2019-07-05: Brewers (Davies) at Pirates (Brault) [Brewers win, 7-6 in 10 innings -- Bullpen blows 5-run lead in the 9th, offense answers in the 10th]

[adambr2]

So I guess the pitcher batting 8th thing is just done?

 

I really don't care either way, but that clearly wasn't the problem. I think there's sound strategy behind it, but I am good with either way. What I don't understand is just doing it for a couple weeks and then throwing it out.

 

If you believe in the strategy of it, do it. If you don't, don't. But changing it up randomly makes it look like you're just winging it with no real strategy in mind.

Thank God for Cain

[adambr2]

Cain is not getting it done with the bat this year, but he just saved at least 3 runs.

Is Davies luck going to run out at some point?

[willie key]

Keep it going Milwaukee. We got a shot at a record

Just saw the explanation from Counsell on why they won't just put Braun on the IL since they don't want to use him. This team has been a mystery all season with its roster management. He didn't even give an answer as to why it doesn't make since to play a man down against a division rival who is right behind you in the standings. It is unbelievable.

[markedman5]

So when is it more about your offense then the opposing pitcher?

 

Everybody isn't Justin Verlander.

There you go

[markedman5]

Situational hitting fails again.

[treego14]

Yay!

[markedman5]

Hey a clutch hit!

[folly412]

OMG a run! Promote Andy Haines!

[willie key]

Beautiful

Good things happen if you make contact

I realize it's been a week, but I think I am over the Saladino experiment

Was just saying this out loud to my dog.

[willie key]

Saladino is a disaster call up. I guarantee you hernan Perez would have done better

 

But counsell wanted to break up that clubhouse for a reason

[yourout]

They need to just swallow their pride and Bring Hernan Perez back up.

Salad slicer is now 1 for 22

[folly412]

Grisham with a leadoff homer tonight. But we'd good with Saladino starting in left and Braun on the active roster in case he's needed once this weekend for a pinch hit strikeout.

[jason21nl]

Dude has to be hurt. A 4 pitch walk to Arcia is practically impossible

[willie key]

Interesting pitching change.
