2021-05-21: Brewers (Houser) at Reds (Hoffman) [Brewers lose, 9-4 -- Winker hits 3 HRs, Crew’s slide continues]

[brewers888]

When we are selling at the deadline maybe Stearns can move Hader for some more defense first middle infielders with weak bats. If we can't even win with Burnes and Woodruff on the mound we may be battling Pittsburgh for last place.

[brewers888]

Houser has a much better chance of being successful as a reliever.

[adambr2]

Whew. Good call, but it was very close.

 

I think Urias thought he struck out.

[magnoliacrew]

Would be sweet if Castano were pitching tonight

[adambr2]

That was the time we needed the HR from Houser.

[adambr2]

Of course we would only get a single run from all that traffic.

[SeaBass]

Ahh a classic Brewers inning of offense.

"Almost amazing the Brewers only score once..."

 

Uh, yeah, we've been watching this scene replay itself all season

"Almost amazing the Brewers only scored once"

 

Fixing that last comment on the telecast. He clearly hasn't watched much.

[mtsportsfan]

Just brutal. I keep hoping , this team is absolutely snake bit.

[homer]

Don't @ me, but I've never liked the name "Jonathan"

I mean, base loaded with 1 out with the 8-9-1 batters coming up... do you really expect more than 1 run? 8th hitter gets a run in, pitcher gets out, and the leadoff guy has a 1 in 3 chance of adding onto that.

[xisxisxis]

It's sad when your pitcher is likely the 4th best hitter in the game... And he's no Ohtani...

It's science.

[SeaBass]

I'm going to call Yelich hits his 1st HR of the season this inning.

They also had the bases loaded with 1 out with the 9-1-2 batters coming up.

Okay, lol. So the pitcher gets out and the leadoff guy has a 1 in 3 chance of adding onto that at that point too.

[homer]

Reds used 6 guys from their 'pen yesterday. Be nice to chase this Hoffman clown early.

 

edit: guess it was 5 and an infielder

 

edit: guess it was 4 and two infielders

 

edit: go brewers

[adambr2]

No, but he did stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night.

Why do we just assume as a given that the pitcher makes an unproductive out? Houser is a pretty good hitting pitcher.

[SeaBass]

Can't win (predictions) if you don't play lol.

 

Narvy another near miss.

[adambr2]

Guys making an unproductive out with nobody out like Yelich just did followed by the next guy making a productive out has just been killing us all season. Feels like it happens anytime we get a runner at 2nd with nobody out.

[brewerfan82]

[SomewhereInTime]

This guy is a complete trashcan on the mound. It takes a lot of effort to only score one run through three innings.

[adambr2]

Yes, thank you. The average NL pitcher OPS is .329.
