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]

[Bulldogboy]

3-2 breaking ball to some guy named Ervin. Ok.

[schmidtac20]

Walks walks walks.

[mtrebs]

It wouldn’t be a Brewers game if they wouldn’t walk the winning run on.

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".

 

Thank you for posting that. He's clearly been bad when we need a big hit.... king of the late solo homer

[MrTPlush]

I believe there are only three players to ever have 7 hits in a game and I am pretty sure none of them have ever hit for the cycle in that same game. Crawford needed extra innings to do it back in 2016.

 

Yelich is the third Brewer in history with 6.

How many of those lost?

[sveumrules]

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

 

Hader has pitched 4 times on back to back days, 8 times on one days rest, 11 times on two days rest, 7 times on three days rest, 6 times on four days rest, 4 times on five days rest, 1 time on six days rest & 1 time on seven days rest.

 

He has gotten 8 days off between appearances zero times. He has now pitched in 44 of 134 games, or once every 3 games on average. He's currently 12th in relief innings in all of MLB. It would seem that Hader is being used plenty.

1 season clutch stats are worthless because the sample is too small. For his career Shaw has a 134 tOPS+ in high leverage situations. He has been about as clutch as a player can be. Even that is only 387 PA though so might not be meaningful, but his actual stats in those situations do not support not being clutch.

Haha not sure, Crawford needed a crazy extra innings win...so history is repeating itself.

[schmidtac20]

The Reds just don’t swing at anything outside of the zone. This entire series has been long AB’s by every player in the lineup.

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

Throw strikes! I mean, come on! Throw strikes!

[homer]

Yelich is still good.

[adambr2]

Have not allowed a hit and there's a runner in scoring position. Brewer baseball.

Yelich is the third Brewer in history with 6.

 

Rennie Stennett is the only one I'm aware of doing it, at least in the modern era. Who would the other two be?

[mtrebs]

It wouldn’t be a Brewers game if they wouldn’t walk the winning run on.

 

Looks like we’re headed for the ol’ “walk the bases loaded” special.

Oh man. Using batting average as your only assessment tool. Try scrolling a bit to the right to see those OPS numbers. And then check out those career numbers to support it even further.

[Fear The Chorizo]

ugh...it's like you're standing on the tracks and a train is slowly bearing down on you, but you stand there anyway hoping that just this one time it derails and on the tracks is the safest place to be

 

...that's my interpretation on watching this game as a fan hoping they get another AB in the top o' the 10th with the 99% expectation they will find a way to lose instead.

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

Whew ... I didn't like the look of that one off the bat.

They're hardly worthless.

 

Let me reshape the comment. Travis Shaw has not been clutch in 2018. Better?

 

He's had 75 PA's when his team was in a late & close situation, and has hit .216. He's had 172 PAs when his team has been behind, and has hit .203. I don't care what he did two years ago when he was playing in a different city. Two years ago, Ryan Braun hit .300 + with 30 HR. Is that who he is now? No, of course not. Shaw, in 2018, has regressed. When we've needed him to step up, statistical analysis says he's failed to do so this season.

It seems like Freddy Peralta pitched yesterday.

I just see this game as a total coin flip at this point. That isn't a good thing either considering how much more talented our entire roster is, the longer this game goes the more the advantage should be to the Brewers but it really just doesn't feel like that.

Found some info on 7 hits games as it is poorly tracked if you do it in extras:

 

A host of players have had a 6-for-6 day at the plate, and two have gone 7-for-7 — Cesar Gutierrez of the Tigers (in 12 innings) in 1970 and Rennie Stennett of the Pittsburgh Pirates in 1975, in a dominant nine-inning effort. But we’re still waiting on someone to go 8-for-8 or better. In 2016, the San Francisco Giants’ Brandon Crawford narrowly missed, going 7-for-8 in a 14-inning win over the Marlins, with only a fifth-inning strikeout keeping him from the feat. In 1932, Cleveland Indians shortstop Johnny Burnett was 9-for-11 at the plate in an 18-inning loss to the Philadelphia Athletics. However, the perfect eight-hit day is still out there waiting to be had.

 

 

 

Still incredibly rare. So there you go. Johnny Burnett managed 9-11 and his team lost in 18 innings.

[topper09er]

Yelich is the third Brewer in history with 6.

 

Yelich is the 4th

 

Briggs (9 innings)

Kevin Reimer (13 innings)

Jean Segura (14 innings)

That’s what happens when you pull a pitcher too soon. I’d already be tucked into bed after a Brewer win.
