2020-09-09: Brewers (Burnes) at Tigers (Boyd) [Brewers win, 19-0 -- Sweet Sassy Molassy; Burnes faces one over the minimum in 7.0 IP]

[dlk9s]

Well, this guy gave up a homer, but he can say he got Yelich and Braun out.

[owbc]

All I know is I didn't wake up today and think "Maybe today will be the day the Brewers tie their franchise record for extra-base hits."

[markedman5]

[Zad Fnark]

Busted that record...

[markedman5]

What a day for Taylor......’when he is telling his grand kids about his first homer it will be off of Verlander or Degrom.

[BruisedCrew]

Some serious stat padding going on now.

 

This is comical, but at least nice to be on the other side of one of these.

[Eye Black]

Well now I’m mad that the caught stealing in the 2nd inning cost them getting to 20 runs today.

[MrTPlush]

I forgot we played at noon...I saw 5 pages (pretty good these days for such a time of day) and was like, “Well...either the game is going really good or really bad. There is no in between.”

 

Wasn’t wrong.

[homer]

I"ll be curious to see the before/after team stats. Offense might actually be average for the season now.

[sdcheezhd]

I wish Ueck had called it. I remember his call in the 9th of the 20-0 game: "there's some activity (or movement) in the Pirate bullpen; they're jumping over the fence and heading home."

[MrTPlush]

We left 8 men on base today, simply not acceptable.

[wildcat2237]

Fixed the run differential in one game.

[nate82]

Total runs scored is still below most of the teams in the NL.

 

These are the teams with less runs scored than the Brewers after the game today:

 

Marlins, Cardinals, Reds, Pirates, and Diamondbacks. The Diamondbacks are just 1-run behind the Brewers after today's game.

 

On a side note the Brewers scored as many runs as they have wins this year in today's game.

Taylor's OPS pregame: .375

 

Taylor's OPS now: 1.275

Robert Murray with the Cy Young mention

 

Ps. Way to go Stearns......some of the best deals are the ones you don’t make

 

[AKCheesehead]

I'm kind of mad at Detroit. If they were going to put a position player out there to get shellacked in the top of the 9th, a nice gesture would have been to give us Schoop on the mound instead of Demeritte.

I think Schoop is hurt from yesterday's HBP. I think we knocked another guy out for the season in our last series with them. They probably aren't too crazy about our pitchers at the moment.

A ton of fans and some on the forum wanted to trade for Matthew Boyd.

 

This offseason one poster wanted to give up Arica, Turang, and Rasmussen. Of course they backtracked after someone said Boyd sucked to end the year.

 

2019 deadline (before Boyd went off the rails) a frequent poster said he would, “pretty much give up anything in the system not named Hiura to get him.” Many others believed we could never get Boyd without giving up Hiura.

 

Let’s just say Boyd has not been trending up in value since.

[PinaMadness]

[sarcasm]Really? They couldn't score 20?[/sarcasm]

[Lathund]

Not quite, but went from 85 wRC+ to 92 wRC+. Looking at only the players on the roster (So without Smoak, Holt, Morrison mainly) Brewers are a 95 wRC+ team.

[brewmann04]

Now hopefully they don't get shut out the rest of the week.

The Braves are telling the Brewers to hold their beer.

Geez. An 11 spot in the 2nd.

Congrats to the Brew Crew for today’s offensive explosion!

 

The bats somewhat overshadowed the best pitching performance of the year & of Corbin Burnes young career.

 

After all the complaining I’ve done in recent games I had to add this post after watching the game on delay.

 

I would have enjoyed watching this one live but like so many others, I was working & unable to tune in during the game.

 

Hopefully, the momentum carries over for the next week or so ... lots of Cards & Cubs games that could vault us back into the playoff hunt quickly.

 

I was especially excited to see Tyrone Taylor breakout. I would love to see him manning CF through the end of this memorable season.
