2018-07-08: Braves (Newcomb) at Brewers (Guerra) 1:10 PM CDT [Brewers win, 10-3 -- Jesús Aguilar hits two HRs]

Whew

[markedman5]

Heck of a play by Jesus

[82brewcrew82]

Gotta get out of this with only giving up two runs. One would be asking too much, yes?

Not at all.

[WinkelsasVsSoriano]

Saladino gave one away but just saved Aguilar on that DP. Great play after a bad one.

How good is he at first? I'm not a great evaluator of defensive ability unless the player is truly awful. Where does Aguilar truly stand.

Pundits say he’s the worst in the league.

 

The eye test says he makes a couple mistakes but also has shown the ability to save errors and make some nice plays too. All considered he’s about middle the pack. Add his bat... and he’s a nice 1bman! My 2 cents

[markedman5]

Come on Shaw

[WinkelsasVsSoriano]

Really playing with fire today, but some nice pitching (in general) by Guerra.

[markedman5]

Junior picks up the defense again......hell of a job again today

[ReverendBrewmeister]

Pitching around traffic, stranding a bunch of Braves baserunners, while getting some decent run support might not be the usual Guerra start in 2018, but it is a very good performance today.

Jennings up in the pen... At some point Hader needs some work just to stay sharp right?

I would think the same thing.

 

Not sure what CC is saving him for... I mean ... guys with his stuff do need work to stay sharp , don’t they?

[phnxcrew]

Good Lord. Is Hader on the DL? This makes no sense

[PinaMadness]

Hader can only pitch when we're up 1 to 3 runs except on the second Friday of a month with a Y in it, then it's 2 to 4 runs unless there was a full moon that week in which case it's the second Tuesday of the month wherein it's back to 1-3 run lead unless that Tueday they had spaghetti as the team meal in which it's only a two run lead unless one of those runs were scored on an unearned run in the fifth inning.

[WinkelsasVsSoriano]

I'll say it again. Playing... with... fire.

 

That doesn't work out so well, usually.

[WinkelsasVsSoriano]

Good Lord. Is Hader on the DL? This makes no sense

 

Same. Is he hurt or something? I mean, I know I just saw him warming up, but this is getting strange.

[jvrocksaz]

I would almost rather see Hader in the rotation as a starter and then go pick up some good bullpen pieces.

[WinkelsasVsSoriano]

Big sigh of relief again. This legit feels like a one-run game.

[jvrocksaz]

And Jennings shuts me up... Good!

[markedman5]

I think Hader will pitch the 9th today unless we get a bigger lead

[PinaMadness]

Scoring 5 runs in an inning is great and all but it would be really nice of them if they could also, you know, score again.

Put up some runs and get Burnes in the game.

Wait, you can score again? I don't buy it. I need some proof. If it's possible, why haven't the Brewers done it yet today?

 

Edit: Ahem. Uh. Nevermind?

How many hits have they even had since Perez homer? 1?

Ask and you shall receive.
