2019-06-01: Brewers (Woodruff) at Pirates (Kingham) [Brewers win, 12-10 in 13 innings -- Wild roller coaster ride ends with Arcia’s 2nd HR of the game proving the difference]

oh no

So if the brewers do send Hirua out and keep two guys hitting. 170 each what is the statement being sent to the fanbase? Just wondering what people think. Trying to win now? Something else?

If Hiura is sent down it won't be for long. I don't know how the fan base would take. I just don't think there is an easy answer given everyone being healthy.

 

I think the IL is pretty easily manipulated, and it wouldn't surprise me to see someone like Aguilar go down with a phantom injury.

 

A trade is possible, even this early. Aguilar isn't worth much, but it shouldn't be forgotten he was one of the best hitters in baseball the first half of 2018. He was literally OPSing 1.000 at the break and costs basically nothing. Someone, most likely someone not contending this year, will definitely take a shot on him.

 

They'll find a way to keep Hiura up.

[adambr2]

STOP HITTING OUR STUDS.

[MrTPlush]

Meh got him on the arm, he will be fine. Gonna leave a mark though.

[TJseven7]

Stop hitting people in the hand, yikes.

 

Edit, elbow.

 

Forearm inside, right between the bones.

[TJseven7]

So he steals 2nd cleanly

[liveforoctober]

As a Wisconsin sports fan ... I wasn't sure anything in this decade would come close to the feeling of Rodgers not getting up after a dropback.

 

That was it though.

[wildcat83]

Hurdle great manager, that was the second 3-0 he gave the go ahead and both were ripped and almost home runs. Aggressive smart, gets a lot out of that team.

 

I really doubt the manager gives red light green light during individual ABs during the year. Maybe very rare occasions, but they aren’t micro managing.

[82brewcrew82]

Lord we look at a lot of called third strikes.

[MrTPlush]

Hey Nottingham, we could have just sent a pitcher up there if you weren’t going to swing.

[TJseven7]

Sure did gut this lineup with subs.

[wildcat83]

Is Grandal playing 1st?

[TJseven7]

Is Grandal playing 1st?

 

Indeed

[MrTPlush]

I’d like to know the last time a team had catchers hit in three consecutive plate appearances.

 

And yes I know officially it isn’t like that.

[DHonks]

Man, I really don’t like Albers warming up. Would love Grandal to get into one here

[wildcat83]

I’d like to know the last time a team had catchers hit in three consecutive plate appearances.

 

That’s a heck of a trivia question.

[liveforoctober]

I’d like to know the last time a team had catchers hit in three consecutive plate appearances.

 

And yes I know officially it isn’t like that.

 

That's a great observation. Amazing if it has happened before. Maybe during September call ups?

[adambr2]

Crap

[TJseven7]

Crap

 

We never get out of these quickly

[Bulldogboy]

Albers against their lefties is asking for trouble.

[TJseven7]

Cain could hit 200, he'd be positive war

 

Not sure why Albers worries people so much. He's been solid until he fell off a cliff last year. This year he's back to solid.

[82brewcrew82]

So maybe the real question is when does Hiura move up in the order?

[Bulldogboy]

The guy is a natural hitter. Best since Braun so I guess he's gotta go. Madness.

[MrTPlush]

So what is the status of Keston, Counsell?

 

“Well I guess you could say he is ‘Hiura to stay’.” -Counsell

[Bulldogboy]

That ab by Perez should get him send out. Terrible.
