2021-05-31: Tigers (Alexander) at Brewers (Burnes) [Brewers win, 3-2 in 10 innings -- Urías gets first career walk-off hit]

[BruisedCrew]

There are the runs.

 

Who has the 7th today? Suter or Richards?

 

Richards was warming up prior to the Adames HR.

 

Warming up to throw BP apparently.

 

If this team is going to contend for a playoff spot Stearns is going to have to do some work on the bullpen.

[JET15]

Schoop has been intentionally tanking everywhere since 2017

I don't know. I haven't watched his career after Milwaukee closly obviously, but it seems ever since he left, whenever he comes back to Milwaukee as a Twin or Tiger, he always seems to rake.

 

Roster Resource's MLB Power Rankings has him ranked 8th for the last 7 days, so he was raking before he got in town. He's ranked 149 (of batters) otherwise

[TURBO]

Hiura in LF and gets tested right off the bat.

 

Nice job kid.

[Eye Black]

Keston Hiura playing LF... Huh.

[magnoliacrew]

Get Hiura another gold glove.

[JET15]

Huira in LF? Nearly a disaster on the first pitch

[pacopete4]

What did I just watch? Lol

[BruisedCrew]

Putting Hiura in LF almost proved costly on one pitch.

[mtrebs]

What did I just watch? Lol

 

Yeah, why put Hiura out there? It’s not like we need him in the lineup for his bat. Nothing really good could come out of it.

[TURBO]

high risk, what reward?

[JET15]

What did I just watch? Lol

They said Cain is hurt. Did he pull up lame on that catch?

[pacopete4]

Other than not burning another bench player, I don’t get it much.

[Sixtofan]

The blinding speed of Shaw pays off

[Simba2020]

Sadly, this is could be Hiura's best game of the season. Made a couple of decent plays at first, hit the ball hard twice and has now played LF.

[Sixtofan]

Cain was grabbing at his hamstring after the catch

[Simba2020]

Cain was grabbing at his hamstring after the catch

My bet is Taylor likely to be recalled unless Cain just had a cramp, which I doubt. Seems like an IL trip almost a given.

[SeaBass]

I think Shaw, Vogelbach and Pina were the only other options, Shaw came in to play 1st.

[TURBO]

Feyereisen with his 3rd save since leaving the Crew. (plus he has a win as well)

 

Glad we got Adames, but we sure could use Feyereisen in that bullpen.

[mtrebs]

Did JBJ pinch hit earlier? That alone would be dumb since he can’t hit either… should be saved for defense like we need right now.

[TURBO]

Well, we are getting exactly what is expected of Cain this year. Injury, play a few games, injury, play a few games, injury, etc...

 

Still have another year on that contract, damn.

[SeaBass]

He came into the game for Garcia I believe as a defensive replacement (actually likely part of a double switch), now he's in CF after Cain left.

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

Pretty much the way long-term veteran contracts work for every team.

[BruisedCrew]

With Cain and Garcia out and Shaw and JBJ in the chances of the Brewers scoring again today just went from slim to slimmer. And Hiura in LF certainly doesn’t help the defense. Seems like there should have been some way to keep Garcia in, even if it meant putting Suter in Hiura’s spot. I think Suter is capable of striking out.

[mtrebs]

It sure is nice to have Wong at 2B. Very happy with that signing.

[pacopete4]

Jamier Candelario would look nice in our lineup.
