2020-07-28: Brewers (Lindblom) at Pirates (Holland) [Brewers lose, 8-6 -- Brewers blow 6-2 lead in 7th]

Derek Holland: Batter (Brewers) vs Pitching Stats

[wildcat83]

Excited to see how Lindbloom translates to MLB hitters.

[long ball]

I think Lindblom is the last player on the roster to make his debut (Morin was DFA'd before appearing). Looking forward to seeing him pitch.

 

Line up will probably look similar to last night with another lefty going.

[Eye Black]

Same exact lineup as last night. If you would have told me back in November that we would be five games into the 2020 season and Justin Smoak had already hit in the cleanup spot a couple of times while Logan Morrison and Jedd Gyorko started in the 5th spot in the lineup over the past three games I would have offered to fight you. That being said, if you could predict the future back in November, and these were the only details you chose to share about 2020 I would offer to fight you right now.

[brewerfan82]

Well that blows my over/under of 60.5 games before a lineup is repeated out of the water

[Zad Fnark]

Tighter zone tonight.

[PinaMadness]

So when will Urias become available?

[BruisedCrew]

Lindblom’s Brewers career might be a short one.

[adambr2]

Brewers: "We're anxious and nervous about the spread of COVID-19 and questioning if it is worth continuing this season."

 

Also Brewers: "Let's all huddle up maskless to see what's going on with Lindblom."

[BruisedCrew]

Another bum journeyman pitcher dominating the Brewers offense. There isn’t one guy in the lineup that looks good and several who are hopelessly lost.

[Eye Black]

This would be a good time to get things going offensively, IMO.

Keston!

[Eye Black]

In his short career thus far, Hiura has been a Pirate killer.

 

He has 7 home runs against the Pirates in less than 70 at bats.

[PinaMadness]

This would be a good time to get things going offensively, IMO.

Good call.

[BruisedCrew]

Tighter zone tonight.

 

That really showed on the walks to Sogard and Garcia. They both might have been rung up by the guy last night.

[PinaMadness]

Can we please have a breakout inning here?

[adambr2]

Over/under: 1.5 runs

[PinaMadness]

Three walks to start the inning. If we don't get more than one run out of this then,well, that's pretty much par for the course.

[BruisedCrew]

Brewers best use of the bats is keeping them on their shoulders.

[PinaMadness]

That third base umpire must be thinking how the Pirates pitchers didn't strike out the side.

[adambr2]

Tighter zone tonight.

 

That really showed on the walks to Sogard and Garcia. They both might have been rung up by the guy last night.

 

They were both the correct calls, though. As was the ring up that Suter got last inning.

 

Pirates fans won't like it but this umpire has been quite good.

 

EDIT: And just as I type that Arcia gets a break on a call.

[markedman5]

Pour it on!

[MrTPlush]

The only positive of that outing for De Pozo is he got zero outs so he doesn’t have an ERA still.

[PinaMadness]

No good deed goes unpunished with Arcia.

[adambr2]

Really dumb baserunning by Arcia.
