2021-08-03: Pirates (Kranick) at Brewers (Houser) [Brewers lose, 8-5 in 10 innings -- Houser doesn’t allow a hit over 6.1 IP and exits with 4-run lead; things quickly unravel in the 7th]

[LouisEly]

It's very borderline, but blue's gotta give him pitch #5.

 

Read the room, ump.

[Fear The Chorizo]

kind of hoping for a double play ball, then a bloop single this inning so they can just take Houser out of this game

[OldHeidelberg]

I mean he wasn’t going to make it but let him give up the hit.

[nate82]

I think that is the right move. He was starting to lose it there with the walks.

[LouisEly]

I guess there's no shame in tag-teaming it.

[pacopete4]

Boooooooooooo!

[PinaMadness]

Here comes the loogy.

We don't have much of a pen right now. Rather have them not have to come in with multiple guys on base.

[Underachiever]

Hembree at 22 pitches, 2 on, 1 out.

[yourout]

I guess there's no shame in tag-teaming it.

 

That could be taken in a very very bad way.

[magnoliacrew]

I was totally for Houser, but it wasn't going to happen with 5 walks and 104 pitches in the 7th.

[Fear The Chorizo]

If he doesn't burn 20+ of his pitches walking guys, Houser would have had every opportunity to finish tonight's game.

[yourout]

Figures it would be polanco.

Also a candidate for the all Brewer killer squad

[yourout]

Get someone up

[willie key]

Twins!

[Fear The Chorizo]

well...at least we aren't losing ground to the Reds tonight

[ThisIsMyCrew]

Twins take a 7-5 lead.

[phnxcrew]

These deadline pitching acquisitions looking wonderful thus far

[Cool Hand Lucroy]

Polanco homers to put Twins up 7-5.

 

Need to get out of this.

[jjfanec]

Norris can find the zone now

[LouisEly]

Figures it would be polanco.

Also a candidate for the all Brewer killer squad

The Polanco who just went yard on Cincy isn't!

[PinaMadness]

Figures it would be polanco.

Also a candidate for the all Brewer killer squad

Speaking of Polanco, Jorge just hit a three run shot to put the Twins up 7-5 in the ninth.

[adambr2]

Houser goes 6+ innings without giving up a hit, takes Norris 2 hitters to give up 2.

[willie key]

For crying out loud.

[adambr2]

Good grief, get this guy out of here.
