2017-8-11 Reds (Bailey) @ Brewers (Nelson) [Brewers fall short in late rally, lose 11-10]

[3and2Fastball]

It feels like the Brewers will screw this up and end up in last place. From first place to last. Rebuilding year, yes. But it doesn't have to be embarrassing loss after loss.

 

Actually, considering the talent level in the 2018 Draft, that isn't entirely a bad thing. Get in the playoffs or get a Top 10 pick. Anything else doesn't help as much

Shaw has been absolutely horrible lately.

Might have outside things going on there.

[3and2Fastball]

Shaw has been absolutely horrible lately.

 

Ever since he got hit in the neck and almost knocked out, and came back to play the next day?

[yfinn6]

I love how I keep hearing about Steven Vogt coming back as if he's some sort of savior. Next we'll see Kevin Mench come walking down the tunnel with Daron Sutton giving the play-by-play.

[adambr2]

I'm on the verge of starting to root for Pirate wins. If we're not going anywhere, it would at least be a mild consolation to see the Cubs and Cardinals also at home watching the playoffs.

No idea how much that has to do with it, but he was slumping before that.

I think the team sensed that management did NOT believe in them at the trading deadline in July AND it affected the team some. It's not the entire reason for the collapse, BUT I think that lack of belief, that missing vote of confidence creeped into the clubhouse and is a contributing factor to the team's demise.

 

Bull

[PinaMadness]

Well, other than Pina's homer, Homer Bailey and his 8.89 ERA shut down the Brewers for five innings.

[rcc]

Both Thames and Shaw led this team the first half. Now neither one is hitting as well. Travis might be tired both playing most days and emotionally with his little girl being so sick. He came right back from that neck injury. No complaining and no DL. He is still hitting .290 and fielding well. Not awful.

[Boomer5]

I knew this MLB team was a horrible roster from opening day. Every analytics site said so. The eye test said so. Even Stearns knew it by how he put almost no thought into the bullpen.

 

And yet even I got sucked up the first place in July start. This is way worse than had they just played to their norms from opening day.

 

Well thank goodness for the Link Report.

[WoahSolvdd]

Get braun up with 2 on no dp pls thames

[WoahSolvdd]

[WoahSolvdd]

That reminds me of Chicago. They believed in their team and got Quintana, and the team took off immediately after that. That vote of confidence got them going!

[yfinn6]

OK, that was nice to see. Some dinky hits that for sure would have been outs yesterday, or another inning, but lead to runs and more runs.

[TJseven7]

Well.... this would be a big enough come back to jump start anyone for a few days.... keep it rolling... bravo thames.

[WoahSolvdd]

Lol at thames stare at camera and water in face

[treego14]

We hit bottom and we're crawling out! Boom Thames! We got some more meaningful games!

Ya but they havent maintained that so..

[rcc]

Mark is on with Ueck and he says as an owner he sees this team engaged. Ueck excited that Thames just hit that homer. Right back in it he says. Ueck says stick around boss. Mark laughs and I think he might be giving the team some good luck sitting in the booth with Ueck.

Come on man... give me a break

[WoahSolvdd]

Imagine a fully healthy braun for an entire year ...never understood why he felt the need to use. Hes a natural..w what i feel is the most beautiful right handed swing.

[WoahSolvdd]

Shaw a bomb? Break out w Thames....

[WoahSolvdd]

Or santana can break it too.. tie it up!!!
