2019-06-01: Brewers (Woodruff) at Pirates (Kingham) [Brewers win, 12-10 in 13 innings -- Wild roller coaster ride ends with Arcia’s 2nd HR of the game proving the difference]

[brooks_quichenick]

Arcia is going to hit 20. He’s also going to make some feel very foolish.

 

Himself for not trying to improve sooner? The coaching staff for not helping him?

 

He's 24 years old.

[yourout]

Nice start. Keep it going.

I sent Arcia a letter a few seeks into the season telling him he should start trying to improve. He sent me a response "Thanks I never thought of that!" plus an autographed bat. Guess it's working.

Oh man, good one. Either the Brewers told Arcia to fix his leg kick and didn’t listen (not trying to improve). Or somehow over the course of multiple seasons this idea never dawned on them (coaching staff not helping him).

 

Hope he continues to look good at the plate and bad habits don’t come back.

 

It’s pretty sad an improvement fans have begging for took this long to somehow get implemented...or at least consistently happen in games.

Did he send his letter in english or did he not try and send it in spanish instead?

Very nice and classy response by Arcia!

[yourout]

Plesac brings a lot to the broadcast but he really could dial it back a bit.

Sometimes less is more.

[treego14]

Adam Frazier continues to pummel Brewers pitching. That's my recollection, anyway.

He's got a comedian's/entertainer's voice ... not a baseball broadcaster voice. I agree with your sentiments.

[yourout]

That was a no doubter.

[Brew crew 92]

Woody’s change up went from average to devastating seemingly overnight. His command of that pitch gets better by the outing.

[MDCrew]

Wow! What a blast by Moose!

Eso me da una sonrisa grande.

That was a no doughter.

 

Off the bat you could tell that probably wasn’t staying in the park...literally.

Pleasac with that 'call the park ranger,' hahahahahaha

Mike Moustakas (19) off RHP Nick Kingham (9) - 106.0 mph, 29 degrees (436 ft Home Run) on 81 mph Curveball (Link).

 

[82brewcrew82]

slow down kids. Slow is smooth, smooth is fast.

[brewmann04]

keston needs to be better on the field

[brooks_quichenick]

Should've been an inning ending DP, tough break for Woody. Hiura needs to make a better throw there

[HarveysWBs]

I’m not saying this is what is going to happen, but if the Brewers brass wanted an excuse to send down Hiura for Shaw in a few days, Hiura’s defense, despite his effective bat, would seem to be a tailor-made narrative.

[brewmann04]

Yes it does seems like the excuse to send him down and it will be legit

[HarveysWBs]

And the narrative gets stronger with that bases-clearing double

[adambr2]

Really bad pitch at a really bad time.

[Eye Black]

I am as happy as anyone the Brewers have Hiura, but it is also clear he has a ways to go with his defensive development. He doesn’t have a ton of range and that isn’t likely to change much, but he is going to have to improve on his consistency of making good throws. The poor throw this inning has led to the Brewers allowing 4 runs (so far).
