2019-07-21: Brewers (Woodruff) at Diamondbacks (Young) [Brewers win, 7-4 -- Saladino grand slam ties it in 4th; Bullpen stellar after Woodruff exits with abdominal injury]

[Brew crew 92]

Shaw hit another bomb already

 

Surprised he’s still in the game.

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

7 unanswered runs.......impressive!

 

Pretty good considering the pathetic manager not understanding the importance of the game by running out an all time Sunday lineup then having to rely on garbage relievers for multiple innings after our All Star starter left early with an injury.

 

I think you pretty much nailed it ... well, I would have used more emphasis on the horrible decision to start Saladino in LF today, but still, bravo

[willie key]

Shaw for Thames is going to be a crappy trade off

[Bulldogboy]

Exhibit A, Cal Ripken Jr.

 

Exhibit B, Lou Gehrig.

 

Two guys in the entire history of baseball have been anle to do it so why can't everybody?

 

Also, we're doing just fine without Yelich so far today.

I for one am all for an occasional Yelich day off. You got to do it here and there. The problem is Braun being so iffy. Just the other day Bill was saying how great he was feeling after all star break. Now he's got a back? The dude is being held together with chewing gum and seeds.

I like that Shaw is hitting better. I don't trust that it is seemingly in an environment where everyone hits, though.

[pacopete4]

Call it a dumb question, but why does Yelich need a 'scheduled day off'.

 

Cal Ripken never needed them, nor did a lot of other all time greats that played 160+ games a year.

 

Because our understanding of rest as a preventative measure has evolved over time.

 

Yes, hello back tightness.

 

If Grisham CONTINUES to rake, the brewers should consider optioning Gamel, rostering Grisham and calling him up, to give more rest to Braun, Cain even Yelich, without losing much if any offense. He’d get plenty of AB’s, and be playoff eligible.

No. No they shouldn’t.

[willie key]

If hader finishes this off that would be back to back bullpen wins. If this is a trend and not a blip then the outlook gets better

 

But we need to see consistency.

San Antonio isn't known for above average park effects is it?

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

JJ is pitching better of late it seems. Still too much hard contact, but some decent outings in a row now.

[markedman5]

Do we know for sure that Thames is hurt or are people just assuming like usual?

 

I know he grimaced a few times but guys have done that plenty of times and been ok

[MrTPlush]

Literally have never seen this many posts nearly two hours after a game ended in the middle of the regular season.

I didn't think it was as bad as Colorado Springs, but the offensive numbers that team is putting up seems to defy that logic. Those guys have raked all year. A lot of AAAA types who really shouldn't be doing it, too.

CC grade today > A+

CC grade last 2 mo. > F

CC grade first mo.& 1/2 > A+

[willie key]

I’m going to follow this Alex young guy the rest of the year. Giving up a grand slam to Tyler freaking Saladino could ruin a young promising career. Or at least a couple of months

[Bulldogboy]

Interesting. I will have to look up what other organizations have done with San Antonio. I would be fascinated to see if others have had similar boosts.

[FVBrewerFan]

I want.... no need a haboob globe.

It's more the ball than the ballpark, using the MLB ball in AAA this year has caused offensive numbers to skyrocket across the board.

[TexasCheesehead]

5-1 now since Stearns proclamation, time to get the Giants on the line and work out a package for Mad Bum and Will Smith.

[Brew crew 92]

Sorry lady and gentlemen but Gamel has an option. It’s one of the reasons Stearns traded for him. Don’t assume I don’t like Gamel just because I say the brewers should CONSIDER (consider) the optioning of Gamel IF (if) Grisham CONTINUES(continues) to rake to get the better bat into the lineup. So sometime between August 1 and 31.potentially.

[jason21nl]

I called the game over very early. I was wrong. I'm a moron. Big gutsy win!

[willie key]

3 out 4. Another massive win.

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

Yeah! Now THAT was a satisfying win!

 

I hope all you guys who gave up on this game either after the lineup was posted or after Woody gave up a few early runs realizes that this is why they play the games.

I'll wear this one with pride

I don't agree with this at all, but thanks for explaining your reasoning.

I hope you do too. Since you’ve been ******** about Saladino a lot

 

I would suggest you send him a nice home cooked apple pie or maybe stand outside his window with a boom box and serenade him and ask for forgiveness
