2020-08-22: Brewers (Lindblom) at Pirates (Holland) [Brewers lose, 12-5]

[Cool Hand Lucroy]

At sone point, this team is what it is, and what it looks like is a mediocre team. Of course:

 

1) Mediocre might be good enough this year.

 

2) I said that last year in mid-August too.

[wildcat83]

Gold Glove LF, as long as he can see it.

[PinaMadness]

Whatever the Pirates want for Adam Frazier, I'd pay it. Just to get him off the Pirates.

If he came to Milwaukee, he'd turn into Jeff Suppan.

[Underachiever]

I’ll see you all tomorrow. There’s gotta be some yard work I could be doing.

[markedman5]

Lindbloom has given up early runs, but seems to settle in and keep you in a game. He’s paid like a #5 starter essentially, and about what he is. I think he would be a .500 pitcher with about a 4.50 ERA over a full season.

 

He’s averaging 4 innings a start with about a 7 era and a whip over 1.5.’

[BruisedCrew]

All of these infield hits are killers.

[Cool Hand Lucroy]

Gold Glove LF, as long as he can see it.

 

I don't know how Yelich won a GG or played center. He seems fine out there. But then you watch a truly elite defender in Cain and realize he didn't win one for a decade and understand why that particular award is generally silly.

[wildcat83]

Didn’t plan on being drunk today, it’s just sort of happening.

[PinaMadness]

At this point I'm just sticking around to see what happens next.

[Cool Hand Lucroy]

Somehow I still think we'll win today. And yet we spent 5 innings not hitting Derek Holland. Again.

[pacopete4]

Gyroko hits a bomb but can’t stay in the game in the 5th. Counsell is wearing on me fast this year. Just dumb crap all the time.

[folly412]

Gyorko homers, gets pinch hit for. Counsell must have unearthed a copy of Roenicke's Baseball Manual.

[trwi7]

Mikolas and Lindblom bring similar-type stuff to the mound.

 

Velocity isn't everything but Mikolas has averaged 94 and Lindblom is at like 90.5. Mikolas also doesn't walk anybody. Their stuff isn't similar at all.

[markedman5]

Stearns has got a lot of work to do,in the off season

[Cool Hand Lucroy]

At least we've generally hit it hard today. So have the Pirates, but there's me trying to be positive.

[pacopete4]

Hiura sucks.

[markedman5]

It’s gone from bad to embarrassing

[Cool Hand Lucroy]

"It's just that kind of day," says LePay. That's one explanation I guess.

 

And I no longer think we will win. Ha.

[BruisedCrew]

At this point I'm just sticking around to see what happens next.

 

How about Hiura making an error on a 40 foot throw?

[BruisedCrew]

Any chance of a rainout tomorrow? That’s the best we can hope for.

[pacopete4]

Between not running out a pop out, striking out 50% of the time, and that throw, he shouldn’t see the field for a week. I don’t care if he’s a promising bat. He isn’t a professional.

[PinaMadness]

I hate this team so much. I've never said that about another Brewers team before, but I hate this team.

[folly412]

Maybe Rasmussen will get to pitch.

 

Maybe Sogard will get to pitch.

[BruisedCrew]

By the time this series is over the Brewers might have the worst run differential in the league.

[PinaMadness]

Bunch of beer league softball players brought in this winter.
