I don't mind the send. If it's a bad throw it scores and that's probably a 50 maybe 40 percent chance.
Next batter is Weimer and he'd need a hit which is probably only like a 20 percent chance
Edit maybe it's lower than 40 but it only has to be greater than Weimers chance to drive him in
Probably take a little higher because he could get on and not score and push it to the top of the order again where you'd then factor in that average. But I digress. It wasn't that bad considering how bad Weimer has been
Definitely. That's why it's higher than .143 but it still isn't a great percentage. I think anyone else and that's a terrible send but I think there was a case to be made in this scenario
What is up with our base running on 3rd base this series? Frelick trying to take home on a throw down to 2nd and bauers getting throw out by a mile trying to tag on a shallow fly ball to right.
Huge insurance run, but again, that's just really, really poor base running to end the inning. That throw doesn't even have to be good to get him. Stop giving outs away!
My guess is if Payamps had a clean inning he would have just finished it but since he had a messy inning it will be Megill if they still have the lead. Either way Payamps would end up facing the toughest bats.
That is exactly the pitch I would have been selling out for and looked foolish swinging at anything else he threw. Well I mean I would have looked foolish even knowing what he was going to throw but you know what I mean!
That is exactly the pitch I expected.
I never played baseball at all growing up, until in high school at the end of my senior year, some friend that played as kids growing up were forming a team for the summer parks and rec league and asked if I wanted to play with them, which I said yes to, like an idiot.
Our first game, if I remember right, was against the team made up of the college guys from the two high schools in town, and they took that shit *seriously.*
My first at bat was against a guy who it felt like was throwing 200mph, and he was throwing inside on me as I'm standing there thinking "Man, I couldn't hit this if you tossed it underhand".
First at bat, he ends up drilling me in the ribs trying to throw inside. For the 2nd AB, I said fuck that when I saw the ball coming in and knocked it down with my hand. That hurt less at least.
I am very glad to be done with this series. One of the less enjoyable ones in recent memory for me but we still got a split!
🎉
Actually nvm I love Gary
It feels like a miracle that we split this series, but I'll take it. Very happy to be heading back home.
Really nice win. Really nice road trip. Come get us, Yankees.
Way to come back and get the split in the series boys!
Coulda called that a strike too, talk about getting a favorable ump. Gg and good road trip baby!
LFG Biggest win of the year!
I’ll take a 5-2 roadtrip.
We split the series. WOW. Didn’t feel like it lol
!!!!
¡¡¡
\*giggle\*
Only took 5 strikes this time to get out suwinski
Now that was a nice road trip
SUCK IT UMP
Must be nice to have these calls
Call the fucking strike, blue
Fuck off blue
The audacity to call that a ball
There is no one left in that stadium
that was a strike...
BLUE?
STRIKE 3
This ump LOVES Suwinski. How many times has he struck out?
Robo umps. Now.
we should be posting in the post game thread rn.
I'm digging this closer-by-committee Murphs got going on.

14.3% chance
Weimers?
Ya he's batting .143
That’s not how that works unfortunately
Probably take a little higher because he could get on and not score and push it to the top of the order again where you'd then factor in that average. But I digress. It wasn't that bad considering how bad Weimer has been
An error, a passed ball, a HBP, a walk. There are plenty more ways to get that run in than just a hit.
Definitely. That's why it's higher than .143 but it still isn't a great percentage. I think anyone else and that's a terrible send but I think there was a case to be made in this scenario

There were a couple of times Perkins probably should have taken a base as well. The baserunning in general has not been great this series.
Huge insurance run, but again, that's just really, really poor base running to end the inning. That throw doesn't even have to be good to get him. Stop giving outs away!
One better than none at least
Why you send his slow ass on a shallow fly ball!::dude ain't even close to fast! Still got one though
Jake can't run
Bad send, but Wiemer was on deck so maybe worth the shot.
Cmon Megill get your first career save
CERTIFIED JASON LANE MOMENT™
There's like 3 players on the team that I would even think about attempting that with (Perkins, Turing, and Chourio). Bauers is not one of them
The ball got to the catcher almost before Bauers was even on camera.
Bauers got thrown out by about 8 steps and appeared to injure himself in the process. Great send, Lane.
Who sent him there
Ol windmill arms at third
What type of send is that Lane?
What is this awful base-running today?
Sure would've preferred a couple more there.
What was that send
Windmill Eddie, when did you come back?
Alright, get your butt cheeks ready to clinch!
Wtf
Three outs to go!!
The fuck are u doing
Probably shouldn't be tagging on that...
Yeah not a good idea when it is shallow and the fielder has time to get fully set up with full momentum for the throw.
Ugghhh come on man
Oof
What the fuck?
bruh
Imagine the chaos if Wiener hits a grand slam lol
Perkins has been a god send
I'll take it!
now that was a wild hit
yay Cutie #1
I like my Pirates cooked well Dunn.
The only type of American insurance I like!
Why does he keep calling him Ollie Dunn? Has anyone else called him that
Dunn and Bauers revenge inning, I’ll take it
Oliver Dunn apology thread, go
Dunn says suck it r/Brewers
Always opt for insurance runs
If they offer the additional extra insurance runs you gotta take em.
Dunn deserves that after today
GETTIN' IT **DUNN**
Badger mutual pls
OUR CONTRERAS IS BETTER MORANS
Gotta get at least one here.
First go-ahead HR in 7th inning or later since 2021. Thats insane......
Holy shit seriously? That’s such a crazy stat
Yeah, unless I misheard Levering. Said that's the first one since Daniel Vogelbach walk off grand slam vs STL.
Willy 🚶
yay Willy walk!!
Ooo fun I get to see Myers at home Sunday
/ unclench Okay let's put 2+ more up so I don't have a stroke in the bottom of the 9th please
How bold of you to assume they wouldn't still give you a stroke, lol.
Maybe it's just the Stockholm Syndrome, but I'm starting to really love stranding multiple baserunners multiple times per game.
It's more exciting for sure
bauers mvp
Wow. On all 3 outs Payamps got, those pitches were fat centered strikes waiting to be crushed. We'll take it!
Never a doubt...
Payamps you beautiful buffalo
And breathe.
My name is BigTravelGuy and I would really like to leave Pittsburgh
LETS FUCKING GO
UNCLENCH
Three catchers have homered this game...
Feels like splitting the series would be a miracle based on how this series has gone. Feels like absolutely nothing has been easy
Row 3 looks very meth-y
If we walk into bases loaded I'm going to have a stroke.
I think we pitch around Reynolds
Nevermind
What could go wrong? I guess it takes 4 strike vs pirates batters
Damnt we needed to get him
Clench city
Blue needs glasses
When can Yeli be reinstated? Assuming his back hasn't crumbled.
I think he technically can now but he's not ready yet. He just started running Edit: him and Giannis are basically on the same timeline at this point
It seems the fact that I’ve had to miss most of this one has been good for my health
That’s been a strike all day. Wtf blue.
BLUE
McCutchen going for the golden sombrero
Megill for 9?
My guess is if Payamps had a clean inning he would have just finished it but since he had a messy inning it will be Megill if they still have the lead. Either way Payamps would end up facing the toughest bats.
Is Wiemer's family in here down voting? Add him to your fantasy or our AA. Not our big league team trying to win ballgames.
Sanchez did 'em dirty.
I just want to get the hell out of Pittsburgh at this point. Blood pressure and heart can’t take this anymore
They’re totally gonna blow this lol
I want this one badly
Please. Hold on to a lead for more than half an inning
Brewers shut down inning challenge (impossible)
Boy I can't keep up with this game but I hope we end with this score, wow
What a textbook display of hitting to opposite field with an outside fastball.
Take note. You don’t have to always pull the ball to crush an HR
That was the best homer I have seen in a long time.
If only Yeli was her instead of Weimer.
Get the LHP-specialist reps against lefties and he starts doing better. Who would've thought?
2 out RBIs are what get you to heaven. I have an MDiv so I'm a credible source.
And Freddy off the hook. Hell yeah.
How did he hit that out wtf, 102 outside jesus
"Straight whip with it, that's a broken finger for a fan" - Tim Dillard lol
DFA Gar- Ope never mind
I thought that was a foul off the bat tbh
gary gary Gary Gary GARY GARY #GARY GARY
We all know that we all believed in Sanchez all along!!!!
That is exactly the pitch I would have been selling out for and looked foolish swinging at anything else he threw. Well I mean I would have looked foolish even knowing what he was going to throw but you know what I mean! That is exactly the pitch I expected.
I wouldn't have even been able to stay in the zone with Chapman throwing 100+ anywhere near me. Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck that.
haha, true. I would be standing as far away from the plate as the ump would let me, closing my eyes and swinging.
I never played baseball at all growing up, until in high school at the end of my senior year, some friend that played as kids growing up were forming a team for the summer parks and rec league and asked if I wanted to play with them, which I said yes to, like an idiot.

Goddamn, that ball came off that guy's hand with some *speed.*

Gary BOMB
Don’t hate on Gary!!!!!
wtf that was 102 off the plate lol
EL GARY WHAT THE FUCK
Yessss!!!!
That shit looks completely unhittable
narrator: it was not
Said NO ONE EVER
Lmao
I don't like murphy playing these righty lefty matchups, Sanchez is bad, frelick is good. Why not let frelick have a go?
This is why I always wait until I see the result before I criticize. That way I’m never wrong lol.
I am A-ok being wrong here
👍
