2020-09-02: Tigers (Turnbull) at Brewers (Houser) [Brewers win, 8-5 -- Crew overcomes early 4-0 deficit]

[brewers888]

This team is more painful to watch than 2002. At least that team was supposed to be bad, this team is just as god-awful to watch but they keep drawing me in because they should be better than this. It's a true miracle that Counsell has somehow found a way to get them to 16 wins.

 

Should this team really be better or is this a bad roster.

[PinaMadness]

Remember when people thought the string of games against the Pirates, Reds, and Tigers would be the Brewers’ chance to make a move above .500.

This team will never see .500

[markedman5]

Nothing gives a struggling offense hope like getting down early in what seems like every game

If we were a good team we would have. I think it's just proving this team isnt good sadly.

[brewers888]

Yelich just flailing away most at bats is hard to watch.

I think the opposite, I think that Counsell doesn't have these guys ready to play day in and day out based on the constant mental mistakes... Bad enough that they are not performing physically, but the stupid mental mistakes take a toll, and some of that has to fall on the manager.

 

CC is over rated imo.

Bad roster make-up.

[mtrebs]

Should have sent the runner there. You can’t count on this team getting multiple hits in an inning (or game for that matter)

I liked the job that CC did for the most part before this season but his reliance on Sogard and turning Hader into a one inning closer are just two of the moves that have been questionable at best. I'm not a fan of Hook and as far as I'm concerned the very first move of the offseason has to be the firing of Haines.

[brewers888]

Remember Haines was hired after being fired as an assistant hitting coach with the Cubs after their lineup underachieved. He has no business being a major league hitting coach.

RIP Tom Seaver

If it's a bad roster and bad managing, how did they win 16 games?

[brewers888]

Should be a fun weekend against the Cleveland pitching staff.

[markedman5]

The lefties continue to kill our right handed starters ....especially Houser and Lindblom.

[pacopete4]

What if I told you that Houser wasn’t a starting pitcher? Man do I hate that we have forced this.

Eric Sogard has been “worth” -1.2 fWAR over just 211 plate appearances in his stints with the Brewers during the 2018 and 2020 seasons.

 

Over those two seasons with the Brewers he is now just 28-for-183 (.153 BA) with just 5 doubles, 0 triples, and 1 home run.

I could do that for less than 5 million.

I appreciate you confirming that he stinks.

I had to look it up because I was wondering if it wasn’t as bad as I was remembering... It was even worse.

[brewers888]

May as well bring Hernan back. He can't be any worse than what we have right now.

[Eye Black]

RE: Sogard... You should be able to throw a dart at a randomly generated list of Double-A and Triple-A hitters and the odds of landing on one that you could plug into your lineup that would out produce that line over 200 plate appearances is pretty high.

[brewers888]

Hiura has such elite bat speed.

[mtsportsfan]

That's more like it. Make me eat crow ! I was thinking strike out for sure.

[brewers888]

It will be an organizational failure if Hiura doesn't end up being a very good player. That bat speed doesn't come around too often.

Who drafted him?
