2018-07-24: Nationals (Hellickson) at Brewers (Guerra) 7:10 PM CDT [Brewers win, 5-4 in 10 innings -- Saladino Sacrifice Fly Walk-Off]

[The stache]

Crush one, Eric.

[topper09er]

Phillips with such a long swing on the high heat, when Fielder was on he would pull the hands in on pitches like that and crush it

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

Ugh, Thames just missed that. Got under it just a bit. Darn.

[markedman5]

Not confident in our bullpen choices now

[wildcat83]

Man, MP just went Cubs crowd there off the bat from Thames. Ahhhhh.... outfielder never moves.

[jonescm128]

Oh great Taylor Williams.

[xisxisxis]

The book says you don't use your closer at home in the 9th inning of a tie game, so no you are completely wrong here. You are so intent on placing blame for everything that you don't bother to actually think about what you are posting and it is obnoxious as heck.

Maybe you need to turn the book upside down...

Me neither...Hader only threw like ten pitches yesterday bring him in.

[buckybrewer232]

Do not like the chances of Williams getting through this inning without giving up some runs..

[wildcat83]

Not confident in our bullpen choices now

 

If Williams can get through this inning we get the heart of the order up... come on Taylor!

[adambr2]

Another consequence of not going with Burnes for another inning is that you need to now dip into the lesser part of your pen earlier.

 

Williams is tough to trust right now. Hopefully he can turn it back around today.

[topper09er]

Please just don't walk the leadoff hitter Williams

[KeithStone53151]

i do question this move. I kno we don't have unlimited options, but Williams has really been struggling. Probably better to use Jennings first, or Barnes.

That is why you pitch Burnes the 9th and Knebel the 10th. #2-4 for Brewers batting bottom of 10th. I trust the 2nd inning of Burnes more than Williams nowadays.

He was going good before the last two outings. Even last outing he threw a scoreless inning then got knocked around the second inning.

Perhaps they didn't want Burnes to be down for 3 days?

[KeithStone53151]

Williams does not look sharp at all. Missing his spots big time. Hopefully he gets away with it for a couple more hitters.

[MrTPlush]

I fully support using Williams here. But the world shortest leash.

[adambr2]

Jett Bandy 2 HRs tonight, just absolutely raking for the Sky Sox, because of course he is.

Hit his spot nice on that looking strike 3 to Soto

[markedman5]

Burned off the edge

[topper09er]

Feel bad for Soto, comes to Milwaukee but can't drink

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

LOL I think he'll be OK

[markedman5]

Not a lot of options left

Hope you are right. All I see is a game that is for the taking tonight and I assume Counsell will be over-cautious with Burnes days off anyways.
