2018-08-25: Pirates (Taillon) at Brewers (Chacín) 6:10 PM CDT [Brewers lose, 9-1]

[adambr2]

Should be a man on 2nd, 1 out, instead it will likely be 2 runs. Inexcusable how much these guys affect outcomes of games simply because they're bad at their job.

[adambr2]

Lol, Dan Jennings.

[MoreTrife]

Jennings...so everyone pitched yesterday. Did he throw the least? This is a big spot and you put in Jennings. Not hopeful.

[pacopete4]

Why not Albers? Ground ball guy that looked good.

[MrTPlush]

I support this move because I have zero confidence in us if we give up a run. LHP vs the lefty hitter is the best way to get a K here...so take it away.

[MoreTrife]

Why not Albers? Ground ball guy that looked good.

 

Yep. With everyone throwing yesterday, Albers didn't throw much, ground ball guy like you said. Not a batting practice pitcher like Jennings.

[Eye Black]

Does Pizza Pit in Madison still exist?

 

Edit: Yes it does. Many locations.

Earlier today I saw a car completely wrapped in Pizza Pit advertising and consciously tried to remember the last time I have had their pizza which I estimated to be over 15 years ago.

[homer]

If he gives up a dinger on pitch #1 I'm going to eat a pizza.

[MrTPlush]

Haha thank god we won yesterday.

Jennings isn't a K pitcher.

[adambr2]

And Jennings blows it. Who would've seen it coming?

[homer]

They really need to call up QTC from Colo Springs. Can't be worse than Jennings.

[MrTPlush]

If he gives up a dinger on pitch #1 I'm going to eat a pizza.

 

Now we are 9 outs from a loss AND you don’t get pizza, ouch.

[MoreTrife]

Forget Dan Jennings. Forget him.

[homer]

I was eating the pizza regardless of what happened.

[pacopete4]

Dan Jennings is pitching his way off this team in a hurry. Crazy how fast these bullpen guys can go bad.

[MrTPlush]

And Jennings blows it. Who would've seen it coming?

 

No, Chacin loading the bases blew it. Coming in with the bases loaded is pretty much a recipe for disaster. If he gets three outs with only that single are you really blaming Jennings?

[tomwopat]

Jennings should be DFA'd, at least until he can come up with a more creative nickname.

[MillerParkSouth]

Why is Jennings on this roster if he can’t get lefties out? QTC better be up 9/1.

[homer]

Or earlier if they want him for the playoffs

[Eye Black]

It’s time for the offense to respond.

[MrTPlush]

Why is Jennings on this roster if he can’t get lefties out? QTC better be up 9/1.

 

His stats say overall he can...lately, brutal.

[RollieTime]

Polanco was 2-2 with a walk in his career against Jennings... And he is brought in to face Polanco. I understand playing matchups such as lefty against lefty, but at some point you need to actually look at basic statistics and not overthink a situation.

Yeah last three have been pretty bad. I'd give him a bit more slack if he was giving up grounders that found holes but the contact has been pretty good.
