2018-07-20: Dodgers (Hill) at Brewers (Miley) 7:10 PM CDT [Brewers lose, 6-4 -- Now 7 consecutive losses]

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

Keon does a lot of things well. Hitting I'm afraid is not one of them.

[82brewcrew82]

Did this team overachieve the first part of the season? They just don’t seem like a great baseball team right now.

I think that's probably accurate.

[jjgott]

The #FreeNateOrf brigade has gone quiet lately

[adambr2]

CC doesn’t get the blame for “not seeing it coming”. He gets the blame for having a fresh bullpen and leaving a guy in after it’s obvious he doesn’t have it.

 

Yep. I'm ok that he pulled Miley, I get it, but like Knebel last game, absolutely no response to a reliever clearly not having his good stuff on a particular night.

 

Counsell is a good enough manager but has zero feel and recognition for when a guy in his pen isn't right.

[MoreTrife]

Love this powerhouse offense. Makes me sick.

 

You're about to eat your words here

 

Nah buddy.

[young guns]

Getting the third out at home plate with the pitcher running and with Jesus coming to bat, and what should have been a man on 2nd and 3rd was just not the right move Ed.

No way jesus sees anything to hit there anway.

[shanedog19]

I’m so sick of how much this team strikes out. Broke the strikeout record the last two years and striking out a ton agin this year.

[Yaz]

Free Nate Orf Seriously......

[adambr2]

Love this powerhouse offense. Makes me sick.

 

You're about to eat your words here

 

Nah buddy.

 

I wonder how secretly annoyed Derek Johnson is with Darnell Coles.

[jonescm128]

On our way to 7 in a row...Kershaw tomorrow so thats 8

Did this team overachieve the first part of the season? They just don’t seem like a great baseball team right now.

 

The bullpen being nearly perfect in April and May allowed them to win a lot of games despite the consistently short starts and an offense that gets shut down, if not shut out, way too often. Whether heavy use in high leverage situations is a factor or not, almost everyone in the bullpen has slipped and a number of those close wins have been turning into close losses.

 

Unless they can add some significant pieces to fill some of the holes (and soon) they’re going to have a hard time maintaining even the .500 pace of the last 6 weeks against a much tougher schedule.

time to send Broxton down and let Santana give it a whirl

time to send Broxton down and let Santana give it a whirl

 

Other than one game with two bombs, Santana has been a slap hitter in Colorado Springs. Although even having a hitter who can hit singles would be nice right now, I'm not sure if he's the guy for the job.

[ThisIsMyCrew]

I like this woodruff!

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

I like this woodruff!

 

Me too. Pumping it in there high 90s with good movement. Perhaps Woodruff can provide what Barnes was supposed to.

[Invader3K]

Yelich leading off. Please get a couple runs here, guys.

[TJH123]

Did Counsell forget that Corbin Burnes exists? He hasn’t pitched since his debut like 10 days ago

[Eye Black]

If they are going to have a chance to come back it seems like it is going to have to happen this inning.

[TURBO]

time to send Broxton down and let Santana give it a whirl

 

Why, he hasn't earned a call back yet, and from the looks of things, he still isn't right...

Free Phillips!

[MoreTrife]

So brutal to experience the fast start and having to watch this. Gut wrenching for me. Washington next.

[Eye Black]

I know this is nearly impossible, but it feels like they are never going to win again.

[badger3034]

Not sure what pitch Yelich is looking for there. Gotta take the bat off your shoulders...

Also hasn't played worth a damn this year. None of the options are good.

I just don't want them to do anything stupid while chasing ghosts. I trust DS to not do that.
