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]

[adambr2]

Errors happen, but Hiura makes some of the worst throws I’ve ever seen from a professional ball player.

 

It's tough to see how he sticks in the field. It reminds me a lot of Braun at 3rd. I think the DH is here to stay, but I don't think that's how they envisioned Hiura's career.

 

But if he can't stick at 2nd he's not a fit anywhere.

[markedman5]

Is it possible Huira future 1B ?

 

Too short............don’t see that in his future.

[markedman5]

Ball game

[Lostpawn]

Claudio. Awesome.

[Warning Track Power]

Why with Claudio? Counsell has been as bad as his hitters this season.

[Bulldogboy]

Please somebody wake Counsell. Why in the hell would Suarez ever see Claudio. Come on man. This is Strat o Matic stuff.

I was out and just caught up to the game on the DVR. Two comments:

 

1. On last night’s thread when they said that Votto was 0 for his last 30 against the Brewers, I posrted that there was a 95% probability that he would homer in his next AB. I was off by one.

 

2. The next time I hear that Hiura has improved his defense I’m going to puke.

[mtrebs]

That’s likely the season, isn’t it?

[mtsportsfan]

Can we sign or trade for Suarez, sick of playing against him. Kinda like we did when we got Ben Oglivie. Killed us when he was a tiger!

[Lostpawn]

That’s likely the season, isn’t it?

Way too early for that. 3 of 5 from the Cards could still get them in.

[owbc]

Hiura's so young...I would keep playing him every day all of next year and the year after. He has so much upside compared with the replacement-level options.

[Eye Black]

Too short............don’t see that in his future.

He’s taller than Prince Fielder.

[adambr2]

You look at Claudio's career splits and he may as well wear a sign around his neck that says "I'm a LOOGY" and yet we continue to plug our ears and cover our eyes to this fact.

[mtrebs]

Likely won’t be above .500 this season. Crazy.

He has stunk against everyone else this year but then looks like a perennial all-star against us.

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

I know that Hiura is young and has potential. But right now, he sucks.

[BruisedCrew]

Now the Brewers need at least 3 wins against the Cardinals and help to have a chance.

 

Tonight’s game could not have been more predictable given the pitching matchup.

[adambr2]

How many times have we failed to get over the 500 hump when given a chance this season? A dozen?

[willie key]

Counsell sucks this year. God he’s terrible

[trwi7]

Why with Claudio? Counsell has been as bad as his hitters this season.

 

I think the plan was get Votto out. Sort of pitch around Suarez and/or see if he gets himself out and then get Moustakas. Plan obviously changed with no ability to have a backup plan when Votto reached. That's why I don't really want Claudio on the team. He's way too specialized where everything has to go perfectly for him to be usable.

[adambr2]

I know that Hiura is young and has potential. But right now, he sucks.

 

He didn't help that inning. But he also didn't come in and walk a lefty lefty matchup on 4 pitches and then give up a bomb to Suarez.

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

Counsell sucks this year. God he’s terrible

 

His managing had been cookie cutter vanilla awful, but it isn't really his fault that Hiura and Yelich have been dumpster fires.

[mtsportsfan]

Claudio , just another player that has been hard to watch. Why would you let him pitch to Suarez.

Actually didn't he have to pit h to him , that was only his second or third batter.

[mtrebs]

How many times have we failed to get over the 500 hump when given a chance this season? A dozen?

 

I believe today is eight. Eight freakin’ times.

[Lostpawn]

Cool, let’s capitalize on that E5.
