2019-06-30: Pirates (Brault) at Brewers (Davies) [Brewers win, 2-1 -- Thames HR in 8th inning breaks the tie and proves the difference]

Uh, not complaining but he looked safe to me. Arms came around the tag to the base then he was tagged in the chest.

[Bulldogboy]

Cubs getting crushed. I don't know but the best team in this division just might be the Reds top to bottom. They shouldn't even be in the conversation but the Brewers Cubs and Cards have all been gross. Reds have the best farm of all to get a player if needed too.

Looked like the glove hit his helmet.

If the Brewers being 5 games over and 1 game back is gross you have some crazy standards.

[BruisedCrew]

When I said I couldn’t figure out how the Brewers would score today I forgot about the clutch hitting of Zach Davies, and even that run should probably have been cut down at the plate.

 

Other than the near HRs there hasn’t been much from the offense today. Hiura has had a rough day both at the plate with opportunities to advance or drive in runners and on the basepaths.

Pina’s hit just bought him a couple more weeks.

Oh yeah I forgot they have been fantastic. In fact they are heading to the Series. Wake up bro. This team hasn't been good since the 7-1 start. Under 500 since then.

I always find it interesting that people base record or ranking with how well a team is. True, the Brewers are only a game back and are a few games over .500, but this team has been awful the last few weeks. Nothing is really going well and they are fortunate to be in their position at this point. They are by no means playing like a contending team.

[Lathund]

With the Cubs losing that can only mean the Brewers will too. At least that has been the case for the last 6 days when both teams have played, i.e matching eachothers result.

Dont think he was going anywhere. I am pretty sure someone posted his hard hit numbers and they were all solid.

[BruisedCrew]

Even Yelich up with the bases loaded doesn’t qualify as a scoring threat these days.

Facts. It's unbelievable the amount of fake outrage you get for saying what is obvious. This team isn't very good. Doesn't mean they won't be but to date nope.

[Bulldogboy]

Freddy been decent in the pen. Don't get any bright ideas now Counsell. Leave him alone.

[homer]

Peralta's splits as a starter and a reliever are....not the same.

[adambr2]

If the wall began at the beginning of the warning track, we'd have about 50 HR this last week.

It has been weird, like we are playing at Wrigley with the wind blowing in.

[wallus]

I am sure Diaz is getting hit hard but he has a future in WWE.

[adambr2]

Can we have one single game where the pitching and hitting both decide to actually show up on the same exact day?

[adambr2]

Pitch 2 to Newman was a clear strike called a ball and pitch 3 was a clear ball called a strike. They may as well throw darts.

[markedman5]

So who else can we bring up to cure the ailing offense?

[adambr2]

Jeffress is going to have nightmares at this point.

[PinaMadness]

Looked like Gamel made that harder than it had to be.

[OldHeidelberg]

We sort of burned through our bench in a hurry today and Jeffress is due up.

[Eye Black]

Not sure he got a great jump, but a heck of a catch by Gamel. There may have been a touch of a Jim Edmonds web gem element to that one, but I’ll take the out!

Find a replacement for Aguilar. I'm not sure there are many spots to upgrade other than that.
