2019-08-18: Brewers (Anderson) at Nationals (Fedde) [Brewers lose, 16-8 -- Rough start for Chase Anderson w/ 10 ER in just 2.1 IP]

[phnxcrew]

Moose looks like he's pricing himself out of Milwaukee again after a post-all star break. Not that the ones hit today matter...

[TURBO]

Moose and Arcia padding their stats.

[PinaMadness]

At least we own the tie breaker.

[brewmann04]

well the hitters got the grove on sat and sun but the pitching went south.

There is no way Moustakas will price himself out of Milwaukee.

I suppose if you're not investing in pitching, yeah you can afford him at 11-13 million. I get in trouble assuming we don't want to continually be blown out.

[Bulldogboy]

Brewers have given up 30 runs in two games and some people think there offense is the problem. I say otherwise.

[Bulldogboy]

The brewers fired their manager with a week left in the season because of a total collapse. Make a statement. Fire Hook immediately. What can you lose??

[PinaMadness]

All facets of the game have gone south at some point this season. The offense at one time when scoreless for 26 consecutive innings. There's alot of improvement needed all around.

From TH

 

As it turns out #Brewers CF Lorenzo Cain was unavailable due to oblique tweak. Counsell said he probably won't play Monday but hopes for Tuesday.

Their offense is a problem, although slightly better since Grisham’s up now. But offense not good especially vs LHP. The perfect storm came together this weekend with the pitching staff > A slumping staff vs a very hot hitting team with a juiced ball in extremely hot humid conditions in a smallish park.

The 2 worst hitters with RISP, isn’t that fitting?

[markedman5]

Aaron Wilkerson confirmed he pitched for #Brewers today on no sleep. Was told of call-up at 12:30 am after @missionsmilb 13-inning game. Packed, got crack of dawn flight, went to airport, came to D.C. and was in game in third inning. Didn't complain but admitted it was tough.

And they lost 2-1 Friday and 1-0 Sunday. Hitting and pitching are both problems for a team trying to stay in playoff contention.

Interesting and probably not a good idea. Good for him to tough it out but there's got to be a better way.

I mean honestly the fact is they aren't very good so both areas are a problem but looking at the big picture there is more hope and track record on the offensive side.

[Brewcrewin07]

I've said it before, but, unless Stearns's philosophy changes about not wanting to pay for pitching, these are the types of season that will become a norm. The philosophy MUST change if they ever want to take that next step. Load up on pitching...starting pitching.

[LouisEly]

I don't want Chase back next year. He is exactly what we need to be trying to improve on. This organization needs to be forward looking about the pitching problems and the Chacin and Anderson of the world aren't quite good enough.

Prior to this game, among 64 NL pitchers with at least 80 IP this year, Chase Anderson was 23rd in ERA. Ahead of Strasburg, Syndergaard, Ray, and Darvish.

 

After this game, his 4.54 ERA would rank 45th, or in other words a #3/#4 starter.

 

But that's what we do around here, we overreact irrationally.

 

The wonderful thing about this game is that it only counts as one loss.

[markedman5]

Interesting.......I bet they were thinking that Cain might have to go on the IL......that's the only thing that makes sense with the timing

I will be in my grave when the Brewers win a WS.

Anyone who thinks Chase Anderson is the answer is asking the wrong question.

The Brewers at best will have the money to sign one free agent starting pitcher. You need to have five of them.

What could have been done differently? It was just a freak thing where all the stars aligned poorly. Late extra inning MLB game, late extra inning AAA game, day MLB game the next day.

 

Wilkerson was never intended to be anything other than a sacrificial lamb today to come chew up a bunch of innings if needed and get a day's MLB pay and service time for his trouble.
