2018-08-29: Brewers (Peralta) at Reds (Harvey) 6:10 PM CDT [Brewers win, 13-12 in 10 innings -- Christian Yelich hits for the CYCLE on 6-for-6 Night; Brewers overcome controversy and 4-run deficit]

[pacopete4]

This game is hilarious.

[The stache]

Yelich goes 6 for 6, hits for the cycle, and sends the game winning home run over the fence in the top of the ninth. Calling it now.

[LouisEly]

Following on Gameday - what the hell is taking so long between pitches?

 

Hamilton scored on a wild pitch, which was reviewed because the ump thought he missed the plate. He got it, though.

Even before that though, seemed like a good two minutes between pitches.

[wildcat83]

Kratz and Soria seemed to be having a hard time getting on the same page. Two mound visits that inning.

[Bulldogboy]

Someone check Stearns tracphone to see if he loaded minutes on it before the deadline.

[brewmann04]

let me make sense on Hader for you Joey.

First the guy only has only two pitches and that won't cut it as a starter.

second if now he gets eight days off per appearance now making him a starter will have him pitch every ten days under CC

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

Stay hot Yelich!

[Eye Black]

Late to the thread tonight, but wow is Christian Yelich amazing.

[brooks_quichenick]

6/6 Yelich, wow!

Your first point makes sense. Your second point doesn't. At all. He came up as a starter. He is more or less on a starters schedule right now, only as a reliever. There is no reason he wouldn't be able to take the ball every 5 days as a starter and give them a starter's innings.

[NYChez]

What’s a worse sign for the Brewers - scoring 4 in the first or having 19 hits?

[adambr2]

Shaw is not clutch.

[MoreTrife]

Iglesias is nasty. And can pitch forever and ever.

 

If we make it through this inning he'll pitch the top.

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

Do they go to Jeffress here?

[trwi7]

Did Brian say no balls and a strike on an 0-2 count and then immediately say 2-1 right after the next pitch (a ball) was thrown?

[Fear The Chorizo]

this game would be crushing to lose...find a way to get three outs here before Cincy scores please!

[Ennder]

I don't see any reason to question Hader's durability as a starter. It is all about the pitch mix. He needs a third pitch and he has been put in a situation where developing it is almost impossible to do. So they either have to make him a starter and just pray it develops or keep him a RP and assume it never will. There isn't a really comfortable middle ground.

[young guns]

Soria back out? Jeffress to try to get us to extras? Either way we are almost out of pitchers that give us a chance ti win.

[pacopete4]

Shaw is not clutch.

 

His clutch stats say otherwise.

[topper09er]

Where is Briggs? Yelich joins his namesake with the second 6 hit 9 inning game in Brewer history

[brewmann04]

Hey DS think you can you make the same type of trade for a starter like you did for Yelich

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

Shaw was not clutch in that one at-bat.

 

There, fixed it for you to better reflect facts.

[Bulldogboy]

Shaw may not get to that.

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

Jeffress bringing it at 98. Must be as frustrated as we are watching this one.

[The stache]

Shaw is not clutch.

 

His clutch stats say otherwise.

 

In 2018, per baseball-reference.com's "clutch stats", Travis Shaw is hitting .216 when the Brewers are behind. In "late and close" situations, he's hitting .203. Since it's late and close, and we're behind, both metrics apply, and I wouldn't say either of those would support your assessment that he's "clutch".
