2019-07-02: Brewers (Anderson) at Reds (Roark) [Brewers lose, 5-4 in 11 innings -- Bullpen falters in the late innings, Reds walk-off on lackadaisical error]

[wildcat83]

This game would've been over a half hour ago if CC had made this move two innings ago.

 

The way tonight has gone, he’ll stay in to face Suarez.... only half joking.

[yfinn6]

What the hell is Yelich doing trying to bunt?!

[Eye Black]

I don’t understand the Yelich bunt.... even a little bit.

[adambr2]

Why, Yelich?

[stoutdude04]

What the hell is Yelich doing trying to bunt?!

 

Agreed. Kind of annoying.

[PinaMadness]

It's as if they're trying to lose this game. Yelich bunting?

[Fear The Chorizo]

Nope. I said if we don't add two arms we can trust he is on the road to being overworked. Most of you don't take the time to read before firing back with nonsense. No bother. What I said is a fact and tonight adds to it.

 

The Brewers have been very firm in controlling Hader’s rest. There are days he’s flat out unavailable. I just don’t believe he’s ever going to be over worked.

 

Totally agree pen arms would help the team, just has no bearing on Hader’s usage.

It will if Brewers feel like he's all they have down the stretch. I am sure they are going to be careful but then again how many games will that cost us?? Hopefully Stearns makes it a mute point.

 

But it won't if the brewers don't take that approach and continue trying to rely on their lesser pen arms because they know that the second they actually start overusing Hader, he starts becoming ineffective and the whole works becomes a dumpster fire.

 

The same stuff was said about Haders use at this time last season when he actually had alot more appearances and innings logged and he was strong through the NLCS in late October...I trust they know what they are doing with Hader, because they've proven it by actions. This whole hypothetical is dumb to hash and rehash every IGT...

[wildcat83]

Your OPSing a whole number, why bunt in extras?

[markedman5]

31 homers and Yelich tries to bunt.....

[adambr2]

That inning was just an enormous dud from the start. Yelich bunting in almost any situation makes little sense, but in a tie game in the 11th...come on, man.

[Eye Black]

A 5 pitch inning for a reliever with a 1.471 WHIP. That was one of the more disappointing efforts I can remember this year.

[Brew crew 92]

Taking Chase out of the game when he did was imo, mind boggling. 77 virtual stress free pitches, 2 outs, no one on, WHY? No off days till the break, bullpen NOT rested. If I’m a beat writer, it’s my first question to Counsell.

[TexasCheesehead]

Here comes Burnes, game is over.

[wildcat83]

I always look at opponent average on the reliever stat chart. That .315 for Burnes is rough. Hopefully that starts to whittle down.

[PinaMadness]

I don't like this team in extras. You just know their approach is to swing for the seats every at bat, except for Yelich trying to reach bunting of course.

[Bulldogboy]

Burnes in this ballpark is kinda scary.

[TexasCheesehead]

Burnes in this ballpark is kinda scary.

 

Burnes in any ballpark is scary this year.

[pacopete4]

Windmill Eddie at it again. Calling for Yelich to bunt. Can’t believe it!

[adambr2]

Calm down, Suarez, it was a strike.

[wildcat83]

Scooter’s launch angle is set to 4th of July fireworks.

I think the non move to Claudio against Votto in the 8th was far more questionable.

[Eye Black]

Burnes in this ballpark is kinda scary.

 

Burnes in any ballpark is scary this year.

He’s only given up one home run in his last 15.1 innings pitched in relief (since May 22nd).

[PinaMadness]

Windmill Eddie at it again. Calling for Yelich to bunt. Can’t believe it!

Not sure Yelich didn't do that on his own, but if Sedar called that and I was Yelich, I'd roll my eyes Aaron Rodgers style and swing away.

Yep. No doubt about it. The thing about Counsell is he will say we need guys to get deeper into games blah blah but then turn around and yank a guy who is crusing. It just makes no sense at all.

[yourout]

That 0-2 pitch selection to Puig was incredibly awful
