I'm in awe of Shaw!

[markedman5]

But Shaw can do that.......

[82brewcrew82]

Shaw gets one back.

[pacopete4]

Thames just doesn’t have a spot on this team. With the way Braun is swinging it, and Aguilar of course, he should be a PH only right now.

[markedman5]

Thames picked the wrong time to slump......

[TURBO]

Wish Shaw had done that last at bat with 2 guys on base.

 

Arcia getting hot would be amazing for this team!

Well he does have a spot backing up 1B when Braun is healthy because Braun can play left field. That is still a solid amount of ABs in a year. The problem is when Braun is unhealthy (often) and he ends up in RF. That just should not happen.

 

Probably safe to trade him in the offseason though and save the money. Santana should get another chance next year and that already gives us 4 OFers with Braun able to play 1B. Shaw can obviously play 1B in a pinch if Aguilar is banged up/taking a day off and Braun is injured.

Guerra needs to get pulled before he gives up the lead. Too much offense given up already, considering we had a big lead early.

Both of you make great points and in a weird way I agree with both of you. I was advocating for Stearns to trade Thames before the deadline because there simply wasn't any room on the roster. Thames just has no business playing in the outfield, but he is a very viable backup for Aguilar at first base. I don't think Aguilar is an every game player and he needs an occasional day off.

[markedman5]

Come on Mouse

[PinaMadness]

Can't blame that one on Guerra. That should've been an easy out.

[markedman5]

That's 2 unearned runs now

[82brewcrew82]

Well, he did put the runners on in the first place.

[kybrewerfan]

It's rarely easy with this team

[MrTPlush]

We are an embarrassment.l

[markedman5]

Wow blue

[MrTPlush]

Wow.....

[KeithStone53151]

That's terrible by the umps, dude must have had his head up his a**

[wildcat83]

Check swing on a bunt attempt? Really?

[wibadgers23]

We better score about 13 runs tonight.

[MrTPlush]

Why the bleeper did the home plate ump even have to ask the 3rd base ump??? Is anyone watching the game? Edited August 22, 2018 by MrTPlush

[markedman5]

This is ugly

[bucks2281]

Good Lord, Guerra is getting nickeled and dimed

[brooks_quichenick]

Well this is embarrassing

[KeithStone53151]

Burnes warming up in the bullpen. Man with Jeffress and Hader off limits this is gonna be a tough one...
