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

[SeaBass]

Evidence doesn't seem conclusive, good call.

[markedman5]

Damn right he caught it!

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

I honestly can’t tell if that hit the ground or not.

 

Not enough there to overturn anything, even in super slo-mo.

[TJseven7]

I have no idea

 

Ditto... but suck it STL!

[owbc]

The sweet sound of Cardinals fans booing.

[BuckyBrewer61]

If it takes 20 looks at the replay, is it not, by definition, NOT indisputable video evidence?

[Bombers]

I feel usually the Brewers are on the opposite end of that call normally - glad we got one. Hard to overturn though as you just couldn't really see it his grass even in super slow motion

[mtrebs]

No walks!

[Fear The Chorizo]

Gennett was 25 when he left Milwaukee. He was still developing, so yes, I am putting a lot of emphasis on last season. It's one thing if a 30+ year old player has a sudden breakout season, but a highly regarded prospect breaking out at age 25? A lot of top prospects don't even reach the majors until 25.

 

I am almost positive Scooter was never a top 100 prospect.

 

Yeah - never even close.

[mtrebs]

Uggh

[B-Train]

No walks!

 

No jinx

[stoutdude04]

Can we please not walk guys like Bader and Munoz?

[pacopete4]

Walks. WALKS!!! Damn walks. Stop it.

[Bombers]

That is the key isn't it. They should just have a rule, if I watch it 3 different views of it and still can't tell that should answer it for you right there. There isn't the indisputable evidence you need

I didn't say Top 100 Prospect, I said highly-regarded prospect. He was ranked #6 in our organization in 2012. That's highly-regarded. Not sure why everyone is so down on Gennett, he broke out last year and the Brewers would've been better served having kept him on board. That's all I'm saying. Again, there are a lot of prospects that don't reach the majors until age 25.

[mtrebs]

That’s why you don’t walk!

[stoutdude04]

Lol. Munoz around to 3rd after the free pass. Super.

[Matt Breen]

That's eight walks. A team can sustain that. It just blows through the bullpen throwing that many pitches.

[SeaBass]

I'm going to bed after this inning, I hope it'll be happy instead of frustrated.

Plus, you know, hindsight is 20/20. He was dumped more than a year ago. Would it be nice to have him now? Well maybe. But at the time, Villar was coming off an All-Star caliber season and had a ton more upside than Scooter. He still does.

[stoutdude04]

Is Jennings dead? Not bringing him in against Garcia?

[liveforoctober]

It's safe to say that waiving Scooter Gennett was a mistake (understatement), second base looking rough this year.

 

Eric Sogard has a higher slugging percentage than Scooter does this year.

 

Honestly, I don't give season statistics any real credence till a month into the season.

 

Yet our 2nd base situation is looking rough THIS YEAR. Come on.

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

Yeah - never even close.

[FVBrewerFan]

I like the way they've sped up the games this year

[pacopete4]

They almost deserve to lose.
