2018-08-28: Brewers (Guerra) at Reds (DeSclafani) 6:10 PM CDT [Brewers lose, 9-7]

I can't believe Hamilton actually made a good throw. Just not our night.

Keep chipping away. A quick inning by Lyles would be great after that tough inning for Cincy. Keep taxing that pitcher.

He has 12 outfield assists

Because everyone runs on his noodle arm. Probably too much. Although in this case it required a perfect throw.

[adambr2]

Did BA just call him "Pedro Schoop?"

[markedman5]

So it's a Lyles, Jennings, Albers and maybe Williams night.

He did.....lol

Yeah that noodle arm that can throw it 95 miles an hour right on the money.

I actually got + odds taking the Reds money line tonight. Sometimes I question Vegas effort in setting lines. Guerra has sucked especially on the road lately, and DeSclafini has been good since coming off DL.

[markedman5]

What a bomb

[owbc]

The nice thing about playing a bad team is that I still feel like we have a chance in this one.

[KeithStone53151]

3 innings, at least 4 runs. It can be done...need to start soon though with Iglesias looming

[markedman5]

So Jennings is capable of getting Scooter out........

[adambr2]

Who'd have thought the guy with the 7 ERA wouldn't get the job done?

[schmidtac20]

Like clockwork. 11-3.

 

 

Hopefully the Rockies, Phillies and Dodgers lose tonight.

 

 

Might as well stop paying attention to the division teams as we’ll finish 5 + games behind both

[pacopete4]

I was so excited to watch this one tonight. What a let down. Bah, on to tomorrow for me.

[Boomer5]

If you look at it from a neutral POV, our pitchers today in a pennant race were Junior, Lyles, Jennings, and Albers.

 

No one outside of the most homer of Brewer fans would think that is a pitching lineup of a serious contender.

 

We need to get some arms prior to September 1st.

[Bulldogboy]

The autopsy of this season will basically come down to the deals that were made and the deals that were not. Very plain what this team's needs were heading into the deadline. Happ, Fires, Lynn, Hammels, Gausman, Wheeler etc were out there for the taking and all have pitched great. Instead we traded for another third basemen and a second basemen who at this point doesn't play full time. Junior Guerra is starting huge games down the stretch and getting bombed. The real question is why did it go down like this and why did last season not appear to make positive change for this season. Very disappointing.

[Austin Tatious]

Very disappointing to come home from a long day at work, turn this on, and see we’ve been getting smoked.

 

I didn’t see the beginning but it sounds like this should be it for Guerra as far as the rotation goes. It might not stop the fade, but you have to give yourself a chance.

 

I’d love to know what the Reds wanted for Harvey. I am going to assume they were unreasonable.

[adambr2]

Cardinals just continue to roll. Hopefully the Central sends 3 teams to the playoffs because 3rd may be our spot.

[Boomer5]

I still have hopes for the offense to get hot. We should be able to go 7 deep if Schoop can get on a roll.

[adambr2]

I expect Davies to start up here next outing. We may as well try.

 

Look at those numbers for Jared Hughes. What could have been for us.

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

Starting pitching was a need going into the season, and while they have had stretches of decent pitching, starting pitching is still this team's biggest need. They failed in the offseason and at the trade deadline to shore up that portion of the roster, besides the astute signing of Chacin. The inability for the majority of the team's starters to go more than 5-6 innings has put extra pressure on the relief staff, and if they don't make the playoffs, that will be the main culprit. Of course, it doesn't help that the team has a wildly inconsistent offense.

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

I expect Davies to start up here next outing. We may as well try.

 

Look at those numbers for Jared Hughes. What could have been for us.

 

Hughes was the very definition of average/replaceable last year. No one could have seen his dominance coming.

[ThisIsMyCrew]

Yelich!
