2018-09-25: Brewers (Gonzalez) at Cardinals (Gomber) 7:15 PM CDT [Brewers win, 12-4 -- Braun 2 HRs, Yelich for MVP of NL, AL, & Universe]

[FVBrewerFan]

This ump seems to be calling a fairly tight zone. Not a bad or inaccurate zone...just tight. Isn't really giving anything anywhere outside the zone.

 

What's is this "zone" you speak of?

-Jonathan Schoop

[StearnBrewliever]

Im gonna beat a dead horse. Villar on this team makes way more sense than Schoop. Loved 3 of the 4 trades but that one.....ugh.

[Bulldogboy]

Nice play Schoopy

[markedman5]

Great play by Schoop

I'll beat a similar dead horse then. It was 100% obvious that Counsell was done with Villar.

Well if we pretend he would have heated up here...I tend to be a realist and just accept we weren’t fixing him for whatever reason. Still not great...but is what it is.

 

Still was kind of a pitiful trade value wise regardless though in my opinion.

[coolhandluke121]

Sucks that they couldn't get a guy on base in the top of the inning. Not ideal to have Gio lead off but you gotta leave him in to face Carpenter in the bottom of the 3rd.

Schoop went from probably the hottest hitter in baseball to the coldest in a matter of days. If he would have kept up the pace he was at, it would have gone down as a great trade. And the team would likely have a few more wins. That's baseball, though.

Yeah that is baseball...and guys don’t stay hot forever. Wish it was that easy.

Gio is one of those lefty pitchers who bats right. You'd think with a career BA of .092 he'd just stand in there in the lefty batters' box to avoid getting hit on his throwing arm.

Absolutely true. He was just taking up a roster spot, serving no purpose whatsoever.

 

Agree with CC on this issue or not, Villar was done in Milwaukee. Trading him or cutting him loose was the only option.

[YelichPosse]

Can Aguilar start at bats with 2 strikes ? Man he has had a great year.

[topper09er]

Yelich and Scooter both 0-2, Yeli leads the batting race .320 to .314

[TURBO]

Bob Uecker talking about breaking a sacred Coach Cooper rule...Scoreboard watching.

[coolhandluke121]

I'm gonna beat my own dead horse and again bring up pitchers batting when you have multiple long relief options. This could have been a huge inning. Now Gio will probably give up runs in the bottom of the inning. It always seems pitchers give up more runs in the inning after they hit.

I like Gio’s Curve tonight ... hope he doesn’t implode but his stuff seems good so far!

They blew through 10 relievers last night. Granted several did not throw a lot of pitches, but I think it would be prudent to let a guy who looks fine go more than two innings.

I mean if it was the 5th or 6th I'm right there with you. Or maybe if the bases were loaded with no one out and we had a chance to blow it open.

 

I doubt he'll get up again, but no one was even on. We have some long relief options but we can't really just never have our pitchers hit ever.

You don't have to shut them out to win.

 

They're up two, let him roll for a while.

[pacopete4]

Gio neutralizing Babe Carpenter just fine.

[topper09er]

Ueck missed one, talking to him about swimming, BA asked if he did synchronized swimming, he should have said no I just sink

I really did have to say something didn't I?

[YelichPosse]

Ueck may be tough to listen to on the radio but man is he still fun ... we are truly lucky to have him ... and would love to get that man a ‘ship... nobody deserves it more

[MrTPlush]

I don’t need his literal play by play while watching on TV....

[shanedog19]

Man if we could tack one two more runs I think we really take the wind out of the Cardinals sails.
