2018-08-24: Pirates (Musgrove) at Brewers (Miley) 7:10 PM CDT [Brewers win, 7-6 in 15 innings -- Crazy 3-Run Comeback Walk-Off Win]

[PinaMadness]

I love that the Pirates gave up two great prospects for Archer and are now circling the drain.

[homer]

I can't believe Kratz is hitting .252. If I had to guess I would have thought like .225

[homer]

Moose

[PinaMadness]

It'll take all weekend for the Pirates to score 4 runs.

Both him and Pina have been relatively hot lately at the plate.

[yfinn6]

The dreaded 4-0 start. That's only sorta blue.

You're right. Kratz was at .226 on Aug 10th.

[adambr2]

Let's hope so. I remember us scoring exactly 4 runs in the 1st twice this season and we lost them both.

[MrTPlush]

4 run first! Nice! When was the last time we did that?!

Remember when almost everyone was clamoring for Stearns to upgrade the catcher position? Good times.

[KeithStone53151]

I appreciate that Kratz made a point to take a few pitches. Taking that called 3rd strike was silly but initially I liked it. Baseball is cumulative and despite him sucking, it's good to get Musgrove out early if possible and weaken their bullpen for the next 2 games. And if a guy is gonna make an out anyways, might as well see 6 pitches. Hopefully Musgrove allows 4 more next inning before they pull him though...

Plus a third pretty good one, but who’s counting.

I mean don't get me wrong, it's still a totally upgradable position, Kratz is still OPSing. 662 with some big defensive miscues lately and is below replacement level.

 

I don't dislike Pina. I would just like him a lot better as a backup to a top catcher.

[dlk9s]

I think the uniforms are pretty rad.

 

[adambr2]

How does Marte not score on that?

[adambr2]

Ugh, tough to give that up.

 

Braun really needs to go to 2nd on that ball to him, never had a shot at 3rd but cut it off and likely could have kept it 1st and 3rd, ended up costing a run.

[MrTPlush]

Lol, oh Brewers.

[markedman5]

1 hard hit ball in 2 innings and they get 2 runs

I'm almost afraid to post due to the thread about banning and such.

 

It really feels like we are being censored.

 

The IGT thread is the one thread that we should be able to post a little more freely as compared to the others. Within reason of course.

It's just so darn easy to offend people these days that I'm a little uncomfortable taking a chance.

 

[PinaMadness]

Seriously, what is up with all these bloop hits the Pirates are getting? Is it the way Miley is pitching to them?

It's less about making people uncomfortable and more to avoid constant whining...it really shouldn't be hard to follow the rules.

[homer]

If you want to vent go ahead and vent. Just don't post the same vent 10 times in the same IGT.

It's the attacks against other posters rather than saying "Counsell is an idiot" during the heat of the game as I read that initial post from the moderator. The board was becoming unreadable because of attacks back and forth.

Yeah, it should be rather easy to post without ripping on others or obsess about the falling sky.

[TURBO]

I typically do not attack other posters, my beef is always with CC. lol
