Series Thread: Brewers @ Pirates April 17 - 19

[element1286]

Didn't see the game, but there was a lot of talk on the post game radio show that Nelson overthrew his curveball the first time through the lineup, which let the Pirates get a good look at it, and they were ready the second/third time through.

I still don't see any reason why Cutch isn't hitting 2nd.

Braun leading off is interesting.

 

[Darkstone42]

Couple good pieces of hitting by Braun and Segura turn into a run on Lucroy's sac fly, but Locke looked solid and holds them to that one.

 

[Darkstone42]

Polanco brings Harrison all the way around with an opposite-field double Gregory's starting to look good.

Lohse is getting an ERA adjustment and he didnt need another one

Locke solid again in the second. When he works in the zone, he's pretty effective.

Yeah, he's been pretty terrible this year to say the least.

 

[Darkstone42]

Locke just keeps mowing the down. Now let's get him a little insurance.

 

[Darkstone42]

Another strikeout for Locke.

 

[Darkstone42]

Marte with a 3-run blast! I think his slump is over.

Nice, I thought I jinxed our bats after loling Lohse, but Marte's blast sent him back into double digits.

His ERA actually improved by giving up six runs in six innings.

 

[Darkstone42]

Kang is coming in to replace Mercer, who got plunked in the chest with a fastball. Hopefully, it's just bruised, but he is in a lot of discomfort.

 

[Darkstone42]

Welcome back to the lineup, Chris Stewart. Two big insurances runs on that single.

 

[Darkstone42]

Hughes is striking a lot of guys out lately.

How sweep it is, cant believe the brewers start to the season.

Remind of the 2002-2007 Pirates, built to win 75 games. A few good players, and some stars, but just not well constructed overall, and a very old team with no upside.
