2018-04-10: Brewers (Suter) at Cardinals (Martínez) 7:15 PM CDT [Brewers lose, 5-3, 11 innings]

[dlk9s]

Seriously, what does Sogard add to the team at this point? Grit is not a thing.

 

Well, going into tonight, his OBP with the Brewers was .387.

[mtrebs]

Three blown saves since Knebel injury and Knebel had one himself. Yet our bullpen is our strength?

 

Well, they do have to pitch 2/3 of almost every game because our starters aren’t very good.

[TwinsBrewersWorldSeries]

I guess I've missed how good Barnes has been absent his 4/7 outing...

 

Point stands on Sogard. No reason for him to be on this team. Villar has been our hot hand lately, but we take him out in a double switch? Why not keep him on the field and take out Sogard instead?

[folly412]

So if Hader and Albers are unavailable you just have Jennings left?

 

Hoover as well

 

I guess you could say Perez too. He's so into pitching he even hits like a pitcher.

[B-Train]

It feels like freaking October!

[B-Train]

I love it.

[FVBrewerFan]

Bullpen gives up 2 runs in 4 innings and you all want the entire bullpen DFAd. Deep breaths for everyone, on me.

Those balls were basically in the others batters box. I think we probably will just disagree on these.

 

The second one bounced off of Bandy's leg. Either way it is lazy technique to try to backhand rather than block. Catching 101

 

Spiked 95mph fastballs are what they are. It is not easy so no, not catching 101.

 

The fundamental part is that when runners are on base you do not try to backhand pitches, you block them. Maybe the chance of blocking is only 5%, but it is still better than a backhand attempt on a spiked fastball.

[SeaBass]

This team refuses to play with a lead.

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

It feels like freaking October!

 

Ha, except there is about 500 people left in the stands in St. Louis.

[pacopete4]

Yea blocking my doesn’t always work at that stage.

the dogs are howling.

Well, going into tonight, his OBP with the Brewers was .387.

 

Fair enough, but his .174/.204/.304 should get him a one-way ticket to AAA now.

 

Villar has atleast one hit in every start (except 1) this season and sports a .342 batting average (including .314 coming into tonight) and was 2/3 already in this game. Why not let him keep raking?

[topper09er]

Hernan is due

I'm not arguing against Villar. I'm just providing information about what Sogard has added to the team.

[ThisIsMyCrew]

Perez can go too..

[xisxisxis]

my god this team sucks.

[pacopete4]

Hernan is the one that should go bye bye. Terrible player.

[82brewcrew82]

What a horrible bunt

[mtrebs]

I know he’s only had a few at bats, but Phillips isn’t making contact at all.

[topper09er]

Gotta send Perez

[TJseven7]

Staring at a FB down the middle.... god we need to get healthy.

[B-Train]

I know he’s only had a few at bats, but Phillips isn’t making contact at all.

 

Same story in Spring Training.

[FVBrewerFan]

Get ready for th JJ Hoover show

[TJseven7]

Did Jennings sleep on a bad pillow???
