2019-07-22: Reds (Gray) at Brewers (Anderson) [Brewers lose, 6-5 -- Saladino’s 8th inning grand slam gives Crew the lead; Jeffress serves up 2-run HR in 9th to Suarez]

[Brewcrewin07]

I'm so pissed...that is absolutely one of the worst managerial decisions you could possibly make Craig..I mean EVER. Any smart manager walks Suarez there...what's the harm?? There is none. CC will say "well, he was 0-10 against jeremy and we liked him against the righty there instead of the lefty on deck". Weak ass excuse craig...you just CANNOT make that mistake as a Manager..that is a total no brainer...that's not the first time he has done that this year either.

[Bulldogboy]

The Hader situation had me calling for bullpen help around week 2 of the season. It is criminal that nothing has been done but Counsell can't let that guy beat you. come on.

[rickh150]

VanMeter ..... just too scared of this guy. What else could be the reason?

[Bulldogboy]

Could be most deflating loss of the year easily.

[Eye Black]

So in each of the last two games Jeffress actually threw more pitches than Hader. Why is Hader the one of those two who is unavailable tonight?

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

Could be most deflating loss of the year easily.

 

I dunno ... they've had a lot of pretty deflating losses. This turned into a house money game after those improbable Saladino heroics.

[kybrewerfan]

Is there another closer in baseball or baseball history who could not pitch back to back games?

[Brewcrewin07]

You could not have put a pitch in the worse spot

 

He should have never been put in that spot. It was his idiot Manager's fault. The heat of a pennant race and Counsell makes that terrible of a decision?? Really?? Honestly, if I'm Stearns and Mark A, I call him in my office tomorrow and ask him what the hell he was thinking. Just absolutely f'n terrible.

[buckybrewer232]

Wow, that was an awful pitch.

 

Rock basically called it twice now tonight. First time with 2 outs and Iglesias up to bat and a scrub on deck, and Rock commented to be careful with a hot RISP hitter. Then again right before the Suarez HR there. No doubt, some questionable decisions by CC.

Yeah, even among comeback games the Wednesday getaway day loss in San Diego was also pretty awful.

[wildcat83]

VanMeter ..... just too scared of this guy. What else could be the reason?

 

That’s just it, with Puig in the game I get it. Not with a .236 hitter behind him. Just absolutely no reason to pitch to Suarez, NONE.

[Bulldogboy]

So in each of the last two games Jeffress actually threw more pitches than Hader. Why is Hader the one of those two who is unavailable tonight?

Exactly. This has been a problem all year. There doesn't seem to be any real rhyme or reason to when he is and isn't available. The fact that Counsell has no options is on Stearns but Counsell has to manage the game better than that.

[pacopete4]

We can get mad at CC but I’ll turn my attention to JJ and Grandal. Make your damn pitches. Grandal has to be accountable too. Both ought to know better than what just happened.

[trwi7]

Question: Is HandClap a top 5 worst song ever?

 

A. Yes

B. Yes

C. Yes

D. It's the worst

[Brewcrewin07]

CC will say he was 0-10 against him prior to that AB and he "felt good" about JJ there. You're an idiot Craig..an absolute freaking idiot.

[owbc]

JJ is basically Felix Hernandez at this point...throwing mostly junkballs and hoping for weak contact.

[stoutdude04]

CC will say he was 0-10 against him prior to that AB and he "felt good" about JJ there. You're an idiot Craig..an absolute freaking idiot.

 

Thing is...if you're gonna get beat, get beat with your best pitch.

[yourout]

The other part of having Woodruff out is he is one of our better pinch hitters.

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

CC will say he was 0-10 against him prior to that AB and he "felt good" about JJ there. You're an idiot Craig..an absolute freaking idiot.

 

LOL, you literally said this already. I believe you've made your point.

[stoutdude04]

Middle middle fastball and Pina doesnt even offer at it. Probably not gonna see something better now.

[Bulldogboy]

Another 2 man bench night too. This team has been playing with 22 guys all year it seems like.

[BruisedCrew]

Oh man ... that sucks.

 

Bummer that they have a closer that can't go on back-to-backs.

 

Hader did pitch Saturday and Sunday.

[wildcat83]

We can get mad at CC but I’ll turn my attention to JJ and Grandal. Make your damn pitches. Grandal has to be accountable too. Both ought to know better than what just happened.

 

I don’t know, Jeffress wasn’t locating well. So you walk Suarez and if you miss like that to VanMeter you prolly still get away with it. If you don’t like Jeffress throwing to a lefty get Claudio. Either way better than pitching to Suarez and letting him beat you.

[Brew crew 92]

Pina needs to go away too. Can’t hit.

[adambr2]

Womp womp.
