2018-08-03: Rockies (Márquez) at Brewers (Guerra) 7:10 PM CDT [Brewers win, 5-3 -- Eric Thames Walk-Off 3-Run HR]

[adambr2]

I'm too busy to look it up, but has any other organization had 3 players (in a year or 2) have breakout years then perform WORSE the next year than before the breakout. Arcia, Santana and Villar have all had a year after their breakout that was worse than the year before the breakout... Sure, there's often regression after a big year, but to be worse than before the breakout is just mind boggling...

 

Santana is actually hitting pretty well in AAA right now though, whatever that is worth.

 

It is worth nothing, unfortunately.

It's worth nothing. Perhaps less than nothing.

Wondering if David Gruber eats often at Pizza Ranch?

 

and drinks SOL beer?

 

Man I HATE those commercials, all of them!

What we need is a facebook game.

Unfortunately, Colorado Springs hitting means nothing (worse than nothing) and I can't wait for the Brewers to get out of that ********... If they want to see improvement send them to AA where pitches actually break...

And while having a stressful day in court is visited by Tubie, closes his eyes and says "Wisconsin Dells", and everything is right again.

Nothing wrong with that turn from Shaw. Almost had him.

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

I question leaving Guerra in here. The ironclad policy of never bringing in one of the top relievers when the team is behind has cost the Brewers a few times before.

 

Albers has pitched the last couple games. He's the only one allowed to pitch when they are down.

Yeah, Shaw's defense should be low on the concerns for this team. Until we get the offense going (which might never happen under Coles), Shaw's defense will be more than fine at 2B.

[markedman5]

Nice work from Guerra.

[TURBO]

I'm impressed that Guerra got it done, and more impressed that CC decided that starting pitchers CAN go more than 5 innings with a low pitch count.

 

Well done!

[mtrebs]

Good outing for Guerra. Too bad we're down, but let's get some runs!

[pacopete4]

Tip of the cap to Guerra. Team needed that.

[Fear The Chorizo]

Because it makes absolutely no sense based on what we've seen so far, it's gotta happen. I'm calling Schoop for a hero AB in this game.

[BruisedCrew]

Homerun Derby jinx continues to plague Aguilar...........or he is just back to we though he was..

 

It may not be a Home Run Derby jinx, but I really think the whole All Star thing, including the campaigning for the final spot and the attention that got, then participating in all of the All Star activities, put him out of whack. I don’t think it’s poor coincidence that he peaked the day the All Star lineups were announced and the campaigning began.

 

It seems like his regression started before the Home Run Derby. I don't have the stats, but I think his regression started the day he was named the voted in All-Star.

 

That’s about it. He had a really bad series in Pittsburgh, like everyone else.

[Eye Black]

I have a strangely good feeling about the next two innings, but please don’t mark my words.

[BruisedCrew]

CC got away with leaving Guerra in, but scoring against Ottavino is going to be tough.

 

Davis blew a save against the Cardinals yesterday so maybe they can get to him.

Does Cain and Yelich have something to do with this feeling you are having?

I said DON’T!!

Ottavino's slider is unreal...idk how anyone is supposed to hit that.

[markedman5]

Damn

[jonescm128]

Shoot

[PinaMadness]

Darn it.

[TexasCheesehead]

Gosh dern.

[jonescm128]

Cain is about due for a HR...its been almost two months.
