2020-08-18: Brewers (Burnes) at Twins (Maeda) [Brewers lose, 4-3 in 12 innings -- Brewers spoil Maeda’s no hit bid in the 9th and rally for 3 runs, but fail to get a run across in extras]

[adambr2]

Well, Hader got it done. The Twins did make him work enough where you may not be able to bring him out in the 11th, though.

[brewers888]

The amount we have used Hader over the last few years may be catching up.

[Eye Black]

Is Haders velocity down this season.

 

I was kind of wondering that. Has he been sitting at 92-93 all season?

Coming into tonight he was averaging 94.5 mph on his four seamer. That is 1.0 mph slower than last year’s average of 95.5.

 

Tonight appeared to be down.

[Bulldogboy]

Hader isn't as dominant at 92-93.

He's given up checks notes.... 0 hits this season.

Hader isn't as dominant at 92-93.

 

No, but his slider has been better this season than last, so he’s still very effective. Has to throw a lot more pitches to get through an inning though.

Watching gameday. I recall 95s in recent Cub outings.

[Cool Hand Lucroy]

Man, it is amazing to me to see how Hader has developed that slider. I mean, it is the perfect example of even elite guys having to make changes to sustain success. He's got this impossible fastball, but he's managed to add a pitch for those rare moments when he can't trust it.

[TigerUppercut]

Hader isn't as dominant at 92-93.

 

Do you just post because you think you're on to something? Let me burst your bubble. He hasn't allowed a run this year. What are you basing this nonsense on? If anything, looks like he's more dominant at 92-93 with an improved slider.

We should only bring him back out if we score.

[Cool Hand Lucroy]

RE: Velo from Hader. He's on his third straight outing of 25 or so pitches. One day between. Probably down for 2 days now...

[Eye Black]

Brock Holt’s sprint speed is listed in the 8th percentile. That doesn’t seem like it can be correct?

[Cool Hand Lucroy]

Just send one out, Keston. Let's get on with it.

[Eye Black]

Ryan Braun has three strike outs today and looked bad in his last at bat, but I would happily take him being up here with the bases loaded.

[trwi7]

Hell of a play by Polanco.

[brewers888]

Can't see us holding them off yet again.

MLB 2020: "Here we'll just give you a guy on 2nd let's just finish this off and get it of here"

 

Brewers: "Mmm nah"

[mtrebs]

Don’t have a good feeling about the bottom of the 11th. Hope we get to 12.

[Cool Hand Lucroy]

Yeah. Hiura missed his pitch.

 

See if they can get out of it, but I don't feel great.

[Bulldogboy]

Tone set by horrendous ab by Garcia. Ugly

That's gotta be like 25% faster than Jed Gyorko's sprint speed, no?

Brewers: "Mmm nah"

 

Lol... the Brewers are typically so bad at driving in runs with RISP and less than two outs that they should be allowed to start with a runner on 3rd.

[Eye Black]

Wow, was that ballsy by Gyorko.

 

Great pick by Holt.

[brewers888]

What a play by Holt.

[mtrebs]

What a pick by Holt!
