2017-06-10: Brewers (Guerra) vs Diamondbacks (Godley) 9:10 p.m. CST [Brewers lose, 3-2; Hader debuts with a clean 7th inning]

Something wrong with Santana's arm? Limp at his side when he ran off wasn't it?

[adambr2]

Hernan!

[markedman5]

Boom!

[MrTPlush]

Goldschmidt doesn't swing at the bad slider Guerra threw on the first pitch and the rolls over on another pitch. Not sure why MLB hitters let so many good 1st pitches go by that they can hit hard.

 

I know a lot of coaches preach not swinging at off-speed pitches on the first pitch. Or as the other poster said most batters pitch a pitch/+location and if it isn't there they won't swing.

[adambr2]

Gotta think we see Hader tonight for at least an inning. D'Backs have quite a few lefties in the lineup, especially if Guerra doesn't make it past 5.

[pacopete4]

I hate the one sleeve look. Hopefully Phillips ditches that.

[adambr2]

Brinson in the dugout! Maybe him and Hader make their debut on the same night.

[jerichoholicninja]

Anyone know what kind of paperwork is involved when a guy gets called up for the first time?

[wildcat83]

Brinson in the dugout! Maybe him and Hader make their debut on the same night.

 

Looks like a well received arrival. Lot of hugs and high 5's. Very small thing I guess, but good to see it seems like he's well received.

[CheezWizHed]

That had to be a little distracting for Maverick to be up there with everyone greeting Brinson.

[markedman5]

Thames shouldn't be in the outfield......

[BallFour]

I understand getting Jesus in the lineup but Thames in LF has to end, especially with the leg problems

[CheezWizHed]

[sarcasm]Pull Thames[/sarcasm], Put in Brinson

[rondoman]

Thames in the outfield is just setting him up to fail.

[adambr2]

Thames has absolutely no business playing the outfield. I'm a little tired of seeing an organization loaded with outfielders continue to play guys in left who aren't outfielders like the defense doesn't matter there.

[trwi7]

It's unbelievable how bad umpires are. Not only was he blocking home plate but he was safe anyways.

[CheezWizHed]

Looks like he was safe. Ump was in the wrong spot to see the play

[markedman5]

Going to cost a run

[rondoman]

He's safe.

[pacopete4]

DL Thames too

[CheezWizHed]

Ironically, Pina was blocking the plate at first, but then moves his leg, which allows the runner's hand to get in...

[rondoman]

Cmon now the Thames outfield experiment cost us a run.

[MoreTrife]

DL Thames too

 

He's become this limping, hulking, stiff shadow of a beast.

[pacopete4]

Right now it is pretty close who is better at 1B between Thames and Aguilar anyways. DL Thames and let those legs actually heal.

[adambr2]

I'm not even mad at Thames, he's doing the best he can, he's just not an outfielder. He's going to get hurt out there if he isn't already.

 

I understand they want to get Aguilar in there but that's not the answer. Thames shouldn't be more than an emergency outfielder.
