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]

[Underachiever]

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.

I do it every time the opposing team does it, because, tradition. And it makes my son shake his head.

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

 

Wow.

 

Still nobody LOB.

[owbc]

Now would be a good time, Yelich

 

Or end the inning on one pitch…

[Simba2020]

At least Yelich made contact that time.

[yfinn6]

At least be put the ball in play this at-bat.

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

At least Yelich made contact that time.

 

He hit it hard.

 

Silver linings

[JET15]

Now would be a good time, Yelich

 

Yelich: 2 Ks, 1 GIDP

 

What a line so far

Booing the pickoff attempt is also part of baseball. It is rare to go to a major or minor league game where the away pitcher isn't booed for doing so.

[BruisedCrew]

Williams hasn’t been idle as long as Hader, but if either of them is called on today I hope they aren’t as rusty as Diaz was on Monday. They won’t have the luxury of a cushion like Diaz had.

Lol. Your son sounds like my son. He does not suffer fools when it comes to baseball.

[titletownking]

He just doesn’t look anywhere near the player we came to know. And his new $ hasn’t even kicked in yet.

The boos annoy me too but honestly that's part of a fan's job and is as much a part of the game as anything.

 

I do think fans are a little quick to boo these days because it seems like they start right with the first pick-off attempt, it used to be a pitcher would have to throw over 2 or 3 times in an at bat for the boos to start up.

Perfect pitch Lindor

[AKCheesehead]

Why in the hell does lindor not get tossed for that?

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

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

 

I hope, and I believe the Brewers also hope, that Tellez takes hold of that job.

It slows the game down so much especially when a pitcher throws over 4 or 5 times before even throwing a pitch. One or two times fine but after that just throw a dang pitch already.

Maybe, but I still find it annoying. I also feel like it has increased dramatically over the years. I don't remember a lot of booing of pick off moves 20-30 years ago.

[stoutdude04]

Pretty sure the 1b umpire missed the check swing call. Could have changed the outcome of that at bat. Dang.

Yeah I think it's just a funny trope at this point.

[BruisedCrew]

This is a situation where some managers would go for a 4 out save.

And let the runner get a big lead and steal 2nd? I think the pitcher should do whatever he feels is necessary to get outs and not worry about how much it "delays" the game.

[markedman5]

Tough luck for Burnes……great pitch….just unlucky

[phnxcrew]

Don’t have a good feeling about Williams here. Would much rather have hader for 1 1/3 but that apparently doesn’t happen anymore

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

I think I would have stuck with Burnes to get through the 6th. Pitch count is in fine shape. Pretty nervous with Williams coming in now.

[Eye Black]

Not gonna lie, bringing Devin into this situation makes me very nervous. Would prefer either Burnes or Hader pitching with runners at the corners.
