Can you even imagine what this specific episode would have been like a year ago after a game like that one yesterday?

Good morning to you.

Good Monday morning.

If you're into football and or hockey, I also offer daily shots of Steelers and Penguins in the same place that you found this.

Brewers 5 Pirates Zero yesterday in Milwaukee.

And it did have a 2020-20-25 kind of feel to it.

The offense managed two-hole hits, six-hole base runners, and struck out, sit down for this, 18 times.

What's way worse, even after Kyle Harrison's exit, following 12 pitched strikeouts of his own in six innings.

Each of the three relievers who'd follow for Milwaukee

recorded two of his three respective outs by way of strikeout.

It didn't matter who was out there.

From a pitching perspective,

Carmen Maginsky just wasn't good at all.

After one turn through the lineup and stop me,

if that sounds familiar,

Majinsky ends up with five runs for those earned all of them coming in the Brewers'

fourth. Five hits, a walk, coming in the Brewers' fourth.

Five hits, a walk.
