2021-08-15: Brewers (Lauer) at Pirates (Peters) [Brewers win, 2-1 -- Crew bullpen covers 5 innings while allowing just 1 hit and 1 walk]

What a power swing

[HarveysWBs]

Eat that, shifted infield. [sarcasm]Why don’t they do that every time there’s a shift?![/sarcasm]

[SomewhereInTime]

I feel like Yelich has had a reasonably high amount of ground ball hits down the left field line. I wonder why teams continue to use the huge shift on him.

[Eye Black]

Yelich with a 64.8 mph double!

 

…to go along with his 110.8 mph double earlier.

[Fear The Chorizo]

Avi with a blistering liner for an out...

[TwinsBrewersWorldSeries]

Lots of missed opportunities today... Not feeling great about holding a 2-1 lead for five more innings

[PinaMadness]

So do we pitch around Newman to get to the pinch hitter and the top of the order?

[folly412]

5th inning...the Vulture is in!

Gamel has some emotional issues.

 

I'd vote for Nogowski on the emotional issues if I had to pick one Pirate. Dude's always ready to break his bat or... something

[adambr2]

Strike 5 on Gamel for the K.

 

Really annoying when guys make good pitches and get punished by poor umpires.

[Eye Black]

Wow, some serious respect for Rowdy with the IBB there.

[JET15]

We're leaving too many on. It would be nice if we could get an insurance run or two here

[adambr2]

Man, so many missed chances today.

[JET15]

Ugh, I hope this doesnt burn us

[JET15]

Is that Kenesaw Mountain Landis reincarnate in the stands behind the RH batters? I bet I'm the only one who thinks that.

Yeah, the missed opportunities are really starting to add up. Probably need to score at least a couple of more to win this game.

[Eye Black]

Cousins not even anywhere close to the strike zone on his last few pitches.

[BruisedCrew]

Cousins seems to have emerged from his Covid bout with loss of command.

One of the lesser reported symptoms.

[JET15]

Whew, he got out of it. The last 5 sliders had great movement and he got help on that last one on Stallings

Jake Cousins quickly silences his critics!

The mound visit seems to have helped.

That whole inning was either wow or WOW.

 

Keeps falling behind in counts he’ll get burned eventually, but his pure stuff is some of the best in our pen.

[wibadgers23]

We’re just not gonna score anymore runs today, are we?
