2020-08-05: Brewers (Houser) at White Sox (Keuchel) [Brewers win, 1-0 -- Houser outstanding over 7.0 IP]

[PinaMadness]

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.

I believe this is what someone meant when he said Yelich needs a day off. A game off, not a scheduled team day off. There is a difference.

[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.

Great is a bit of a stretch, but I get your point. I didn't want to insult this team quite yet using a Davey Lopes era lineup. It's possible they can still turn it around, but honestly I don't see it getting much better.

[MrTPlush]

That guaranteed rate sign behind home plate really sums up this lineup...

[yourout]

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).

 

Woof... That was a pretty sad AB.

[markedman5]

So much swing and miss going on with this team without the power to justify it......

[Cool Hand Lucroy]

Did anyone swing at a strike? My goodness....I know Kuechel is good, but wow...

[MrTPlush]

That is 100% an error.

[trwi7]

What's Logan Schafer up to?

 

I don't know but if we're accepting guesses I'm calling dibs on surf instructor in Marina del Rey.

[markedman5]

Another dribbler for a hit that should've been an out....

[PinaMadness]

I've seen just about enough of the White Sox.

[yourout]

That's a play a big league shortstop should be able to make.

What's Logan Schafer up to?

 

I don't know but if we're accepting guesses I'm calling dibs on surf instructor in Marina del Rey.

I'm guessing night manager at the Kwik Trip on Sheboygan's north side.

[PinaMadness]

Sometimes you just can't get it out of your glove. It happens.

[SomewhereInTime]

Another dazzling play by our defensive ace at SS. At least it wasn't Sogard.

[B-Train]

Bright side: If Houser loses his lunch tonight it will be in the dugout, sickened by his teammates offensive display of hitting.

[MrTPlush]

Big league throw from Pina.

[PinaMadness]

You don't run on the Pineapple!!!

[dlk9s]

Perfect throws by the catcher to second base are so pretty.

[Cool Hand Lucroy]

Pina is so fun to watch behind the dish. You just expect him to throw guys out...

[yourout]

He bets on how many innings before the Brewers get a ball out of the infield against keuchel?

[yourout]

This could be a no hitter.

[PinaMadness]

Can we just call no hitter now?

[B-Train]

Can we get Hernan, Jesus, and Domingo back? Maybe even Shaw.

[dlk9s]

Can we get Hernan, Jesus, and Domingo back? Maybe even Shaw.

 

I know a lot of people here are sick of the nostalgia for the 1982 Brewers, but I might take them right now at their current ages over this lineup.

Hahahaha. This is hilarious. Would you take Ueck too?
