2019-04-27: Brewers (Woodruff) at Mets (Syndergaard) [Brewers win, 8-6 -- Offensive production and Josh Hader overshadow bullpen woes]

[Bulldogboy]

Petricka gets cut loose and they keep Wilson? I never understand decisions made with anything less than the results on the field. Dude is terrible.

[markedman5]

Burnes 4.2 IP 0 R 3 H 1 BB 7 K 81 P

Left with bases loaded (walk, single, HBP)

 

Still struggling with his command 88 pitches only 45 for strikes....'2 hit batters plus the walk

 

[adambr2]

They are going to need Hader sooner rather than later with the way this is going.

[Brew crew 92]

Wilson Barnes be gone soon,then we’ll have ourselves a bullpen.

[Oxy]

Here is the AB of the game...

[82brewcrew82]

Bad Claudio tonight I guess.

[Bulldogboy]

Why pitch Guerra before Wilson? Counsell is a trip.

[adambr2]

That kind of thing happens when you decide that a career LOOGY isn't a LOOGY anymore.

[markedman5]

My god

[Oxy]

That was predictable. It's hard to argue with the strategy though. Worst possible scenario and we still have the lead.

[Bulldogboy]

Claudio vs power hitting righty. Not good.

[Eye Black]

That was unfortunately predictable. Claudio facing a right-handed hitting power bat with runners on base is a recipe for disaster.

[adambr2]

That was predictable. It's hard to argue with the strategy though. Worst possible scenario and we still have the lead.

 

Claudio facing any righty in a big spot is a strategy that is pretty easy to argue with.

[NYChez]

The advanced metrics for pulling Guerra for a pinch hitter with 2 outs and 1 on is probably not in favor of that move.

[The stache]

So tired of watching this staff give up gopher balls.

[Brew crew 92]

Wilson’s performance screams dfa, anything that moves the inevitable along faster is fantastic!

[The stache]

Just DFW Wilson's worthless ___ right now. Completely useless.

Claudio facing any righty in a big spot is a strategy that is pretty easy to argue with.

 

Technically, the strategy was for Wilson to get three outs. Claudio having to get two of those outs—one against a righty—was just the unfortunate contingency plan. Plan B’s are Plan B’s for a reason.

Claudio facing any righty in a big spot is a strategy that is pretty easy to argue with.

 

So, what should have been done? Give up a dinger to Cano or Conforto instead? Bring in a righty for Wilson to face McNeil?

 

 

If this was the postseason/must win scenario one could argue they play the matchups AB by AB, but with a 4 run lead you put Claudio in for Mcneil and let him pitch through Conforto anyway.

Game #28. The Brewers have given up 48 home runs. At this pace, Brewers staff would give up 277 round trippers. 258 is the Major League record. Edited April 28, 2019 by The 'stache

[Brew crew 92]

Hiura with 3 hits so far tonight, hitting .338

[Bulldogboy]

Wilson should not be on this team right now. Dfa and nobody grabs him. If he wants to stick around so be it. Rather see what Taylor Williams is up to.

[topper09er]

Well Gamel having a nice night especially considering he was caddying for Happy Gilmore earlier today

[yfinn6]

Nice game for Gamel.
