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]

[danzig6767]

So is Urias just completely relegated to the bench now?

He's been flat out awful this month. Sogard had as many extra base hits yesterday as Urias has all month in 45 at bats.

Looks like cy young pitching tonight!

Looks like cy young pitching tonight!

 

We have made quite a few pitchers look like that but this one is.

[brewers888]

At least Yelich made solid contact this time.

[brewers888]

No chance at getting to the bullpen at this rate.

[mtsportsfan]

Sometimes I wonder if Darvish was right

[brewers888]

Sometimes I wonder if Darvish was right

 

I don't believe he was but if wrong we are screwed.

[mtsportsfan]

Way to make him pitch Gyorko

[mtrebs]

Good thing we got a hit already. Might not get another.

I don't believe he was but if wrong we are screwed.

 

What did he say?

[markedman5]

Just get so few pitches to hit against Bauer.........his command is just outstanding.

[Bulldogboy]

I will say again. If Houser can't get lefties out he can't be a starter.

[Lostpawn]

Wowsers. Cat reflexes.

What did he say?

 

He sort of suggested that The Brewers and Yelich were cheating I think. Specifically at home.

 

Of course Yelich had great numbers on the road too so he’s likely full of it.

Maybe Urias will be good next year and we can get something out of Lauer but that trade coud not possibly look any worse as of today.

Well it could actually look worse. Grisham has cooled off considerably and Davies came a bit back down to earth last night (albeit not a terrible outing).

 

Grisham still has been a 2 WAR player in about a third of a season this year. Value wise, he's had a pretty outstanding year.

 

Right now it really looks like the Padres were the ones who knew what they were doing after so many of us felt we ripped them off.

Cubs blog Bleacher Nation was in the middle of it, here’s their story: Yelich-Darvish Issue

Yep.....the lab awaits him in the off season.......if they can’t figure it out he has no place in a rotation

[ThisIsMyCrew]

Why does Grisham get brought up every game?

[mtsportsfan]

Just for the record , I don't believe that at all. Hopefully Yelich will snap out of it soon.

[Lostpawn]

Just for the record , I don't believe that at all. Hopefully Yelich will snap out of it soon.

Well if he doesn’t snap out of it in the next 5 games, he’ll likely have the winter to work it out.

[adambr2]

Why does Grisham get brought up every game?

 

Just checked, his name had been brought up exactly one other time in a game thread in the last 10 days.

 

So to answer your question, he doesn't.

[dlk9s]

Just for the record , I don't believe that at all. Hopefully Yelich will snap out of it soon.

 

Yeah, it's total BS. As mentioned, it's not like Yelich could only hit in Milwaukee. And even with his struggles this year, he's been really good against lefties, so if Darvish is correct, that means that somehow Yelich has pitch info only on left-handed pitchers.

[Lostpawn]

Nice at bat by the big guy. Good patience.

[adambr2]

I will say again. If Houser can't get lefties out he can't be a starter.

 

Yep.....the lab awaits him in the off season.......if they can’t figure it out he has no place in a rotation

 

To be honest though, lab or no lab, Houser doesn't have the arm that Burnes does.

Crap
