2018-04-15: Brewers (Chacín) at Mets (Syndergaard) 12:10 PM CDT [Brewers lose, 3-2]

[adambr2]

I know Thor is good, but this team really sucks on offense right now.

 

Packer fans -- remember how many years went by when you'd wish every morning to pick up your phone and see news of a Dom Capers firing? I'm definitely getting to that point with Darnell Coles. This guy is running out of excuses.

[stoutdude04]

At this point I'm hoping Thor is able to set some records.

 

And a hit.

[mls4]

Is Cain healthy out there? He is not sprinting and looks like his leg is still sore or something. They don't really have anyone else to play, so they have to leave him in.

[Eye Black]

Can you imagine if your team traded away Noah Syndergaard for a 38 year old knuckleball pitcher (granted a good one)? Hindsight is 20/20, but that doesn’t make it any less painful, IMO.

Just curious; what are the excuses?

[topper09er]

Perez saves us from setting yet another team batting strikeout record

I agree he doesn't look right, but I bet Keon Broxton would pay his own way to New York to join the team if given the opportunity. He's been very hot with the bat, too. I love Cain's toughness, but get a CF up who is healthy.

[topper09er]

With Syndergaard pitching I think trying to steal 3rd is a better bet than expecting a hit

[Zad Fnark]

I get that 40 degree weather isn’t nice to play in but these guys look like such babies.

 

As someone who played baseball at UW-Superior where 40 degrees is balmy for a spring game, I’d agree. I never saw a player for us wearing the face masks either.

 

You.. Another UWS guy!

[Eye Black]

Tough decision here if Bandy doesn’t get the run in do you pull Chacín for a PH?

A 38-year-old knuckleballer that was actually Brewers property a few years before that. Swing and a miss!

[ThisIsMyCrew]

Bandy you cannot look at the third strike there. Put the ball in play.

[topper09er]

Bandy, you are not up there to walk, that pitch was too close to take, put the ball in play, learn how to play baseball stop trying to hit a HR every frickin at bat.

[badger3034]

Was a close call but I think it was pretty obvious that that was low, he has a legitimate gripe with that

[Eye Black]

Damn, I thought he might actually beat that out.

[topper09er]

good lord Chacin, you wont even run that out!?!?! what was that stupid half stride right before the base, help your team win the game

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

Leave Chacin in to hit, then pull him? Come on Stearns, if these guys are hurt, get them on the DL! Sick of playing short!

[adambr2]

You won't pinch hit for the pitcher with the tying run on 3rd, yet you pull the pitcher anyway.

 

What the hell, Craig.

[B-Train]

Did Chacin hurt himself running down the first base line? He pulled up awkwardly to avoid a collision with Met 1B.

[stoutdude04]

What the hell, Craig.

 

Their bench is very short. Thames out already, Braun and Pina hurt.

CC is gone. Wonder if Chacin is hurt. Every team (and many fans) could use a spring break about now. Tough sledding.

[adambr2]

If its already to this point they need to just start putting guys on the DL if they anticipate a 5-6 day injury. They can't afford to be playing with a 23 man roster every day. You've got minor league depth and options like Phillips, Broxton, Nottingham, etc, use them and give your injured guys a full 10 days to heal up instead of this day to day crap.

[stoutdude04]

This ump stinks.

Is Sogard the only “available” position player left on the bench today, or am I missing someone?
