Brewers down 2-0 in the 5th.
Yelich now 1-20 to start the year with 1 walk. You have to believe he's due.

Professional hitter that kid.
Brewers take the lead with 4 straight walks to start the top of the 7th. 4 walks on 22 pitches.
Arcia doubles in 2 runs and then Cain draws the 5th walk
of the inning.
Arcia gets thrown out going into 3rd base standing up? for the second out and Yelich then strikes out. Brewers up 6-2 and you have to assume we'll see Hader at some point tonight.
Yelich is now 1 for 22 with 1 walk and 9 strikeouts. How is that even possible?
Pirates load the bases on 5 pitches from Suter. Get Hader up.
Cluster f*ck.
Nice to see Knabel looking good.
Brian Anderson "Sogard is a force right now."
Bong: "I loved him from the start."
Are the Brewers trying to make sure they get a guy thrown out on the bases every inning now?
I love CC, but 1 inning of Hader in 5 games is puzzling beyond belief. Is he now only going to be a one inning closer?
If the season continues and the Crew misses the playoffs by one game....this was the game.
At the current rate of usage, Hader will pitch 12 innings this season. He needed to come in last night when Suter loaded the bases with 5 pitches in the bottom of the 7th when the Brewers were up 6-2. CC is a better manager than most because he often used his best guys in high leverage situations. You blow a 4 run lead in the 7th because you were waiting until the 9th and hoping that Hader could finish off a game when they were up 4 runs?
So with random games getting cancelled here and there will MLB end up going to a winning % formula to determine who makes the playoffs? I mean, if the season actually gets that far.
As bad as Suter looked, at least he gathered himself to get out of the inning.
....and then Smoak shit all over it. That was a drunken softball league throw.
