2019-08-07: Brewers (Pomeranz) at Pirates (Williams) 6:05 PM CDT [Brewers win, 8-3 -- Offense stays hot; Bullpen Day proves a success as Crew completes sweep]

[LouisEly]

First world problem: Offense too good, had to have opener hit.

Another first world problem - they don't have the bench to pinch hit for every pitcher if it's a bullpen game.

[TURBO]

Keston is good at this game...with the bat anyway.

[markedman5]

Hey a 2 out clutch hit!

[TURBO]

POUR IT ON offense, we can't score enough with our pitching situation this evening. If we can score 15, do it!

[jjfanec]

Maybe Pomeranz can go deeper into the game than williams

[FVBrewerFan]

I heard a few days ago the players checked out already for the season. As I said then, a bunch of nonsense.

[TURBO]

Uh oh.

 

NEXT!

[LouisEly]

Gameday had the Stallings HR way out of the strike zone - high and above the outside corner. If so, that's a great job of hitting.

[TURBO]

If he walks him, get a fresh arm out there CC...

 

EDIT: Get him out! He exceeded expectations, take him out!

 

EDIT, EDIT: Or not...

It wasn't a strike for sure. It was a cutter

[markedman5]

Way to turn it kid!

Nice opening Pom

[TURBO]

Ok, I'm not sure that Guerra is a better option than leaving Pom out there for another one. *nervous laugh*

 

I have lost all faith in Junior.

[jjfanec]

Tip of the hat to Pomeranz. 3 innings of 1 run ball is solid.

Agreed. I would rather let the rookie go next than Guerra. We know what Guerra can do and it isn't pretty

[LouisEly]

Nice opening Pom

Except for walking the pitcher with a 4-run lead. Cannot do that.

[TURBO]

Stupid kid.

 

Some day, he may wish he had kept a Keston Hiura rookie HR ball.

[markedman5]

Grisham has a sweet swing

[ReverendBrewmeister]

Rain in Pittsburgh? Shocking.

[TURBO]

Grisham belongs... Glad to see him having success. Looks like we have added two nice bats from our own farm to the line-up for next year. Now, what to do with Braun? Hope he spends a lot of time at 1B in the near future.

I'm mildly pleased that Braun has put up an .800 OPS and hit for power still this year. If he can do that next year and play in 100 to 120 games, I'll be happy with that. That's not what he's getting paid to do, but if he continues to hit .270 with power and not be a complete butcher in the field and play 4-5 days a week, then he has use, and I'm happy to have him.

[Brewcrewin07]

Why is Counsell so in love with Junior anyway?? That's what I would like to know.

I mean I dislike Guerra as much as anyone but who do we really have for a game like this

[BruisedCrew]

Hiura's slump is over.

 

Unfortunately, not his fielding slump.

[markedman5]

Hiura' decision making just horrible......never going to get 2 there.
