2021-06-13: Pirates (Crowe) at Brewers (Houser) [Brewers win, 5-2 -- Garcia’s hits go ahead HR in 6th, Crew sweeps the Buccos]

[tigerbrew]

Nice sweep, now for the Bucks to win to make it a perfect day.

[willie key]

Formula to make the playoffs. Destroy the bad teams

 

Brewers definitely doing that so far in June

[pacopete4]

The Brewers are 18-11 against teams above .500

 

It might just be time for some fans to think more of this group.

[homer]

Has Hader ever pitched 3 games in a row before? Seems like he did fine but have to think he needs a couple of days now.

 

Not sure but I did see this is the first time he's saved all three games of a sweep

[markedman5]

Hader pitched 3 games in a row earlier this season.

[trwi7]

What if Vogelbach did it

 

He would have my MVP vote if I had a vote.

[MrTPlush]

Hader has pitched three consecutive days twice in his career. The last three games and the Dodgers series at the end of April. By my count.

[Cool Hand Lucroy]

Hader has pitched three consecutive days twice in his career. The last three games and the Dodgers series at the end of April. By my count.

 

He pitched three in a row in early 19, if I remember. Against the Reds.

[owbc]

Does pitching against the Pirates really count as 3 days in a row? More like 3 bullpen sessions in a row...

[BruisedCrew]

Hader has pitched three consecutive days twice in his career. The last three games and the Dodgers series at the end of April. By my count.

 

It certainly is going to limit options in the bullpen tomorrow with Hader pitching the last 3 days and Williams the last two.

 

The Nashville shuttle may be working overtime if Lauer and Anderson have short, ineffective starts.

[BruisedCrew]

Am I missing the reason for a standing ovation, seems a little weird? My wife has the TV at like 2 volume so I may be missing the reason.

 

Yelich bobblehead day

Exactly, I am here right now and lots of kids very excited.

 

I was at the game too. It is understandable that people were excited to see Yelich come up once after the dreary 15 up, 15 down from the first through the fifth.

 

That batting order with Peterson batting fifth through the pitcher’s spot does not generate much in the way of hope, much less expectation and excitement.

Athletics at the end of July...he took the loss in the first game, saved the second, and blew the save (ended up losing) the third game.

And yet, they keep tossing you W’s. Enjoy it every once in awhile.

I’m enjoying the wins, but if I’m going to spend 3 1/2 hours at a ballgame, I find it more fun

to look forward to seeing hitters who I think have a realistic chance of providing some action.

 

I think a large part of it is that the slow pace of the games these days makes it less enjoyable to attend games in person. The pace is less important when I’m at home and can keep track of the game while doing other things. In the late 70’s and early 80’s I attended about half of the home games. Now, going to 10-15 a year is plenty to satisfy me.

 

So, yeah, I guess the suggestions that I’m not a good fan are warranted.
