2017-07-16: Phillies (Hellickson) at Brewers (Garza) 1:10 PM CDT [Brewers lose, 5-2 after Webb gives up grand slam]

[TURBO]

NICE!

[OnaBadger58]

Don't trade Brett!!!

[adambr2]

It's obviously going to be a better atmosphere when you're winning, but you can see how positive of an influence Counsell is for the clubhouse environment.

[MoreTrife]

Hilarious how Villar always puts his hands up towards a defender as if to say "don't throw!" when he's on the basepath.

[adambr2]

That's not the first time I've seen Villar hold up his arms like that retreating to 1st after a big turn. Why does he do that? "Please just don't throw it, I'll go back to 1st?"

[pacopete4]

Villar with the 7 game hitting streak.

[yfinn6]

Good start from Scahill, lets see if they can minimize the damage here. Tyler Webb comin' on.

[Lathund]

At least Scahill is efficient. Needed only 7 pitches to load the bases.

[MoreTrife]

Why is scahill on the team? He is not dynamic at all.

[adambr2]

Scahill is absolute junk. Blazek having options was a poor reason to keep this guy up. At this point in the season in contention, just keep your best arms.

[OnaBadger58]

Yikes, not a good location for a 1-2 count. Have to think Blazek is a better option than Scahill.

[yfinn6]

Damage not minimized.

[OnaBadger58]

Welcome to the Brewers, here's the bases loaded

[trwi7]

Yankees won that trade.

[dlk9s]

Well, we lost that trade.

 

EDIT: Dammit, my pony is slow.

A 2-1 game and Scahill and Webb are your first arms in. I just don't get it. Pitching change with the bases loaded and nobody out. Hughes to try to get a ground ball? Hader to try to get a couple K's? No, let's go with the career AAA lefty with 6 career innings making his Brewer debut. Makes sense. Edited July 16, 2017 by adambr2

[ReverendBrewmeister]

Pitch the #7 and #8 bullpen guys, and even the Phillies offense can torch you.

[markedman5]

Well that got ugly in a hurry

[rcc]

Webb not making a good impression. Grand slam from someone named Nick Williams!

[OnaBadger58]

Is this Manny Parra on the mound?

[rickh150]

Hader and Hughes not pitching during leads in 6th?

[rcc]

Get Webb outta there!

 

Yankees didn't do the Crew any favors giving up this guy.

[trwi7]

That was a perfect spot for Hader and his strikeout ability too.

[OnaBadger58]

6 hits in 17 pitches

[Ennder]

That was a perfect spot for Hader and his strikeout ability too.

 

I was kind of hoping they would not go to Hader because there is no way he doesn't walk in a run or two there. I'm not sure Webb is the way I would have gone though. Scahill is just awful, don't know how he is still on the team. 5.94 xFIP before this game and it has to be well over 6 now. More walks thank Ks, too many HR. There just isn't anything about him that suggests he can do even a mopup job for the team. He really needs to be replaced.
