2019-07-18: Brewers (Davies) at Diamondbacks (Kelly) [Brewers win, 5-1 -- Davies allows 1 run over 7.0 IP; Batters breakout versus D-backs bullpen]

[Bulldogboy]

Brewers score. Go walk the leadoff batter. Boy this seems to happen a ton to this team. Focus guys.

At some point Hiura is going to be so highly thought of, that there won’t be any comparisons -his swing reminds me of.... I can’t think of a guy with that type of compact swing and inside out ability to get his hands through and barrel up the ball especially on the inner half of the plate. Very impressive.

 

Sheffield without all the waggle.

Griffey Jr without the tall stoic stance.

 

Take out start and finish and just look at the hands through the zone and Sheffield is a really good comparison. There haven’t been many with the quickness to the ball that Hiura has, but Sheffield fits perfectly. Just stupidly fast hands.

Funny you mention Sheffield. With all the comps mentioned last night, he was one I thought of. Hiura seems much more interested in playing in Milwaukee than he ever did.

Sigh....

Hey Diamondbacks ... it's still early in Arizona ... why so tired?

[willie key]

Whoosh

[markedman5]

They are barreling up a lot of balls against Davies early on

[Diamondbacks]

Solo HR is not coming this inning

They're not leaving the park, at least. Thank you, Lorenzo Cain!

[TJseven7]

Grisham with 2 more doubles in 3 AB tonight. Hitting .344 in AAA and OPS above 1.000. Came on like a freight train.

 

Braun... break in that 1B glove buddy.

You think he's Grissom? I'd expect him to get on base better than that. Guys always been high OBP.

Hopefully other clubs like him and he brings back something big at the deadline for the Crew

[willie key]

Whoosh

[Diamondbacks]

Awesome job thier guys. I mean, just Yelich.

 

Woooooooooooosh

It's the best way to keep him healthy and limit his starts without hurting depth. Platooning him with Shaw or Thames would make a lot of sense next year.

 

and 3-4... batting .351 now.

Next year is his last year here. I could see them doing that but I doubt he will only hit against lefties. To be honest I would rather keep moose than Shaw but I don’t know how that will work payroll wise

 

Losing moose and Grandal is not good for Milwaukee.

[TJseven7]

Agreed. But something has to go. I figure if they keep Moose, Thames is as good as traded. Shaw is the 1b/3b backup. Braun plays 1b at more 60/40 than only vs LHP. He'd take EVERY one vs LHP though.

[wildcat83]

Davies doesn’t have his best stuff tonight, but battled through it so far. Need the offense to wake up.

[yourout]

Kelly is painting with the fastball and dealing a pretty good duece.

[willie key]

Agreed. But something has to go. I figure if they keep Moose, Thames is as good as traded. Shaw is the 1b/3b backup. Braun plays 1b at more 50/50 than only vs LHP. He'd take EVERY one vs LHP though.

 

 

I really would have a hard time throwing all my eggs in the Shaw basket for next year.

[Bulldogboy]

I feel like I've seen that last Arcia ab at least 500 times the last couple years? Unbelievable.

That was pretty much a textbook throw an at-bat away.
