2019-07-15: Braves (Fried) at Brewers (Houser) [Brewers lose, 4-2]

[Brew crew 92]

Now that was a misplay

 

Bad route.

[folly412]

Leave in inexperienced starter in 7th inning, third time through order vs. Go to that bullpen

 

No win for CC.

[wildcat83]

Bad angle by Braun followed by a broken bat blooper. Figures. Going to look bad, but thats not bad pitching by Houser.

[nate82]

If only the NL had the DH we could hide Braun there but noooooooooooooooooooooooo BaSeBaLl TrAdItIoN!1!111!!!

[adambr2]

If the Stearns decides to sell, it should be because of the offense, not the pitching.

 

Stearns isn’t selling because he’s not an idiot like some on here

 

3 games over .500!!! Sell everything!!

 

3 games over .500? They're about to be 1 over.

[adambr2]

Yeah Braun really has to open this inning with a catch on that Albies hit, and now that opened it up.

2 hard hit balls off Houser all night, and one of em should have been caught.

[wildcat83]

Well, Guerra gave up runs in like his last 12 outings, so maybe he’s due....

[OldSchoolSnapper]

The only thing that can fix this team now is ... A players' only meeting.

[nate82]

Guerra throws two bad pitches in the zone and gets 2-outs.......

 

Stupid baseball logic

Everything is totally fine. Selling is ridiculous and this team is totally making the playoffs with ease.

The pitching stinks, you were wrong, just own it and move on, rather than this constant rationalization to excuse every pitcher on the staff that you like from blame.

[Bulldogboy]

If you take Hiura out of this lineup what the heck would u have? It continues to amaze that it took as long as it did to get the guy here. It's unbelievable. I can't believe any other team in baseball would have made the same call.

 

I'm probably one of the biggest Hiura boosters on this board, but he wasn't even in the minors two full seasons before being called up...pretty much all the other teams in baseball would have made the same call, and many would have kept him in the minors longer. What I disagree with was their decision to send him down after his callup and after it was obvious he belonged in the everyday MLB lineup.

I agree with this actually. That's more of what I meant.

Yea, he threw well. If we do fall out of contention I hope we end the year with Woodruff, Houser, Burnes, Peralta all in the rotation. Might as well see what they have going forward.

[adambr2]

Guerra has got to have the best luck of any pitcher in the majors. He constantly gets away with mistakes, whereas Corbin Burnes gets hammered every time if he misses his spot by a half inch.

Wait, your saying we didn’t end up with 5 TOR starters?

[Bulldogboy]

I said it the other day when is the last time a brewers reliever had a drama free inning in a spot with the game still up for grabs? It's seems like weeks. The inability to just put together a 123 inning out of the pen is hard to believe.

[Brew crew 92]

The only thing that can fix this team now is ... A players' only meeting.

 

Like your thought, offense, defense and pitching has been bad, all 25 responsible. We’ll check that 22. Yelich Woody Hader can skip the meeting

[Bulldogboy]

Well Braves pen hasn't been great so let's see what we can do against them.

There’s literally nobody down there other than Hader that I don’t think “Oh god” when that door opens.

[Bulldogboy]

What's the difference between Saladino and Nate Orf at this point? I mean they must really be sour on Hernan.

[pitchleague]

I’m about done with this Saladino experiment.

[nate82]

Yeah another useless PA for Saladino. Can he be removed from the roster already he adds no value to the team at all.

[Jopal78]

Saladino’s chance has just about got to be up. Just 3 hits in 35 at bats and 15 strike outs. That’s why the Sox does him in the first place; he can’t hit

[phnxcrew]

I wonder if Yelich would have 40 homers already if he had any kind of 3/4 support behind him on a nightly basis. BOOOOO
