2021-05-21: Brewers (Houser) at Reds (Hoffman) [Brewers lose, 9-4 -- Winker hits 3 HRs, Crew’s slide continues]

[Warning Track Power]

I would fire Stearns and Haines way before I’d fire Counsell.

So Counsell isn’t responsible for the hitters not hitting to their career norms? If you blame Haines, then why hasn’t Counsell fired him?

 

You’re correct if Counsell refuses to fire Haines, then it’s on Stearns for Counsell not firing Haines. Regardless, this team is absolute trash offensively and someone needs to take the fall. I’m tired of watching the team score 1 run and expect to win.

[TURBO]

Bradley Jr. hitting a robust .158.

 

geez.

[folly412]

Hiura now 13 for 29 in AAA.

[mtsportsfan]

Yeah , Houser. Tried painting the corner all night and couldn't do It , then had to throw strikes and they didn't miss.

[TURBO]

Hauser?

My buddy keeps saying Yelich is bad because after 2019 and the cheating scandal broke the Brewers had to change their ways. Never really gave it much credence but....it is kind of interesting, no?

[TURBO]

How soon before Woodruff, Burnes and/or Peralta want to be traded?

 

Can you imagine taking the mound every 5 days for this nightmare of an offense?

The Yu Darvish quote was pretty interesting imo.

This is such a ridiculous take. 3 weeks ago when we were 7 games over with all of our injuries you could have easily argued he was manager of the year. Now after a few tough weeks we should fire him? The best manager the franchise has had? After 3 straight playoff appearances for the first time in franchise history? Cmon man take look at this lineup...this is a poor hitting team due to the players assembled, no coach is fixing that

This.

 

Blame Stearns for assembling a team of hitters that can't really hit.

[Eye Black]

Wong taking a beating tonight. Surprised he’s remained in the game, he looks like he’s in a lot of pain.

 

EDIT: Wong out of the game now. The Brewers may have just temporarily solved their excess of middle infielders. Hopefully Wong ends up alright.

[trwi7]

Wow, we found a bullpen bad enough to make our offense look competent.

[mtsportsfan]

Nice job Cain , that's more like it ! Com'on Yelli , time to get into one.

[adambr2]

I never thought I'd see the day when we got 2 ducks on the pond with Yelich up and I'm satisfied with his RBI groundout.

[SomewhereInTime]

Damn, thought we had a chance for a second there.

 

Counsell has really managed this one to lose.

[SomewhereInTime]

Outstanding catch

[wallus]

Cain is washed up

[RollieTime]

Cain is good at defense. Even the Reds fans are clapping for that catch! Wow! Nice tip of the cap from their fans.

[PinaMadness]

[Underachiever]

I never thought I'd see the day when we got 2 ducks on the pond with Yelich up and I'm satisfied with his RBI groundout.

Especially when he started 0-2. These guys watch more first pitch strikes than I care to see.

[adambr2]

106 off the bat. You better have some top notch defense behind Josh Lindblom.

[mtsportsfan]

Wow , wow . What a catch. So good the reds fans even cheered.

[Oxy]

I haven't read the game thread...who is this color guy? He is beyond terrible.

[Eye Black]

Maybe they should’ve waited to trade Feyereisen and Rasmussen until after today’s game.
