2020-09-18: Royals (Duffy) at Brewers (Houser) [Brewers win, 9-5 -- Nottingham’s go ahead grand slam turns things around]

[Eye Black]

Gamel is swinging the Summer Camp bat right now.

[folly412]

Gamel seems to hit nothing but doubles.

 

And again!

[adambr2]

The OPS’s in the lineup are beginning to look a lot more normal.

 

Braun's having a nice year. Gyorko too. Yelich and Hiura are still a long ways off from what their normal should be.

 

Curious on what Hiura's normal "should be." Lots of people annointing him as an All Star level player here, very little evidence to support it both in the field and at the dish.

 

There's actually an enormous amount of evidence to support it at the dish. He's hit at every level he's ever been at including a .938 OPS at this level last year. His bat was never in question. We all know he's not a guy who is going to strike out in a third of his ABs.

[markedman5]

Now Gamel not running well.......what the heck is going on here.

[wildcat83]

Gamel is gimpy and clearly grimacing on the base paths. I would guess that may have also played into the non send earlier.

[markedman5]

[Devinep]

That pitch by Topa. Whoa

[stalton]

That pitch by Topa. Whoa

 

That was just down right filth. I love it!

[markedman5]

I hope Garcia is feeling a bit better.......I know he’s dhing g today but he hasn’t been running well either.

 

We are running out of outfielders.

[markedman5]

Man that was close.....have a game Orlando.

[pacopete4]

Anyone that tells me Arcia is the same player he’s been makes me chuckle. Noticeable difference this year. The adjustments have been made and he’s grown as a player. He’s just never going to mash.

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

Will probably see Mathias back up tomorrow, and probably Billy McKinney as well, depending on how bad Gamel is (I assume Braun is going on the IL). They have Corey Ray and Keon Broxton in Appleton as well.

All that, in a playoff hunt? Woof.

Just pointing out that there are options. Never said they were good

[nate82]

This has to be some kind of record for the amount of infield hits the Brewers have given up so far this season.

[wildcat83]

I’d prefer to see Hader get an inning tonight. Last time he sat a week straight he was a little um .... rusty

[Eye Black]

Not a great start to the inning for Hader.

[bigredrobbo]

Tyrone Taylor and Brett Suter look like brothers - or is it just me?

[wildcat83]

Not a great start to the inning for Hader.

 

Glad to get it out this game, with plenty of room to work with.

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

Not a great start to the inning for Hader.

 

He's human ... gonna give up runners and runs every now and then. I'm much rather it happen against the Royals with a 5-run lead then nursing a 1-run lead next week against the Reds or Cards.

[Eye Black]

Brock Holt pitched for the Nationals tonight. 1.0 IP, 4 H, 2 ER.

[dlk9s]

Not a great start to the inning for Hader.

 

Pretty great rest of the inning.

[markedman5]

Looks like Yardley got banged up,on that last out which is why he didn’t go back out there.

 

CC said he will.probably be hobbling around tomorrow but more of a bruise type injury.

 

Braun had back spasms.........Gamel has a bad quad.....which has been bothering him for most of the season according to CC.

[CheezWizHed]

Brock Holt pitched for the Nationals tonight. 1.0 IP, 4 H, 2 ER.

 

He's no Billy Hall...
