2018-06-27: Royals (Duffy) at Brewers (Suter) 1:10 PM CDT [Brewers lose, 5-4]

[OldSchoolSnapper]

Pina is the team's biggest problem right now. The "calls a great game" stuff has been largely debunked, not only is he not hitting but his approach is terrible. I'm sure they exhaust all options. It is but a dream but Realmuto would look nice, albeit not at the price of Hiura that he'd require.

[TURBO]

Time to make a change after that walk. He needs to be out now, not another hitter. Geez...

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

As much as it sucks to pull a starter after 80 pitches and 1 ER ... yeah

[KeithStone53151]

Please tell me Jeffress is coming in...

[TURBO]

C'mon Craig... You waited too damn long.

 

Why can we see this, but the guy who makes the calls can not?

 

Frustrating.

[OldSchoolSnapper]

That went south quickly.

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

Jeffress put in another really tough spot. Hopefully he still has that early season magic.

[markedman5]

One hard hit ball in the inning ......world of trouble

[ReverendBrewmeister]

Wheels came off the wagon fast for Suter in the 7th.

[OldSchoolSnapper]

Suter really looks like he's questioning the meaning of life.

[stoutdude04]

C'mon Craig... You waited too damn long.

 

Why can we see this, but the guy who makes the calls can not?

 

Frustrating.

 

Funny thing is...if he has a reliever start the inning people would have been up in arms that we didnt let Suter try the 7th. It's happened many times this year already.

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

Regardless of what happens, Suter pitched well. This team can't go on expecting all their starters to pitch shutouts. The offense needs to find some consistency.

I think we might lead the league in 20/20 hindsight!

Anytime after the 6th with Suter, one hint of trouble and he should come out. That Moose HR would have been an indicator, the next guy to get on should have been his last hitter.

[rickh150]

I love Suter starts. It seems like the game just started, and he's already through six innings.

 

I think we can put the "Suter doesn't belong in the rotation" talk to bed now, too.

 

I think we can put the "trade half the farm for a SP" talk to bed now.

 

Half the farm? Sure. Yet, a trio of top prospects for 2 and a half years of deGrom is awake.

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

That'll work Jeremy. Not lets get that easy double play grounder.

[jerichoholicninja]

Can someone tell the announcers it's Jeff-RESS not Jeff-ERS?

[KeithStone53151]

Why is there a mound visit? Please tell me we aren't pulling jeffress...

[OldSchoolSnapper]

Hader. CC doesn't want a fly ball.

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

Hader coming in. I hope they aren't getting too cute here.

[OldSchoolSnapper]

I don't hate the move but it's a little...odd. Why not just bring in Hader from the start?

[KeithStone53151]

I don't really care for this move. I'm guessing Hader will be pitching multiple innings here, and Jeffress will be available tomorrow now...but I still don't really like it. Also on a flyball, our outfield defense got a lot worse.

[ReverendBrewmeister]

Well, that didn't work well.

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

Dang it. that was crushed. Too cute I guess.
