Dallas Keuchel: Batter (Brewers) vs Pitching Stats

[Eye Black]

If anyone is looking for a bit of hope going into tonight, the Brewers’ current active roster has a .319 AVG / .333 OBP / .511 SLG / .844 OPS line against Dallas Keuchel in 107 at bats. Avisail Garcia has had the most at bats against him (8-for-23).

Garcia has been a pleasant surprise this year. But we need Yeli to get going (and nearly everyone else)...

[Devinep]

Maybe don’t put the guy with a career OBP below 300 in the lead off spot against a lefty again. And maybe Hader doesn’t need to be used literally only when it’s a save situation, which is seemingly going to be pretty rare

If by surprise you mean the only guy hitting like how you would expect...yes, surprise he is.

Right ... Garcia has been consistent throughout the majority of his career so far. He's not going to ever going to be an MVP-type, but it wouldn't surprise me to see him make an All-Star team or two before he's done. He's a solid player, very much in that Geoff Jenkins/Jeromy Burnitz mold.

I've had enough of LoMo and Smoak, put Ryon Healy in there and see what he can do.

Brewers lineup for tonight is out...

 

[markedman5]

That has to be the worst lineup we’ve run out there in years........basically Hiura, Garcia and a bunch of Journeymen.......

He has been walking more than usual but hasn't shown much power but will probably ultimately end up right around the 830 OPS he has right now.

Dear god that is pathetic. But good call putting a guy who can’t get on base at leadoff. Cue the “brewers will score 10 because, baseball” comment.

[SomewhereInTime]

That is the worst lineup imaginable.

 

I look forward to the 10 run outburst tonight.

[yourout]

I don't see any way that lineup scores more than two runs against keuchel.

I would say the odds of a shutout are actually pretty high.

[Eye Black]

One irony of Ryon Healy batting lead-off is he’s one of the few hitters on the current roster that has struggled against Dallas Keuchel for his career (4-22, no extra base hits, 8 strikeouts).

[Devinep]

That is the worst lineup imaginable.

Called it!!

I did NOT mean put Ryon Healy in at leadoff, but ok, whatever.

Is Yelich injured?

[markedman5]

Counsell said he made the decision to give Yelich the day after last night's 0-for-3, 3K game. Said it was "obvious" decision. They had a productive conversation today.

[MrTPlush]

Is Yelich injured?

 

Maybe they decided to play someone who at least hasn’t proved they can’t hit yet.

[SomewhereInTime]

That is the worst lineup imaginable.

Called it!!

 

I'm calling my shot! Nothing short of 10 runs tonight

Reverse jinx! I like it!

[folly412]

Oof. Hard to have any excitement for this lineup. What's Logan Schafer up to?

[SeaBass]

That is the worst lineup imaginable.

 

I look forward to the 10 run outburst tonight.

You say worst lineup, I think "send them against the Bucks and watch them win" like the G League Nets team did yesterday.

[PinaMadness]

Amazing how pathetic a lineup can look like when you remove just one regular.

 

Ladies and gentlemen, your 1999 Milwaukee Brewers.

Vina, Cirillo, Jenkins, Burnitz, Nilsson, Loretta, the '99 team had a great offense, it was their pitching that was awful. This lineup is 2002 territory.
