2019-04-05: Cubs (Quintana) at Brewers (Woodruff) [Brewers win, 13-10 -- Brewers tee off on Quintana early en route to tallying 15 hits and 5 HRs in slugfest]

[TURBO]

Hader might have to go two tonight. Assuming we don't squander the entire eight run lead.

 

Would have been REALLY nice if we could have avoided using him at all, and save him for the next two games if needed.

[John Jahahaha]

just keep saying to myself, eat those innings and a win is a win, even if it isn't an 8-run clubbing anymore

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

There's gotta be a better answer for a long reliever than Chase.

 

Considering most teams typically make the worst pitcher on their team their long reliever, I think the Brewers are doing just fine there.

Well Jeremy Jeffress just gave up a 415ft home run to dead center for San Antonio (in OKC).

The real issue is the crews inability, when ahead early, to not pour it on, coast if you will, till opponent comes back to make the game too close for comfort. Happening this year again, like last year, far too often. Need to start burying these teams.

All of the sudden Arcia is our hottest hitter?

Just maddening that we were up 8-0 and now will have to burn hader.

Arcia says not so fast! Hold my beer.

[MrTPlush]

Annnnnnd probably still not enough runs.

[pacopete4]

Best shortstop in baseball.

[topper09er]

Stick to stock car driving Edwards

[Brew crew 92]

There is a good start to burying this team!

You should probably just stop.

Get Hot Arcia... Stay HOT

I don't know, I think the timing of that worked pretty perfectly

Seriously. The real issue? Good grief. Last week Mark Attanasio was PT Barnum.

[sarcasm]Anyone see Arcia just jogging around those bases? It’s like he doesn’t even want to be good at this game.[/sarcasm]

First of all, this post didn't age well. Second of all, how can you say they hadn't "poured it on"? They scored 2 in the first, 4 in the second, and 2 more in the third. Im pretty sure thats the definition of pouring it on.

What was his velocity like?

[sarcasm]Yes, but a goose egg in the 4th.[/sarcasm]

[PinaMadness]

Woody Harrelson is our hitting coach?

The irony isn't lost.

Just saying that using one game to support your theory is not viable. This is game 8. Only two of those the starter hasn't gone 5 innings. Tonight and Peralta's poor start against the Cardinals. Pitch counts and inefficiency were a factor both times. I mean, if a pitcher is getting hit or is wild, it stands to reason they will be pulled before finishing 5, which also coincides with getting to the 3rd time through the order. They aren't doing anything a typical ballclub wouldn't do In my opinion.

 

And I'm just saying that far more than one game has formed my opinion. This organization flat out makes a point to avoid 3 time through like the plague and has for some time. And the data says its really smart to do so.
