2017-09-05: Brewers (Davies) at Reds (Stephenson) 6:10 PM CDT [Brewers lose, 9-3]

[Baldkin]

Definitely time for a sacrifice bunt. Don't want a big inning here.

[tmwiese55]

It'll be fine. How many game threads have people complained when Villar is starting and then makes an out and you have to remind them how hot he's been. No one was screaming to get him out the lineup then. You're in a bang box park with a small OF. And your talks about to just put him elsewhere doesn't make up that there is no one competent offensively lefty hitter to play in CF. You do have competent people to play the other spots.

[TURBO]

If Billy Hamilton can get on base a lot tonight, he'll run wild on Vogt's noodle arm. So we are in a WC chase with no defense at C and CF...

[PinaMadness]

Now here comes the DP.

[Baldkin]

Broxton just put up a .794 OPS in August while playing gold-glove defense. What more do you want him to do?

[yfinn6]

Bases loaded and nobody out is probably my least favorite situation to watch the Brewers offense.

This.

 

Makes a lot more sense to have Broxton out there and Villar at 2B to keep his bat in the line up.

[owbc]

Time for some redemption.

[adambr2]

Great work, Santana and Vogt. Clutch ABs.

[SomewhereInTime]

Embarrassing

[PinaMadness]

Vintage Brewers offense.

[yfinn6]

Not the least bit surprised they didn't score and didn't even make contact.

[TURBO]

that is almost unbelievable... bases loaded, no outs, 3 guys whif in a row.

 

*puke*

[bucks2281]

And Cy Stephenson strikes out the side. How predictable.

Uhhh...Broxton has put up around an .800 OPS since returning and has among the best range among CFs in baseball.

 

It's kind of hilarious that you would make the 'you do have to have competent people to play the other spots' argument when Broxton has been easily better than Villar this season.

[markedman5]

I guess sometimes strike outs do matter........

[adambr2]

I hate this damn offense. So predictable.

[tmwiese55]

Story of the 2nd half right there. But instead will obsess over the 1 run botched on D.

[TJseven7]

Villar with a chance to make right Clank

[PinaMadness]

On the bright side, we're playing in Wrigley this weekend against one of the best teams in baseball in the Cubs so we'll probably sweep them.

[TJseven7]

Hey buddy that third out there was by the guy who gave up the one run his Bat didn't really turn out did it

[TURBO]

Both make me sick...

 

No need to dwell on either one of them, together, the pair is sickening...

Villar has literally been the best hitter for a month, they're trying to ride the hot hand and he's lefty vs a RHP. I don't get how this is so hard to grasp why they've been trying it. They knew the risk, they're not stupid. It was a gamble, they knew, it lost tonight.

...and he should be in the line-up, AT 2B!

Hey buddy keep overreacting. He also already has a hit earlier in the game. So, if they play him at SS and he makes an error ya'll be freaking out then too. I'm not dumb, I know the risk, so did they. They're not dumb, they gambled and lost tonight. If you haven't noticed all year they're obsessed with getting lefties in vs hard throwing righties.
