2017-07-07: Brewers (Guerra) at Yankees (Montgomery) 6:05 PM CDT [Brewers win, 9-4. Aguilar hits go-ahead grand slam.]

[rcc]

I second that!

[jerichoholicninja]

It's a shame both Aguilar and Thames are only 1B. Those are two bats that would be great to have in the lineup everyday.

[adambr2]

I can see why Counsell is so reluctant to use the words 'bench player' for any position player on this team. There isn't a guy on this 'bench' (Aguilar, Perez, Sogard, Vogt) that isn't starter quality.

[markedman5]

Sigh

[rcc]

Villar should have let Arcia get that. I miss Sogard.

I went to Milwaukee last Sunday and witnessed Guerra's last start. Until I saw him pitch in person, I didn't have a good feel for how hard Pina had to work behind the plate. Guerra's control wasn't there, and I couldn't put a number on all of the balls in the dirt that Pina had to block. His splitter produces allot of swings and misses, but I was really surprised that Pina didn't need a week off between Guerra starts.

The way Villar and Santana play defense makes you question if someone else helps them put their glove on.

[TURBO]

The way Guerra has pitched this season, the defense HAS to show up, this is ridiculous.

we may have dodged a HUGE bullet when Villar turned down our offer this past off season... Isan Diaz can't get here soon enough.

[SomewhereInTime]

Pace of this game has grinded to a halt, painful to watch

Quite possible that Keston Hiura gets here first.

[markedman5]

Lead was fun while it lasted

[Lathund]

What makes Guerra's starts even worse is that he works so painfully slow. So the torture gets extended. He certainly is not getting any help whatsoever from Santana and Villar today though, that should've been a solo HR.

[markedman5]

Defense is a joke tonight

[jerichoholicninja]

How do you blow that call?

[adambr2]

5 errors in 3 and a third. Unreal.

[rcc]

Villar wanted more money and rejected the offer. Well, right here in Yankee Stadium he doesn't look like much. Stearns dodged a bullet.

 

Jesus didn't do us any favors just now either.

 

Now the rain and we have a delay.

 

Miller Park and that roof takes care of things like this. But the very expensive new Yankee Stadium doesn't have that option.

[folly412]

Of all pitchers you want to make 4 extra outs and overcome 2 extra bases, Guerra's at the very bottom. Rain, rain, until we learn to play defense!

[wildcat83]

Gameday says rain delay at the top and injury delay in the play by play....

[SomewhereInTime]

Hopefully the rain lasts long enough to end guerra's start, or postpone would be fine.

[rcc]

Postpone this game sounds good to me. This game doesn't belong in the books with those 5 errors and counting. Embarrassing!

[JohnBriggs12]

Villar can't hit or field.

[BigDaddy1974]

I've coached little league teams with significantly better defense. I feel bad for Guerra. One run earned but down 3-2. Still, he is struggling badly to put away hitters. He just hasn't been able to locate like he needs to in order to succeed with reduced velocity. I give hm credit for battling but maybe he is in need of another DL stint or maybe some time in the pen.

[wildcat83]

What's the record for errors in a game?

[JohnBriggs12]

Not an excuse but when you work as slow as Guerra does, the defense falls asleep. He needs to pick up the pace.
