2017-08-08: Brewers (Garza) at Twins (Mejia) 7:10 PM CDT [Brewers lose, 11-4]

So comical that people comment about how CC should have taken him out. Like we just have bullpen arms to continue to cover 5+ innings of work a night. Couch managers are the best. They know all. Lol

 

a 10 year old could have seen the train wreck coming...by your reasoning one should just stand in the tracks anyway. and yes, i do think garza is an okay pitcher.

 

 

And I'm sure CC didn't have a great feeling like the rest of us. But for every homer that happens in that situation, another batter hits one at a guy to get out of innings. Sometime in those situations you just have to hope for some luck. They didn't get it this time.

When I went in the shower we were winning. When I get out we're down by 4. Just wow.

There is still time. But I've seen nothing from our offensive approach that suggests they haven't already decided what movie to watch on the plane ride home.

9 hits in 4 innings certainly isn't nothing for an offensive approach.

You take too long of showers. Save some water for the rest of us!

I think he gets too much hate, but everyone talks about him like he's such a great value next year at 5M. His FIP is already over 4 and xFIP near 5, and that was before tonight, they'll be much higher now.

 

His ERA shot up to from 3.68 to 4.24 just from tonight. It's totally realistically possible he'll be over 4.50 at the end of the season with an xFIP over 5 and then that option is looking like a lot less of a sure thing especially if you have better options.

He's also 23rd in the majors in lowest hard hit rate. Although that will probably jump after tonight.

What part of not swinging at curves 3 feet outside the strike zone can't these guys get through their heads? It's embarassing.

Joe West getting suspended! Amazing!!!!

[jerichoholicninja]

Really? That's what it actually takes for an umpire to get suspended?

[OnaBadger58]

Joe West getting suspended! Amazing!!!!

After all the crap he pulls, he's suspended for calling Beltre the biggest complainer

Brewers throwing up batting practice tonight

 

[superfly]

I guess on the positive side the Giants have 3 early ones.... (??)

[OnaBadger58]

If things don't turn around soon, the Brewers will be in 4th in the central.

Jeffress is another terrible joke.

Anytime someone gives up a run they suck?

[adambr2]

Is anyone remotely shocked that the moment this offense started scoring more than 3 runs a game, the pitching started getting tagged?

[trwi7]

Don't know if you guys knew this but Paul Molitor used to play for the Brewers.

Michael Blazek "I bet nobody will ever break my record for homers given up in an inning"

 

Garza: "Hold my beer"

 

Thanks. I needed that laugh

[Boomer5]

Maybe next time they should wear dumber outfits on the team plane. Their level of play in MN has matched that ridiculous team photo.

Gotta love the gutsy decking out of the Vikings jersey for Villar. Like he hasn't done enough this year to infuriate every Wisconsin sports fan.

Screw it, may as well put together a big rally and lose this one 10-9.

[wildcat83]

This come back is going to be epic!

Whole lot of time left for it to be true. They'll be 2 games ahead of 4th after tonight.

Scouting Report: Don't throw Rosario right down the middle

[TURBO]

When/if Stearns gets rid of Counsell at the end of the year, will he promote from within or will he go outside the organization to get new blood?

 

I see no possible chance that Counsell is gone after this year. He is like royalty in this organization (for whatever reason) and my thinking is he gets a loooooooong leash. He really is no different than Roenicke to be honest. I was one that wanted RRR gone long before we finally cut that chord. I have been giving Craig a chance since he was hired, but it just feels so much like RRR that I am running out of patience. Oh, and he can take Sedar with him...
