2019-08-11: Rangers (Minor) at Brewers (Lyles) [Brewers lose, 1-0]

[folly412]

Amazing outing for Lyles. Yet he's in line for the loss.

[willie key]

Well. You can’t complain about that outing from lyles.

[Bulldogboy]

Lyles did his job today. Good work.

[markedman5]

Outstanding work by Lyles..........great pickup by Stearns......couldn't have asked for anything more in his 3 starts

[Bulldogboy]

We shall see if Brewers are smart enough to try to drive the pitch count over 100 this inning. 83 to start.

[homer]

Wonder if they considered walking Kiner Falefa?

[BruisedCrew]

Oh, hey, Grandal dropped a ball. Must be a day ending in y.

 

I have a hard time being too hard on a player playing out of position failing to make a quick reaction play on a hard hit ball.

 

I’m far from convinced that Thames would make that play. It’s not like it was hit right at him.

[willie key]

Might want to think about stealing a base here. We may have to get a run the deadball era age

It seems like it is becoming a major trend. The dude drops a lot of balls—catching and manning first base.

91 to end, despite two hits. They are in fact not smart enough.

For all the talk of Grandal sucking offensively lately, Moustakas is hitting .239/.310/.406 in his last 200 plate appearances.

[Brewcrewin07]

What is this teams infatuation with first pitch swinging?? Wonder if they keep stats on that and high high up the Brewers are in that category.

[willie key]

That might have made more sense. Brings dp into play with a .162 hitting catcher coming up

[Bulldogboy]

I was thinking we would see Arcia there. Switch Perez to right field. One pitch. Less than ideal ab.

[BruisedCrew]

It always bugs me when someone says (as Schroeder just did) when a team breaks a late 0-0 tie that “no big deal, you need a run to win anyway”. But it can be a big deal. Now you need at least two runs to win in a day when baserunners, much less runs, have been hard to come by.

Was going to ask if anyone wanted to dig up those numbers. Everyone wants to resign Moose, but hes kind of reverted back to average. Or at least that's what I thought anyway.

[Bulldogboy]

For all the talk of Grandal sucking offensively lately, Moustakas is hitting .239/.310/.406 in his last 200 plate appearances.

Yep. It's hurting us big time.

[Bulldogboy]

Yelich needs to start stretching. You can't lose 1-0 and him not swing at least once.

[homer]

Lyles ERA when Brewers acquired him: 5.36

Lyles ERA after today's start (his third with Brewers): 4.71

[willie key]

Since we are the home run or nothing offense. We’ve had the nothing. Let’s get the home run

Hook is a genius!

[Brewcrewin07]

Yelich on deck

[Eye Black]

Perez, please put Yelich in a spot to hit a go ahead HR.

[willie key]

Got to get this guy to third now

Well Lyles is pitching even better with the Brewers this year than last.
