2018-08-17: Brewers (Peralta) at Cardinals (Flaherty) 7:15 PM CDT [Brewers lose, 5-2]

[treego14]

Why do we have Broxton on the roster instead of Santana?

https://www.baseballamerica.com/stories/2018-mlb-best-tools/#.W3dtqzpP0JE.facebook is the article showing Counsell as best manager in the NL (voted on by managers, scouts, and executives)

 

Was that poll taken on May 31?

The article is dated 8/17/18.

 

I saw that, but that’s a different question.

 

Regardless, you have to wonder if it was taken when the Brewers had the best record in the NL.

[phnxcrew]

It would be nice if our guys had energy like that

[BruisedCrew]

Anyone know where brewers are in gidp? They have to be top 3. Lack of athleticism needs to be addressed in offseason as well.

 

Coming into tonight they were 4th in the NL with 97. The “top” 3 had 100, 99, and 98 and fewest was 71.

If they had a playoffs for GIDP we'd be right in the thick of it...

Thanks. Close enough to the top.

Aguilar and his utter lack of holding back on anything these days coming to strikeout on balls out of the strike zone.

[MrTPlush]

We can score runs.....

Or not...

Big chance for Schoop to win some fans. Let's go.

[Bulldogboy]

Shaw just doesn't seem to ever get it done.

[bigredrobbo]

If we can extend the inning another 6 or 7 pitches, I think that might be all we see of Hicks this weekend, maybe.

[Guest]

Oh well

[Bulldogboy]

Schoop either. Bottom of the order coming up in the ninth. Too bad.

[PinaMadness]

Yes, Shoop has an 8 game hitting streak, but have any of those hits had any type of significance? I'd venture to say one, maybe two.

[Yaz]

Can we just DFA Schoop?

[treego14]

Why is Lyles out there?!!!!!!?

[jason21nl]

This is the crap that Counsell does that pisses me off to no end

He has hit about .219 in that time with an OPS near .500.

 

In other news Villar has 2016-like stats so far with the Orioles.

[Bulldogboy]

Where is Hader ?

[Cool Hand Lucroy]

Yeah, keeping Lyles out there is bad....I do not understand.

[MrTPlush]

This is the crap that Counsell does that pisses me off to no end

 

And is anyone warming up? Doubtful.

[PinaMadness]

Hader might not pitch 90 games combined in 2018 and 2019.

[Yaz]

Brewers with a glimmer & it's Lyle's to keep it close. LOL!!!!!

[phnxcrew]

This is absolutely ridiculous.
