2019-04-12: Brewers (Burnes) at Dodgers (Urías) [Brewers win, 8-5 -- Burnes gives up three more HRs, but Grandal and the offense come to the rescue]

[topper09er]

Aggy would poke a pitch like that to RF last year, now he rolls over for an easy 6-3

[topper09er]

Don’t look now, but Burnes is on pace for a Quality Start*! Now if you’ll excuse me, I need to find the closest lumber yard so I can knock on all the woods.

 

*totally worthless stat

 

You should probably keep some 2x4s on hand in your garage at all times

[BruisedCrew]

The Dodgers really have the knack for controlling Yelich by pounding him inside and making him jam himself.

Solid advice

Good God Corbin...

[yfinn6]

Is anyone going to pitch inside to the Dodgers this year?

[BruisedCrew]

Going to be seeing A LOT of long balls off opponents’ bats in the next 13 days.

[PinaMadness]

Might as well put Anderson back in the SR. Even he doesn't give up that many dingers.

[Fear The Chorizo]

Burnes needs to find that in-between location for all his pitches - not middle/middle, not 1 foot off the plate. His stuff is plenty good to be a really good starting pitcher without having to be perfect on location, but he's got to work more consistently on the fringes.

 

holy cow, what a play by Arcia!

 

And then more middle/middle to the guy you just can't do that to on the Dodgers...sheesh

[topper09er]

Roy Halladay put up a 10.64 ERA in 2000, Burnes sitting at a measly 10.22 right now

[wildcat83]

How does anyone except Arcia to be a consistent hitter when he continuously pulls his back foot?

 

It makes no sense that that can't be fixed, and continues to happen with a professional baseball hitter.

 

Totally agree, and feel like this is where most of his criticism comes from. He has glaring, little league level issues with his swing that never improve.

Been saying this for two years. How is it possible that this hasn't been fixed? Unbelievable.

Whatever your glass is half full of, I want some

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

Corbin Burnes and Chase Anderson would have been studs pitching half their games at Ebbets Field.

[valpocrewsader]

Burnes is going to set some HR records this year.

 

Can you name the Brewer single season record holder?

 

My guess was going to be Glendon Rusch. He must be in the top 10?

[Bulldogboy]

Burnes needs to be mentored by a guy like Suter. Guy has nothing for stuff but can survive by spotting and changing speeds. Burnes needs a little help with both.

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

Holy crap! Moose just bunted to beat the shift! Baseball purists rejoice!

 

I mean, he was a dead duck with a good throw, but still ...

[HarveysWBs]

Perez is not the hero we deserve, but he’s the one we need right now.

[Fear The Chorizo]

Get 'em on any way you can, and blast them in...atta way Hernan!

[brewcrewdue80]

That's Bellinger's 8th HR this season. to 7ks. What is he juicing on? 151Ks last year 25HRs in 632 PAs. He's on pace for 80 now in comparison if sees the same amount of PAs this season.

 

I forgot to say. why pitch to him at this point? He's scolding hot wait til he's cooled off later in the season with a runner on base.

He is #11 with 30 allowed in 2002, although he did lead the NL in losses that year

[TURBO]

Arcia, again with the moving back foot...

 

It's a bad joke.

[PinaMadness]

How is that a hit? That was hit right to Seager.

[topper09er]

At what point will fangraphs rejoice as well? I mean if you really value OBP seems like a missed opportunity

[TURBO]

At least he proved that a ballplayer actually has an idea that it might work...
