2017-04-15: Brewers (Davies) at Reds (Finnegan) 12:10 PM CDT [Brewers lose, 7-5]

[TURBO]

Villar to Gomez is a good comparison on the frustration front. Gomez figured some things out eventually at the plate, but he never quite figured out the base running part of the game. Yes, he was fast, but made horrible decisions almost an exact duplicate of Villar.

 

There is only so much that can be excused before he has to buy some bench time. Seemed to help last year a little bit, why not take care of it earlier in the season rather than waiting until after the all star break.

Why did the Reds pull their starter after one inning?

Strained left lat muscle.

I have no idea how posters here can continue excuse his utter stupidity on the bases by saying, "well, he does some good things." Obviously he does good things but when he keeps making the same mistakes over and over again that are 99% mental something has to be done. Maybe a benching will do something but it obviously hasn't stuck from the last time he was benched. What really needs to happen is a veteran needs to pull him aside and jack him up. Braun is really the only veteran on the team left and he's probably the one that's being hurt the most by Villar's brain gaffes but he doesn't seem to have that personality.

Villar getting the day off today, at least early on. Franklin starting at 2B.
