2021-07-01: Brewers (Burnes) at Pirates (Crowe) [Brewers win, 7-2 -- Burnes allows 1 run over 7.1 IP before exiting with minor injury; JBJ with incredible deke play; Winning streak at 9]

[SeaBass]

That was cool, he fooled me. Great play JBJ.

[markedman5]

The deke was great but man that throw was unreal

[AKCheesehead]

JBJ I love plays like that.

[sveumrules]

Yup. Love Lo Cain & don't doubt he could have pulled off the first half of the play just as casual, but no way he makes that throw.

[markedman5]

Wong again……..wow

[markedman5]

3 innings no runs for Burnes…..good

 

3 innings no strikeouts is something that sticks out to me

[wildcat83]

26 pitches thru 3? Is that correct?

 

Sure helps considering yesterday was a bullpen day

I feel like burnes doesn’t even have to throw a strike today with the pirates approach here. also, why Robertson and not urias?

[timpep]

Just getting a chance to put the game on now.. What happened to Wong? Same injury or something new?

[timpep]

What the crap was that?

Same calf issue he has been dealing with.

Sounds like same calf again...had to jump out of the way of a pitch during his AB and looks like he reaggravated it

[Bulldogboy]

Brewers need to take this out of Wong hands and put him on the shelf like Cain. Enough playing short handed.

My guess is that he’ll find his way to the IL with a plan to return after the All Star Break.

Because CC knew Robertson would get a hit……lol

[phnxcrew]

Stop throwing so many strikes, Corbin

[ReverendBrewmeister]

Maybe Gamel is seeing the ball well from Burnes tonight. Two very hard hits, though one ended up in the 8-3 double play.

[ClosetBrewerFan]

Hiura going the other way again for a 1b. He needs to keep up this approach

[adambr2]

This umpire is straight terrible at balls and strikes. I guess you could say that most nights.

[AKCheesehead]

Should be still loaded he walked drob on 4 straight. This ump is something else. Glad to get the sac fly I guess.

[Cool Hand Lucroy]

Burnes with an outside shot at a CG.

 

Had enough of these slip away in Pittsburgh to want a few more runs here...

[magnoliacrew]

Isn't Hiura required to hit a HR at PNC?

Tough to see him going 9. He'll likely be over or close to 100 if he makes it through 8. I half expected to see him PH for here, honestly.

[yfinn6]

Great.

 

That's a leg or side issue.

[yourout]

I bet that's the dreaded oblique injury.
