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

[Bulldogboy]

This Peterson cat has shown me nothing. Mathias seems like a better player.

[adambr2]

Hard to believe that Jace Peterson is one of our 28th best options.

[mtrebs]

One more of those wild pitches please!

[brewers888]

Wild pitch here can win it

[Lostpawn]

That was weird!

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

Would be nice to see the bottom of the order come through for once

The bottom of the order has outperformed the top of the order for much of the season thus far.

 

I guess the entire order besides Gyorko has been pretty bad

 

You guess? LOL

 

That idea has been your mantra for weeks.

[WinkelsasVsSoriano]

Peterson is just not a major league hitter

 

Agreed. He should have smashed that 1-1 hanger. Didn't even take the bat off the shoulder.

[mtrebs]

Yay, extras... again.

[Eye Black]

Not sure if Rasmussen is a multi-inning reliever but I guess we’re about to find out.

[adambr2]

Well, that's disappointing. But not unexpected.

[brewers888]

Every game we have to hope that the pitching carries us. When was the last time we had such an inept lineup.

[Bulldogboy]

Did anyone really expect a huge hit to win it from this group. Ugh.

[yourout]

Peterson is just not a major league hitter

I'm not sure he's even a minor league hitter.

[BruisedCrew]

I hope they can keep Gamel in the game so he can be the runner in the 8th instead of Narvaez.

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

Not sure if Rasmussen is a multi-inning reliever but I guess we’re about to find out.

 

He was an All-American starting pitcher in college. Of course, that was two Tommy John surgeries ago.

[yourout]

I was hoping for a wild pitch to walk it off.

I knew I hit off of Reyes was too much to ask for.

[Eye Black]

Yay, extras... again.

In all seriousness, the possibility of stopping the Cardinals and somehow scoring the free runner from 2nd probably significantly increases the Brewers odds of winning this game over a normal season’s regular extra innings.

[Lostpawn]

I keep forgetting about this new extra innings rule with the runner on 2nd. What do you guys think? Like it or not? I’m not sure.

I hate it

I’m aware of his prior accomplishments, but like you mentioned just wasn’t sure if they viewed him as a multi-inning guy since the injuries.

Oh, yeah. The second runner to start the inning probably helps the Brewers more than any other team in baseball as they are extremely unlikely to get multiple hits in an inning (or game for that matter).

[edfunderburk]

Speaking of Peterson ... I'm not sure he's even a minor league hitter.

 

McKinkey will be here soon to replace him

 

I hope they bring Mathias back too

 

He was a rare “good at bat” for us this season

[Bulldogboy]

I keep forgetting about this new extra innings rule with the runner on 2nd. What do you guys think? Like it or not? I’m not sure.

I like it. Most games are done in one inning. Some strategy if you want to use it. I think it works.

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

Not sure if Rasmussen is a multi-inning reliever but I guess we’re about to find out.

Last year in the minors they regularly started him for 3 inning appearances, so yeah, I think this is probably in his wheelhouse. Unfortunately he's probably on the shelf till Friday now, though.

[Eye Black]

Rasmussen has been nothing short of amazing tonight.
