2019-06-12: Brewers (Woodruff) at Astros (Verlander) [Brewers win, 6-3 in 14 innings -- Brewers overcome 24 Ks with four long balls; Thames HR ties it in 7th & Moustakas HR proves the difference in extras]

[pacopete4]

This lousy team is trying to push to 10 over again. Can’t believe these turds.

[Eye Black]

A 2 run homer here would be fine by me.

Here. I meant here.

Nice, you were just ahead of the curve.

[DuWayne Steurer]

Moose with authority!!!!

 

21 home runs for him now. 25 for Yelich. Move over Maris and Mantle '61?????

 

 

I was thinking a few days ago, the number of teammates who hit 50 dingers in the same year has to be a pretty exclusively short list. I still think it's an outside shot for both Moose and Yelich to stay hot enough to do it, but it's cool to think about.

[OnTheBlack]

Moose has to be top 10 mvp candidate so far this season. Playing two positions and protecting Yelich. Dude is a stud.

 

 

Not sure if he's top 10(not saying he isn't, just haven't looked) but man, I'm so glad we traded for him last year and then re-signed him this year. I honestly wasn't a fan of both at the time, but as I said then, gotta trust Stearns.

 

Mouse is having a career year and has been sooo valuable to this team with Shaw and Aguilar struggling.

 

Still hoping we can get one of them going, but even if we don't, Hiura will be back up and our offense looks really nice.

[Bulldogboy]

Give the pitching a ton of credit. Astros scored in one inning all night. Incredible.

[TexasCheesehead]

Is there a website somewhere that shows you what players are on pace for statistically? I remember fangraphs used to have one but now I can’t find it and I could’ve sworn it used to be on baseball reference also.

[brooks_quichenick]

Are they saying BOOOO or MOOOOSE?

 

I was saying MOOO-OOSE

[Oxy]

I feel like the tying run is going to come to the plate.

[Eye Black]

Tonight’s (hopefully final) Brewers strikeout leaderboard:

 

Cain - 4

Shaw - 4

Braun - 3

Grandal - 3

Arcia - 3

Yelich - 2

Moustakas - 2

Gamel - 2

Thames - 1

 

It’s actually pretty remarkable, but it will make for a very memorable victory if they finish it off here.

CBS sports fantasy site does. Not sure I you can access it if you aren't in a league.

I was skeptical as well but he seems like a great guy and the championship experience doesn't hurt. To get him for 1 yr along with Grandal is theft.

[Bulldogboy]

Houser is what Burnes should have been.

Slow clap. Well done.

 

Interesting. I would not have put money on Thames being the one with the fewest ks on a night like this.

[TexasCheesehead]

Fun fact...fangraphs projections predicted that Yelich would hit 28 home runs this season...

[sveumrules]

Brewers 2019 Splits:

 

Men On Base: 115 wRC+ (6th in MLB)

Men In ScoPo: 112 wRC+ (8th in MLB)

 

As frustrating as it can be to not score (or even make contact against a top MLB closer) in certain situations, this team has, on the whole, performed well when they've had runners on base or in scoring position.

[yourout]

I want to put an Asterix by that win.

That was big stuff.

[brooks_quichenick]

That's a big series split!

[Oxy]

The off day in SF will be well earned. A most improbable victory. Baseball is a mysterious game.

[Lathund]

Noone strikes out the Brewers 24 times in one game while only giving up one walk and wins!!!

[dlk9s]

Projecting this team to the playoffs and hitting quality pitching? I'm thinking it's gonna be a rough go.

 

Stearns has his work cut out this trade deadline.

 

Tigers are open for business...I go get Miggy. Solves the 1B issue

 

Did you just name him because he's a player you've heard of?

[OnTheBlack]

Houser is what Burnesshouldhave beenwill be.

 

 

Fixed

[Eye Black]

The Brewers leave Houston with a better run differential than they came to town with despite 32 strikeouts over the two games.

[DHonks]

This lousy team is trying to push to 10 over again. Can’t believe these turds.

 

If we keep winning, our owner won’t be able to break the lease and move to Miami.

[DHonks]

Fun fact...fangraphs projections predicted that Yelich would hit 28 home runs this season...

 

There was a sportswriter that predicted Moustakas would lead the league with over 40 this year.

[clancyphile]

Aguilar finally catches a break on a well hit ball.

 

Maybe he rebounds and does well the rest of the year...
