2021-07-16: Brewers (Houser) at Reds (Mahle) [Brewers win, 11-6 -- Adames tallies 3 hits and 4 RBI as Crew overcomes early deficit]

[brewers888]

Suter is the last guy who needs to be squeezed.

[adambr2]

That's the same pitch Yelich stuck out on isn't it??

 

No. The pitch to Yelich was lower. Ridiculous call.

[brewers888]

That's the same pitch Yelich stuck out on isn't it??

 

Pretty much and it costs us at least a run.

[Bulldogboy]

Huge. Umps are crushing the crew. Of course Wong error doesn't help

[titletownking]

Suter is really falling apart of late.

[adambr2]

Piss off, ump.

[titletownking]

Suter is really falling apart of late.

 

This was sarcasm. Please don’t come for me. Rough calls and error cost him.

[adambr2]

Huge. Umps are crushing the crew. Of course Wong error doesn't help

 

Normally I don't get too upset about borderline calls that can go either way, but when you ring up Yelich the inning before on the low strike, you damn well better do it the other way too.

My Bally Sports app isn’t working on my phone tonight. Anyone else having trouble?

 

Yep, it’s down. Switched to TV

 

I wasn’t able to watch the Bucks postgame via the Bally app on my phone and Roku the other night (it was raining hard and my DirecTv signal was toast). I wonder if it has been down since.

How do the Brewers rank as a team defensively. With all this talk about pitching and defense I question whether the defense has been good at all.

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

It seems like Tucker Barnhart sucks against every other team but Milwaukee.

[Bulldogboy]

Asking this team to score 6 runs to win a game seems like a big ask.

Currently rank 6th in MLB in defensive runs saved. So yes, the defense has been good.

[brewers888]

Another great at bat from Jace.

[adambr2]

Peterson has really nice ABs.

[TURBO]

Starting Houser tonight was just an asinine decision. Wodruff was well rested, and I'm not sure that any manager in MLB would have started Houser over their ace after 5 days rest, and a division game vs a team that has owned us recently.

 

It was a bad decision, period.

[Bulldogboy]

Why can't everyone do what Jace does and not swing at balls and get on base??

[brewers888]

Urias coming through.

[homer]

woo hoo!

Some want to pretend all games are equal.

[adambr2]

Lots of time left in this one.

[Bulldogboy]

Peterson is so big for this team right now. He just created a run by getting on again in front of that double. Brewers need to ride with him for a while.

They're not all equal, but it depends on their actual chances of finishing ahead of you in the division.

 

A game against the Pittsburgh Pirates has no more importance than any other game. A game against the Reds does.

You are right. I am not typically in favor of focusing on matchups with so much season left, but there was plenty of writing on the wall indicating that Houser would struggle tonight, and that's exactly what happened. And I really like Houser. But throwing him against the Royals was always a much better matchup.

Other than 1 game the last few series against the Reds have been super close and the games could go either way. They keep pulling them out though. We need to figure out how to beat them
