2020-08-03: White Sox (Rodón) at Brewers (Anderson) [Brewers lose, 6-4 -- Home Opener]

[owbc]

That might have been the dumbest pitch of the year so far.

[adambr2]

Craig's been marvelous pulling the bullpen strings in the past. Not so much through the first 7 games this year.

[wildcat83]

Dang, was a great outing from Corbin until that.

[PinaMadness]

That might have been the dumbest pitch of the year so far.

For the Brewers or all of baseball? Because I'd say yes to both.

[owbc]

It's a line drive in the box score, Christian.

[pacopete4]

Need Keston to find consistency at the plate.

[pacopete4]

.242 RISP (8 for 33) for the season. Not great but not awful.

[Vgmastr]

Why are these games so late when there's no fans? They start at 7 to allow people to get to the ballpark after work, but with no fans start the games at 6. We're in the top of the 8th and it's already past 10.

[Eye Black]

It seemed like Arcia was a step slow on that Mazara blooper. Looked like a ball a shortstop should get to. It did have a weird cutting action to it, I guess.

[BruisedCrew]

There’s a disgusting way to give up the probable winning run.

[stoutdude04]

The weak contact hits are frustrating. The brewers have missed a few hangers tonight. Also frustrating.

TV prime time.

[wildcat83]

Coming off 4 days off seems like an odd time to ride guys deep into outings. Seems like Burnes and Phelps were running out of gas. Fully rested pen and expanded rosters Craig!!!

[Cool Hand Lucroy]

In my head, I imagined the Brewers winning in a walk-off tonight.

 

So, there's that...

[BruisedCrew]

The Brewers are running low on journeyman, barely replacement level players to send up there to strike out.

 

This is not a fun or entertaining team to watch.

[Eye Black]

In Brewers alumni news, Grisham has a pair of hits including his 4th home run of the year tonight against the Dodgers. He now has a 1.058 OPS for the season.

[BruisedCrew]

That should remove all doubt.

[dlk9s]

Good thing this isn't a real season.

The names on the offensive side of the ball are pretty depressing. A bunch of dudes you wouldn’t want on your competing team in their prime let alone now. Smoke? Morrison? Gyorko? Sogard? Healy? Arcia still (t Ho ugh he has been decent so far)? You’d think we were just trying to fill holes on a rebuilding team so we had enough guys to play.

 

Quantity over quality for sure. Some of it is the shame of what was available in the winter, but dang...tough group of guys we are depending on with inexperienced pitchers.

[pacopete4]

Knebel just not the same so far.

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

Meanwhile Urias is playing PS4 in Appleton, I guess? Lauer has looked good. Time to take the training wheels off.

And if Hader didn’t pitch like garbage in the Wild Card game Grisham might still be on the Brewers.

I agree, but with a barren farm system I think we are going to have to get used to guys like these filling out at least a third of the lineup of the foreseeable future, unfortunately.

[SomewhereInTime]

.242 RISP (8 for 33) for the season. Not great but not awful.

 

That's actually really good considering how bad their overall team batting average is.

[pacopete4]

I know batting average isn’t the stat that’s super popular anymore but it sure would be nice to have some guys in the lineup that carried higher lines. This would go a long way to having more consistency but I know that’s not exactly the trend with how we go about finding players.
