foot hit the bag. At least when I looked.

[yfinn6]

Interesting not pinch hitting for Lopez. OK.

[wildcat83]

How well can Lopez hit?

[SRB]

1.000 AVG hitter at the plate!

[Eye Black]

Interesting not pinch hitting for Lopez. OK.

Wow, not good.

[SRB]

Interesting not pinch hitting for Lopez. OK.

Wow, not good.

 

Kratz for the most part hits like a pitcher. Might as well leave the arm in.

[OldSchoolSnapper]

That is one of the strangest decisions I've seen in a while.

[adambr2]

Mattingly snuffed out that bluff pretty easily.

[topper09er]

Its not really that they were pitching around Aguilar, but just pitching to get to the rest of the lineup

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

That is one of the strangest decisions I've seen in a while.

 

Not really. No one left to pitch.

[BuckyBrewer61]

MLB 2018. Where you run out of pitchers in the 12th inning.

[wildcat83]

Yikes, guess Lopez pretty much will have to go the rest of the way, however long that is.

[adambr2]

Offense has no one to blame but themselves for how tired they're going to be tomorrow.

[Eye Black]

Kratz for the most part hits like a pitcher. Might as well leave the arm in.

With a runner in scoring position it seems worthwhile to at least taking a chance at scoring the go ahead run. Must really not have any other pitching options?

[Bulldogboy]

Insanity. Chance to win the game and you punt. Why not just say we give we want to get out of town. Again I repeat what I have said before you would never know this team missed the playoffs by one game. They do not act like every game matters.

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

It's too bad that Jorge Lopez is going to be rewarded for his heroic effort tonight with a trip to Colorado Springs.

[SomewhereInTime]

Is Hader hurt?

[phnxcrew]

Without Jesus, we literally cannot score against this terrible team. Stop making Stearns desperate guys

[Eye Black]

[sarcasm]Could have pinch hit Kratz and left him in to pitch.[/sarcasm]

Hader and Burnes presumably can't go (and we definitely don't want to injure them), so I think all you have left is Jeffress who CC probably wants to reserve for a save situation and anyways could only go 2.0 IP or so. Lopez is probably going to get ridden to death here until we get a lead.

 

Maybe a different decision if Kratz himself wasn't such a bad hitter.
