2019-06-15: Brewers (Nelson) at Giants (Bumgarner) [Brewers lose, 8-7]

[jason21nl]

holy crap has he ever lost it

[PinaMadness]

Nelson is definitely done.

[adambr2]

Could have gotten Jimmy by now, but putting 3 runners on for free first is another way to go.

[willie key]

This is silly. He’s done. Take him out

[ThisIsMyCrew]

Nelson throwing 90-91 in this 5th inning.

[Eye Black]

Nelson has flashed stretches of looking very solid with his breaking stuff, but ultimately had a second consecutive outing where his control just completely unraveled in a hurry.

[jason21nl]

I'll be happy to get out of here with only give up 2 or less.

[wildcat83]

Need some magic from Houser.

[willie key]

72 pitches. 36 strikes

 

 

Long way to go for Nelson yet.

[Brew crew 92]

Just a matter of time before before Jimmy pitching out of the pen.

[Eye Black]

[sarcasm]The silver lining is there a lot of options for a force out now.[/sarcasm]

[adambr2]

Good God. Giving the game away because we can't throw a strike. Embarrassing.

[PinaMadness]

How can these guys lay off pitches that close???

[jason21nl]

this is turning out to be one of the most frustrating innings of the year

[Eye Black]

Well this is certainly one way to keep a putrid offense in the game.

[adambr2]

How do you get nothing but Pablo on that?

[dlk9s]

[PinaMadness]

Not playoff caliber baseball this inning.

[jason21nl]

How do you get nothing but Pablo on that?

 

Slow hit roller? Or inexperience at 1st? granted I have no idea how many games he's played at first in his career

[adambr2]

They have really backed themselves into a corner with Nelson. Now they can't option him, but he's clearly not ready. I'm not sure what they are going to do.

This is the 40th time in his career that he has started a game at 1B. You could definitely sense/see the indecisiveness when he got the ball which I would attribute to inexperience.

Inexperience. He coulda got 2 if he went to 2nd, but that's an awkward throw through a baserunner. Best to get the one sure out if he wasn't comfortable making that throw. If he was playing closer he coulda went home, but there was no way to get him playing back (not sure why he was playing back though)

[John Jahahaha]

going to choose as best I can to view that as a progression in Jimmy's return. Ran out of gas pretty good, but slowly building up his strength from the last start. Nothing would please me more to light up Bumgarner more to get those runs back

[wallus]

Are we forgetting we are still winning the game?

It might be a moral loss, though.
