2021-07-07, Game 1: Brewers (Burnes) at Mets (deGrom) [Brewers lose, 4-3 in 8 innings -- Hader blows save for 1st time this season]

[stoutdude04]

When Burnes's spin rates on his cutter were nearly 2900 (through his 5/25 start), opponents hit .154 (14-91) on that pitch. Since that time, his average spin rate on the cutter is 2678 and they've hit .305 (25-82).

 

Dang. Thanks for looking this up.

If this is the Peterson we are going to get moving forward should he not be the primary first baseman when Wong gets back?

[BruisedCrew]

This is the dream scenario to have a lead with 3 innings to go. Pulling this one out would be huge.

Maybe Jace Peterson is actually a good ball player? I mean he was a 1st round pick. Maybe things have just clicked? That’s what I’m going with anyways.

 

Ever since he's been a Brewer it seems like he's always on base when he gets a chance to play. A guy people love to complain about but he's done his job as a Brewer.

I used to count outs remaining in these sort of scenarios until the 2019 wild card game forever broke me of the habit.

When Wong comes back we might just be better off with Peterson at first……at least if he is still raking.

I think its probably like Sogard in 2017 and 2019. Ride the lightning until its over then move on.

He deserves to stay in the lineup somewhere with the way he’s been hitting lately.

 

I never worry much about where to play a guy because something almost always seems to open up.

I'm glad Urias didnt throw that one away

[Underachiever]

Urias error took the bat out of deGrom's hands. Shrewd move when guy is batting .380.

[BruisedCrew]

D*mn. Can’t afford to give away outs in a game like this.

[Underachiever]

All this unconventional defense is hard on my heart.

[markedman5]

Man……let’s get it together

[JET15]

I'm going to give my dog a heart attack from my yells if we have more defense like this

[Simba2020]

Hey a CS with Burnes pitching. Nice that he's paying some attention today.

[markedman5]

Great throw…’Burnes seems to be a little quicker to the plate with runner on first today

[pacopete4]

Perfect toss Narvaez! Great tag too!

[SeaBass]

Our catchers are beasts when it comes to throwing guys out. Love it!

[phnxcrew]

Nice to get out of that inning after the circus clown defense.

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

Hey a CS with Burnes pitching. Nice that he's paying some attention today.

 

Narvaez has gotten to the point defensively where there is no discernable drop-off with him in there over Pina. He's a damn good defensive catcher.

[Underachiever]

To sum up the bottom of the fifth: E5 on Urias, which led the Mets to bunt deGrom. He pops it up for the out, no advance. Nimmo hits a popup to short left that Yelich drops, but gets the runner at second because he was holding up. Then, Narvaez guns the runner trying to steal second. All in a day's work.

[Patrick425]

Never understand when people boo pick-off attempts to 1st (whether its our fans or another team's fans). That's part of baseball, and there is a clear example of why you do it. Of course the clown who is the current MLB commissioner has hinted at making new rules to limit pick-off attempts.

[Underachiever]

Rock: "Brewers have a 2-1 lead and have not had a man on base."

 

Wow.

[SeaBass]

I'm actually a little surprised people are that upset about Yelich not making that catch, he catches it or does what actually happened on and throws the runner out at 2nd. Zero drama. I think it would have been worse if it had been Adames running away from the infield to flub the catch so it was right of Yelich to call him off with his momentum taking him towards the infield.

 

I fully believe Yelich missed the catch because he was concerned about a collision.

[JET15]

Now would be a good time, Yelich
