8/29 - Brewers (Burnes) vs Cubs (Steele): 7:05pm, Marquee

[UMFan83]

Not sure how with the pitch clock but Burnes is somehow working extremely slow. 

[UMFan83]

That was an awful AB by Morel. Guess his mental break isn’t working as well as Seiya’s 

[Transmogrified Tiger]

Seiya is 5 for 11 in SB and Burnes was throwing over like he was prime Rickey Henderson

I wonder if he's doing that simply as a way to give himself extra time between pitches.

I think wisdom has a much better chance of lucking into a hr right now 

[UMFan83]

Geez, he’s toying with the Cubs. Think we can win 1-0? 
 

the other crappy thing about the Brewers easy win yesterday is they can have the back of their pen jump in once Burnes is done, which based on his PC is gonna he awhile

Needed that relatively low PC inning from Steele. Now there’s at least a chance he can pitch 6 full innings

[JBears79]

Lets get some runs this inning please

[CubinNY]

They’re going to put some runs up this inning 

[UMFan83]

Funny get our 2nd hit and its immediately erased with a GIDP

A lot of hard contact that inning, maybe the third time around will do it

[javy knows my name]

I love Steele very much. He's clearly gassed (for the season) and fighting so hard

[UMFan83]

93 pitches through 5 and 3-4-5 due up the third time through the order.  Does Steele go out for 1 more?

Feels a bit risky, but then again this particular Brewers lineup is Yelich, Contreras, then thoughts and prayers for the other 7 so I'm not exactly intimidated by who's due up.

I probably wouldn’t. Really need him down the stretch and we aren’t winning a playoff spot today. We have a full bullpen today and tomorrow before an off day. 

[UMFan83]

No DPs no Ks please

[UMFan83]

Terrible horsefeathers luck

[Andy]

In my head it's probably horsefeathers like that that's been happening for the Brewers this entire win streak

[WhyCantWeWin]

Damn that was stupid

[UMFan83]

Chance to score runs and chance to run up his PC, got a pitch and hit one hard. That’s all you can do

 

Edit: I guess statcast only had it at 71 mph so I guess not that hard, but it was well enough to be a 2 run single with better location

[Transmogrified Tiger]

The Brewers are 14th in MLB in run differential and 6th in winning percentage

[Irrelevant Dude]

Canha is an awkward looking dude.  Just catching the ball at first base he looks like he's going to fall over.

[Derwood]

This has been an effective but insanely inefficient outing by Steele

[UMFan83]

This has to be Steele's last batter.  He has an arguably bigger start on Sunday vs. Cincinnati and is at 110 pitches.  Not great

Great bounceback though.  Was at 71 pitches through 2 innings and finished the last 4 in 40 pitches

That's one hell of a job by Steele tonight.
