2018-07-26: Brewers (Miley) at Giants (Rodriguez) 9:15 PM CDT [Brewers win, 7-5]

[Eye Black]

Burning through Burnes, Hader and Jeffress tonight. I hope Soria and Albers show up ready to pitch tomorrow.

At this point they need to go all out to secure this win. Obviously a nice impact of a big hit from Thames last inning would have been likely not needing Jeffress right now.

[wildcat83]

Come on JJ. We need this one with Bumgarner going tomorrow

 

Brewers seem to do ok vs big names. It's the MLB debuts that kill us.

Soria, Albers, Knebel, Williams... BP is in good shape

[Eye Black]

This doesn’t seem promising.

Knebel may end up pitching more than an inning. If he gets ready fast enough

Jeffress not putting two runners on base including the tying run for free to start the inning would have been helpful also.

[Eye Black]

Saladino, come on man. Awful.

[wildcat83]

Saladino is really wearing out his welcome.

[brooks_quichenick]

Amazing how much of a liability Saladino has been in the field. Need to turn two there

Bumgarner has a career 2.25 ERA vs. Milwaukee. He owns us.

[Roderick]

Saladino, come on man. Awful.

 

It's like he's never turned a double play as a second baseman before

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

Never thought I'd say this, but I miss Villar's defense at 2B.

[pacopete4]

Villar has played good defense at 2B this season. If he just hit from the left side better this year, he would be golden.

[Bulldogboy]

This bullpen walks to many guys. Hader has been pretty good about it besides him not good at all.

[Roderick]

Poor Posey, he might as well stand on 1b, as JJ is just buying time.

[wildcat83]

That seemed slightly generous, but I'll take it.

[pacopete4]

Soria is going to take Jeffress job. He’s walked a tightrope for awhile now.

[wildcat83]

Poor Posey, he might as well stand on 1b, as JJ is just buying time.

 

Thought they pinch ran for him?

Thought they pinch ran for him?

That makes sense. I guess I just assumed the bench was directing the throws over to get Knebel ready.

[ThisIsMyCrew]

Should be out of this inning. But alas, Salandeo errors drag it out.

[Brewce]

I don't like putting Knebel in here. I know JJ doesn't really have it, but Knebel is usually not good in 4 out save opportunities and with runners already on base.

[adambr2]

Inning would be long over if Saladino didn't suck at fielding.

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

Soria is going to take Jeffress job. He’s walked a tightrope for awhile now.

 

I don't think anyone really has "jobs" in that pen, besides Knebel. You are just as likely to see Jeffress in the 6th as you are in the 8th. I'm sure Soria will slot in the same way. Matchups and leverage outs

If Jeffress deserves to lose his role, Knebel definitely deserves to lose his. That last inning notwithstanding Jeffress has had far better command this year.

Meant more so that Soria will end up getting these types of spots late in games over Jeffress.
