2020-09-14, Game 2: Cardinals (Ponce de Leon) at Brewers (Burnes) [Brewers lose, 3-2 in 9 innings]

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

Why put a power pitcher in the game with you can toss another junkballer in there. Come on Counsell!

[stoutdude04]

Anyone warming up? If not, they should be.

 

Rasmussen.

[adambr2]

God you are just terrible Yelich. It isn't enough that you can't hit this year?

[Bulldogboy]

You really have to wonder what Counsell is thinking. He pitches both studs in game one so now he has to punt game two?? I dunno.

[Lostpawn]

Get Yardley out before it’s too late.

[SomewhereInTime]

So there's no possible way in a huge game that Williams or Hader could possibly pitch both heads of the double header? They really expect you to believe things that have been done for centuries are impossible today?

[yourout]

Mistake not yanking Yardley right now.

[mtrebs]

It’ll hurt to lose this game.

[yourout]

To late.

It’s a load of donkey pooh. One of those two should have been available for a situation just like this. Throwing chances away this season is what Counsell has been good at.

[brewers888]

I guess we just leave Yardley in till he loses it completely

[Bulldogboy]

Goose Gossage and Rollie Fingers rolling over in their graves watching Hader and Williams sit this one out. Lol

[adambr2]

Counsell is aware that this is the team we are directly competing with for a playoff spot, right? Somebody might want to clue him in.

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

Pull him out! He is not fooling anyone Craig.

These days starting pitchers who pitch an inning before a rain delay don’t come back out after. It’s about muscle recovery and injury prevention.

[brewers888]

Its a 60 game season. No reason why we couldn't let Williams and Hader pitch in both games.

[willie key]

Counsell has been just terrible this year

 

Been great the last two. But cripes this is such a short season and he’s playing it like a 162 game year.

[Jopal78]

Then bring in Rasmussen with zero margin for error. Counsel managed this game away.

[mtrebs]

Hehe, both are still alive, but I get it

[Eye Black]

Brewers just can’t get out of their own way this season. I wish they’d either just be truly awful or be better, because I can’t take much more of this level of performance.

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

So, turn to the rookie with 9 whole innings to his name. He's throwing Roman Candles in the bonfire now.

[BruisedCrew]

Rock was certain that both Hader and Williams were available for this because "they only pitched 1 inning in Game 1."

Really?!?! That’s ... not how it works.

 

It’s not unheard of for guys to pitch in both games of a DH, but they both also pitched on Friday and Saturday, so this makes it 3 games in 4 days. I assumed they wouldn’t be used in game 2.

[Warning Track Power]

Counsell has had as bad a season as the hitters. He’s in a slump in 2020 as well.

[brewers888]

We have no margin for error with this offense yet Counsell has done all he can to screw things up

[Lostpawn]

Then bring in Rasmussen with zero margin for error. Counsel managed this game away.

This is the correct answer.
