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

[TURBO]

Not a fan of the bunt there

 

or here.

[adambr2]

It takes a pretty epic amount of stupidity to bunt with 2 strikes with a non-pitcher. Very fortunate there.

[trwi7]

This is so dumb.

[jason21nl]

This is maddening

[jerichoholicninja]

Well Craig's thinking our offense is absolute crap and is probably going to strike out the rest of the inning. And he's right.

[tmwiese55]

well all the "we need to play small ball' folks should be happy. hope it works

[yfinn6]

I thought for sure that Arcia went on that.

[PinaMadness]

If I was Price I'd go ahead and walk Aguilar to load the bases to preserve the lead.

[topper09er]

Arcia with massive swings. CHOKE UP. Throw your hands at the ball and give up on the lower half. Why do we have a hitting coach? What does he do, just tell every player try to hit a HR on literally every single pitch you see for the entire season?

[adambr2]

How the heck are you supposed to tell from that angle if he went or not?

[SomewhereInTime]

Here it is, hit it, and another rally killing strikeout

[yfinn6]

Maybe Sogard can crush a 5-hopper through the infield.

Same comment for Aguilar.

[Baldkin]

If you're going to saftey squeeze, why don't you have your best bunter PH there instead of Aguilar?

[adambr2]

Well Craig's thinking our offense is absolute crap and is probably going to strike out the rest of the inning. And he's right.

 

Bunting with 2 strikes is not a good way to reduce strikeouts.

[adambr2]

Thanks Aguilar. Might as well try the double steal a run thing now.

[jason21nl]

Thanks Aguilar. Might as well try the double steal a run thing now.

 

They tried. Such a pathetic offense they are trying everything.

[jason21nl]

How absolutely pathetic. Bunch of hacks.

[jerichoholicninja]

I hope these guys are all embarrassed about how they'er playing. It's a joke.

[MoreTrife]

Sometimes I just want to smash the Brewers offense. Trash bags. What a joke.

[adambr2]

Just pathetic.

[topper09er]

Let hold em and Braun will tie it with a lead off HR next inning

[MoreTrife]

Now have to face the reds closer who throws 100

[SomewhereInTime]

You can bunt all day, steal bases, play all the small ball you want, if you can't consistently hit the ball, it doesn't matter, you lose.

[tmwiese55]

Maybe should have let our hottest hitter who was put in the game for that reason to actually hit. Hate the smallball stuff, be confident and go up there and hit.
