2018-08-29: Brewers (Peralta) at Reds (Harvey) 6:10 PM CDT [Brewers win, 13-12 in 10 innings -- Christian Yelich hits for the CYCLE on 6-for-6 Night; Brewers overcome controversy and 4-run deficit]

[MrTPlush]

I guess there is still time to go get a pitcher?

[jerichoholicninja]

I hope they overturn this just to see if Counsell actually has the balls to argue anything.

[young guns]

Also, i half expected them to award suarez third base after they talked about it.

[KeithStone53151]

I can't believe that just happened. And I'm sure these umpires will all get a raise and pat on the back. I hope all 4 of those guys stub their big toe on their way off the field.

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

They needed two solid pitching performances. Guerra and Peralta instead laid two large, rotten eggs.

 

It's time to end this "bullpenning" crap and put your best starting pitching candidates in the rotation. That means Burnes and, yes, likely Hader

[Bulldogboy]

Last place in team era after the break and today Stearns is on the radio saying nothing to see here. We have enough. No problem. We need a 30 for 30 episode to go behind the scenes of the collapse.

[jason21nl]

That they are. I heard this somewhere and it applies.

 

It’s like when Lucy keeps pulling the football away from Charlie Brown but he keeps falling for it. Every year we fall for it. Damn near every year it’s the same thing.

[KeithStone53151]

I would seriously be on board with the "throw a fastball and the catcher purposely miss it" play. That guy deserves it.

It was the first base umpires call.

[brewerswinNLcentral]

God. Bring me electronic strike zone. Only thing now is keep

hitting and get back in it

[pacopete4]

I feel a rally to 9 runs coming on.

[Bulldogboy]

At the very least I am hoping that Counsell will be forced to shake up his staff at the end of this. Having your best friend as bench coach for one should end. Coles and Sedar for sure gone. Johnson should stay but everyone else should be changed out. My opinion.

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

Of course the offense is finally breaking out of their funk at the same time the pitchers starting throwing batting practice. Because Brewers.

[wildcat83]

Yeah, but hitting him with a pitch it REAL obvious.

Tomorrow then. All 4 of them should have figured that out though, I bet even the Reds thought he should be out.

[TooLiveBrew]

How does Craig not get tossed. Seriously, you just laid down and took it. You gave up. You're a joke.

I'm normally not one that wants to see any manager big-timing the umpires, but in this case I agree 100%. This team could use more fire in the belly right now, and what a clear opportunity to make a show of things.

 

But he just accepted it. I know a tantrum wouldn't had changed the call, but migod, light it up Craig.

[PinaMadness]

At the very least I am hoping that Counsell will be forced to shake up his staff at the end of this. Having your best friend as bench coach for one should end. Coles and Sedar for sure gone. Johnson should stay but everyone else should be changed out. My opinion.

Any coach that gets his own bobblehead day isn't going anywhere.

[TooLiveBrew]

Heyyyyy! Schooooop!

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

Perhaps Schoop doesn't suck after all?

[buckybrewer232]

Holy crap, Schoop did something.

[brooks_quichenick]

That ball was absolutely crushed

[pacopete4]

Perhaps Schoop doesn't suck after all?

 

Yeah, he never did. Just a rough transition is all.

[brewerswinNLcentral]

The hitters don't lack fire. Our pitching is skyline chili

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

I wonder how much of Jordan Zimmerman's contract Detroit would eat if we offered them a decent prospect?

[adambr2]

Schoop is 6 for his last 16 with 3 HR. Can we maybe stop riding him for one night? He is far from our biggest problem right now.
