2020-09-04: Brewers (Burnes) at Indians (Carrasco) [Brewers win, 7-1 -- Burnes masterful; Haines ejected among flurry of expletives; Crew bats come alive]

[PinaMadness]

About time one of those went our way.

[yourout]

Wow. Not striking out is a good thing.

[homer]

Dan Vogelbach very much reminds me of Bob Hamelin.

 

First one that came to my mind was Matt Stairs....who is 52 years old if you want to feel really old yourself.

No kidding, it seems like the Brewers have fallen victim to those types of “hits” all season.

So is Hamelin! Man some of those late 90s/early 2000s teams were terrible! Stairs did manage to pretty much play forever, though.

When Vogelbach slapped a single against the shift, Smoak was surely at home going “why didn’t I think of that”?

Don't worry, he'll be down below .200 for good in no time.

[yourout]

Of all the guys on the staff Burnes might have the best shot at becoming a real bonafide top 5 ace.

Easily the best arsenal.

[MrTPlush]

Dumb play by Gamel, absolutely no excuse for that.

[SoCalBrewfan]

Sigh.

[TURBO]

Pretty good chance this is going to be the worst hitting team average wise in baseball history.

 

Pretty much solely due to Yelich and Hiura and not having Cain.

 

There are a lot of guys adding to this mess other than Yelich and Hiura. They have a part for certain, but the rest of them aren't doing their jobs either.

[yourout]

This plate ump has not exactly been a model of consistency.

What happened?

Was trying to rock a sick daughter to sleep and come back to see that high strike on Yelich.

It was one thing when shifting started and it was against very good power lefties, absolutely don't bunt or try to slap the ball the other way if you're Barry Bonds or David Ortiz, but if we're talking about guys who can't hit .200, you're gonna be out of the league soon if you can't adjust.

Man I am a huge jinx.

Right but they are so far below where they should be they are dragging everyone else down with the ship. Look at the lineup today. Everyone is sort of within a reasonable distance of where you'd expect them to be except those two.

[MrTPlush]

Dumb play by Gamel, absolutely no excuse for that.

 

What happened?

 

He was on 1st base and a slow grounder was hit to second base...he proceeded to run into the tag play and then the throw made it to first for the double play on Hiura.

[homer]

Sweep the leg, Corbin.

[brewers888]

Unbelievable

[homer]

You didn't sweep the leg, Corbin.

[yourout]

That should be a reprimand on the plate ump.

[MrTPlush]

The fact you can’t review between the umpire and home is like...the dumbest thing in baseball. It makes zero sense. That flat out should be reviewable.

[brewers888]

He might have beaten it anyway so nevermind.

[PinaMadness]

Jerry Meals. He sucked the last time he was behind the plate for one of our games too.
