2017-08-07: Brewers (Suter) at Twins (Santana) 7:10 PM CDT [Brewers lose, 5-4]

[stoutdude04]

Could we please just throw the pitch...or have the 3rd baseman stand near the runner...or catch a ball that should be an error but doesn't get counted as one...

[lcbj68c]

Just another example of why you bunt runners up late in games. Tons of ways to get in from 3rd base.

[OnaBadger58]

Can't balk in from 2nd lol

[JohnBriggs12]

He's still in there. This will get worse.

[wildcat83]

CC doesn't get heated ever, but argues that call which was an obvious balk?

[adambr2]

How can I tie this into bunting = good....how can I tie this into bunting = good. Ah I got it! Go!

[trwi7]

If he was that uncomfortable with the lead Rosario could get by virtue of having a shift on, why not send a defender back towards 3rd? Not all the way but far enough to the point where a potential steal attempt of home wouldn't have been a possibility?

[superfly]

Uh.....40 pitches, why is this clown still out there?

[DocLuna7]

Send the link. Would be interested in reading that. Seems pretty unlikely to me given a 162 game schedule unless you are arguing that the umpires have nefariously conspired against the Brewers. Would suggest that not scoring runs and poor bullpen outings have led to far more losses this season for us than anything else.

 

I posted it once in this thread already. At the time of the study the Brewers were 3rd from the bottom in strike calls while hitting. In the bottom 10ish when looking at both pitching and hitting. The Dodgers had benefited from like 250 strike calls.

 

Cool, thanks. Will take a look. Ok the surface of it seems like 49th out of 50 things I am concerned about costing us games at the moment.

[topper09er]

Torres warming up! We need to score in the 8th to force CC to use a MLB pitcher.

[homer]

Hate The Drake

[wildcat83]

He's still in there. This will get worse.

 

And Torres probably next

[pacopete4]

Still baffles me that guys like Drake are the best we can toss out there at a pro level.

[FVBrewerFan]

This battery of Drake/Susac is something to be cherished

[SomewhereInTime]

Only pulling him five batters too late. Not really an anti counsel guy but this has been an abomination today.

[BuckyBrewer61]

Playing close games with a bad bullpen and an offense that doesn't score after the 6th is not working very well lately

[adambr2]

I wouldn't say the offense is back yet, either. We have a total of 2 earned runs tonight, pretty par for the course.

[rondoman]

Our manager is a ******.

[JohnBriggs12]

That's old school baseball. The manager's boss is a kid.

The smartest guy in the room ran to get Jeffress out after 1 batter, and then leaves Drake in for 40 pitches and the ensuing abomination. Brilliance!

[OnaBadger58]

Hader going 1 inning certainly hasn't helped tonight. I'd imagine Swarzak is unavailable

[Cool Hand Lucroy]

Agree on this. Hader to start the sixth and Drake to start the seventh, not to mention leaving him in this long.

 

Really, this is a game we have no business winning. Crappy defense, and half of our runs have been gifted.

[pacopete4]

Well we've won our last two series soooooo... there's that.

[JohnBriggs12]

Is Hughes hurt?

[TJseven7]

Can't balk in from 2nd lol

Nkpe. Tragedy of errors. We dont get outcome worst. They do... get that of all things. Painful to the soul.
