2019-09-02: Astros (Cole) at Brewers (Houser) [Brewers lose, 3-2 in 10 innings]

[PinaMadness]

You bring in any reliever going on his third straight day of work and this result shouldn't be surprising. CC does know it's September, right?

[John Jahahaha]

who amongst us didn't see that one coming, sigh

[pacopete4]

40-man rosters but Junior Guerra is pitching 3-days in a row.

[yourout]

About to be 4 games out.

Not dead but going on life support soon.

[TigerUppercut]

If there's a guy that needs a "change of scenery" trade, it's Shaw. I know it would be the very epitome of selling low, but he's completely lost.

 

Agreed. He’s too good of talent to be doing what he is doing. He is mentally gone right now. It’s the only thing that makes any sense.

 

As a Brewer fan, if you actually gave something up, anything up in the offseason for a guy that was coming off a sub .170 year at the plate, think about what your reaction would be. Then, when you're feeling that level of angst about a move that Stearns would never make, understand that the Brewers aren't getting anything for Shaw.

I second your trade idea.

I don't expect them to. I wouldn't be shocked or upset if they traded him for a low level lottery ticket and he turned it around and became a solid player again. He's just completely lost up there. his at bats are sad. He's overmatched.

[willie key]

 

Guerra gets to wear it

[HarveysWBs]

I’m not even mad right now. Houston is a great team. The bottom line is that you shouldn’t have to count on winning every game down the stretch, especially against teams like this. If the Brewers could have just taken care of business against the cupcake teams, this would just be another (likely) loss, but a forgettable and survivable one. The season was sown in the summer when all anyone in the central was doing was treading water, and now we have the reaping.

Lottery ticket or two would be just fine.

Excellent, very well done. This team has barely had a pulse since mid May.

[Bulldogboy]

They could go to 60 man rosters and Junior would end up in a tie game.

Great point.

[pacopete4]

Perez - Grisham - Grandal

 

Someone get on base so we at least have a swing at it with Yelich.

[monkeyman343434]

pinch hitting Shaw for Arcia is such an insane move right now, just cut Arcia already, or fire CC

There was almost zero probability of Shaw getting a hit there so yeah it was brutal.

[PinaMadness]

Have no fear, here comes the Savior.

[willie key]

I’ve been waiting all year for this Freitas ab

 

Brewer legend

[willie key]

Whoever is up next better be taking

[Bulldogboy]

So far dude is an on base machine. I like him.

[PinaMadness]

I think you have to pinch run for him, right?

[HarveysWBs]

Small sample size alert: Freitas cannot be retired. You can only hope to contain him on the base paths.

[folly412]

Freitas just struck paralyzing fear into the pitcher.

Doesn't reaping qualify as off topic? Oh nevermind, I read it as "raping"

 

2 runs in 5 IP for the bullpen should qualify as a bright spot....

[PinaMadness]

Oh now CC uses his arsenal of pitchers, and it's to pinch run.
