2020-09-23: Brewers (Houser) at Reds (Bauer) [Brewers lose, 6-1 -- Offense gets dominated by Bauer; Houser’s struggles against left handed hitters continues]

[willie key]

Can someone tell Yelich the pitches so we can get off to a good start today

[long ball]

Must win?

 

Darn close. In the event that the Reds and Brewers tie for that 8th spot I'm sure they'd like to hold a chance at that tie breaker instead of losing the h2h tie breaker to the Reds.

[owbc]

I'm guessing he's out or the Reds wouldn't have challenged.

I'm guessing he's out or the Reds wouldn't have challenged.

 

Pretty clearly on replay. He looked out at regular speed too.

[Eye Black]

It’s amazing how quickly the 1st inning went from looking good and like they were going to drive up Bauer’s pitch count to a fart noise.

[TURBO]

Also not sure why Peterson is getting the start over Taylor after Taylor hit a bomb yesterday.

 

It's the Brewer way...

[pacopete4]

I wonder when the $200 Million man will show up for this team when it needs it.

[Warning Track Power]

Great idea to steal there with Yelich still scuffling. I wasn’t expecting it and getting a lead for Houser is important. Unfortunate outcome.

[yourout]

How many runs will we spot them in the first inning? My gut says two.

[TURBO]

You just knew Sogard was going to start today, just knew it...

 

BOOOOOOOOOO!

[yourout]

I wonder when the $200 Million man will show up for this team when it needs it.

 

I will say he has had more than his share of borderline pitches called strikes against him this year.

Certainly does not get the Jordan treatment.

[TURBO]

Braun will likely pinch hit in a crucial situation late in the game, right?

[pacopete4]

How many runs will we spot them in the first inning? My gut says two.

 

I’m think more so a 4-run third inning for Houser. As I type he walks the lead off batter. Ish.

[Eye Black]

The walks have been one of Houser’s biggest issues this year (in addition to getting hammered by LHH).

[yourout]

I'm a bit worried Votto is about to break the streak in a big way

[Bulldogboy]

If houser can't get lefties out then he can't be a starter.

[owbc]

How many runs will we spot them in the first inning? My gut says two.

 

Winner! (at least so far...)

 

I figured we would lose this game so I'm not all that upset about it.

[Eye Black]

If houser can't get lefties out then he can't be a starter.

He’s facing lefties a lot more often this year than last. He’s going to have to have to figure out a neutralizing pitch in the offseason to have any hope to stay in the rotation.

[adambr2]

I don't know how we can keep trotting this guy out there every 5th day but the season is almost over anyway. Houser can't be anywhere near our rotation plans for 2021, though.

[yourout]

One way or another this has to be Hauser's last start of the year

[Eye Black]

I guess the championship bullpen session didn’t translate well to game action.

[Underachiever]

Moose has been wearing the Brewers out. And to think I liked him at one point.

My sentiment holds.

[adambr2]

I'm going to assume by Houser's comment that he had a fantastic bullpen session the other day that he is trying to cry out for help and tell Counsell he should be in the bullpen.

[yourout]

Looks like we got two different strike zones tonight

[mtrebs]

Houser just isn’t that good. Can’t count on him. Not surprising that Moose is likely going to knock us out of contention.
