2019-06-02: Brewers (Davies) at Pirates (Lyles) [Brewers win, 4-2 -- Davies allows just 2 runs in 8 IP; Thames has 2 hits and 3 RBI; Burnes closes the door shut in 9th]

Honestly I am really glad Hiura didn’t chuck that into the second deck.

[Harold Hutchison]

I think the Crew could get him to come back with a 3 year, $48 million deal with a mutual option for year four at $20 million with a $6 million buyout.

 

By that point, one of Henry, Feliciano, or Fry will be ready to take over.

At this point with his issues on D maybe make him the first baseman. It's a black hole right now.

 

If Shaw rebounds, the Crew could then bring up Erceg, let Moose walk, and Grandal, while not the best on D, would provide a margin for error offensively.

 

Maybe move him to first for the last year of the deal depending on how fast Henry/Feliciano/Fry make it up, but Grandal is a top offensive catcher.

[TJseven7]

I'd rather play Saladino than Erceg.

Atta boy Thames.

[Bulldogboy]

Brewers have a tough choice to make. Thames seems to be wanting in.

[homer]

Woot

[sveumrules]

Thames not impressed by the Lyles curve.

[TJseven7]

When is Plesac dropping boom goes the dynamite.

[pacopete4]

Glad the Brewers didn’t take my advice and sit Braun today. Nice to see the slump ending. Thames making Aguilar obsolete would be just fine with me.

[Bulldogboy]

Frazier is best hitter in mlb I'm convinced. Brewers cannot ever get him out. Unbelievable.

[Bulldogboy]

Lyles gets a ground ball to move a runner up. Davies could have done just that.

[TJseven7]

I remember when Davies was the only pitcher on the staff who could bunt. Now there are none.

Or he could have hit into a double play.

[bigredrobbo]

The Plesac Experiment can end any time now.

[OldHeidelberg]

The Plesac Experiment can end any time now.

 

No kidding, it was driving me crazy yesterday when he was going on and on about how awesome Woodruff was pitching while he was giving up line drive hit after hit.

Maybe. But it was 2nd and 3rd, so it woulda been tough.

[Bigblast]

Agreed, He can be good in segments on the local sports radio stations, but listening to him do entire games is way too much.

With runners on second and third? Not likely.

[stoutdude04]

Bunt 'single's. Yea, okay. Shoulda been out by 5 feet.

It's also harder to move runners up with them already on 2nd and 3rd.

[Oxy]

Not sure why Thames completely bailed on that throw from Davies. There woulda been a mild collision, but Thames isn't exactly a feather....

[Brew crew 92]

Can’t get Cabrera out either, great signing by the Pirates.

When I saw this post was after Davies struck out with a runner on first & one out.

 

Lyles moved a runner up after Davies first at bat, so I thought you were referincing what had just happened, not what happened earlier in the game.

[Bulldogboy]

Another move him up opportunity that the brewers can't execute. Boy this team is bad fundamentally.

[Bulldogboy]

Braun does his job and Hirua has an rbi. You just cant win this way long term.
