2018-07-06: Braves (Foltynewicz) at Brewers (Peralta) 7:10 PM CDT [Brewers win, 5-4; Dan Jennings puts out 7th inning fire]

[Bulldogboy]

You know you have a spot start tomorrow so you have to win today. Oh well guess not.

[SRB]

What happened to our elite bullpen that you keep Barnes in there? Idiotic.

[yfinn6]

This is some nonsense.

[jason21nl]

About freaking time Craig

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

That was about three batters too late.

[82brewcrew82]

Too little too late.

[trwi7]

This outfield defense is really, really, really bad.

[PinaMadness]

Wat to go, CC. Got cute with your bullpen management and now we'll most likely lose the lead. These errors aren't helping either. Another implosion inning.

[markedman5]

Well done Barnes

[adambr2]

Counsell just stands there and watches the game unravel. Took him 5 hitters to figure out that Jacob "Big Inning" Barnes doesn't have it today.

[YelichPosse]

He let him load the bases , then face another guy , AND another guy before he took him out ... 1 run game later ... on and go ahead run at second - nobody out ... brilliant CC

[wildcat83]

I get using Barnes there, but after the first three reached that was enough. Crazy late hook, yikes.

[MrTPlush]

And now Jennings...?

 

Whaaaaat?

[OldSchoolSnapper]

You have to have some production from the back end of the pen. It's not Counsell's fault when you bring in a professional with a four run lead and he does this.

[wildcat83]

Jennings?????

[Ennder]

Wow tough crowd. RP who has only given up runs in one outing in over a month and has a .474 OPS against in that time frame has a bad 7th inning and now people are calling out the manager.

[MrTPlush]

Yah...4 hits and a walk without recording an out? I don’t care who it is, 3 runner in a row and get out of there.

[adambr2]

Are you freaking kidding me with this pen management today Craig?

[wildcat2237]

No Jeffress? No Hader? No Knebel?

 

Mind boggling...

 

I'd have yanked Barnes after the first too....cant walk guys with a 4 run lead...yuck...

[PinaMadness]

You do know you have three All Star type relievers, right CC?

[liveforoctober]

You have to have some production from the back end of the pen. It's not Counsell's fault when you bring in a professional with a four run lead and he does this.

 

I agree. It is his fault .. however .. when it is obvious the guy doesn't have it and you take 3 batters too long to address that issue.

[tmwiese55]

Should have been yanked earlier I agree. But cmon guys, Barnes has been great since he came back up. Relax, guys have bad days once in a while. And remember the second to last batter was a dribbler infield hit and had poor hitting Swenson and then PH coming up at that point.

[MrTPlush]

Wow tough crowd. RP who has only given up runs in one outing in over a month and has a .474 OPS against in that time frame has a bad 7th inning and now people are calling out the manager.

 

Because it took four hits and a walk to get him out. No one is complaining he started the inning.

[Roderick]

And now Jennings...?

 

Whaaaaat?

 

Yeah I don't understand Jennings in this spot.

[wildcat83]

The first 3 not Craig’s fault. Batters 4 and 5 to reach in a row... Craig’s fault.
