As a bullpen pitcher, there are some outings that are easily forgettable, and some that are remembered for a life time.
It’s pretty safe to say we’ll be chewing on this one for a while.
During Sunday’s Brewers and Phillies game, the Brew Crew called upon 25-year-old righty Adrian Houser to do some mop up duty with his team trailing 8-5 after being recalled from Triple-AAA.
But the only moping done was when the grounds crew was forced to come clean up Houser’s puke off the pitcher’s mound.
If you look at his stat line, you would easily be mistaken that this was just another relief pitching coming to settle things down in hopes of his team mounting a comeback. Things were not settled in Houser’s stomach, however, as he managed to puke on two separate occasions on top of allowing one run on two hits while striking out two. First, after finishing warm-up, and then did it again after two batters into his appearance.
The following video is a little disgusting, so you can’t say that you weren’t warned.
What a champ.
Of course, the internet was all over this one.
Unfortuantly for the Brewers, he wasn't the only pitcher to blow chunks. The Brewers were able to stomach a comeback, but fell short in the ninth inning after posting four runs to fall 10-9 to the Phillies.
Knees weak, and his arms were very heavy. He is a hurler, after all. What a gutsy performance.
