2021-07-17: Brewers (Woodruff) at Reds (Castillo) [Brewers win, 7-4 in 11 innings -- Crew outhits Reds 15-5; Gustave pitches two strong innings in extras]

[wildcat83]

Brewers hitters being really aggressive against Castillo who seems to have completely lost his control

[jjgott]

That low pitch must look good because absolutely none of them have been strikes for a while now.

[PeaveyFury]

But when you sign the type of guys DS does every off season, what does anyone expect??

 

A first place team, apparently?

[brewers888]

Narvaez walks and then Garcia gets himself out without swinging at on pitch in the strikezone

[BruisedCrew]

Castillo throws 5 balls out of the strike zone to Garcia and he swings at 4 of them.

[xisxisxis]

This is what makes the Brewers offense so frustrating.

The Brewers offense is so frustrating because the have too many s hitty hitters.

[brewers888]

Great hustle Jace.

[jjgott]

Another low pitch another whiff. He's nowhere close to the zone guys!

[JET15]

Jace looks pretty athletic there, unlike the alligator armed miss at first

[trwi7]

We're willingly chasing Castillo's worst pitch.

[brewers888]

Just keep leaving em on all night.

[Bulldogboy]

No team has more guys up in big situations that you feel have zero chance to come through. It is incredible how many times Bradley or Hiura or Yelich or Pina come up with me on base and you just fel like on to the next inning we go. Frustrating.

[TURBO]

Woodruff for the 6th, with 97 pitches before the inning starts?

 

I thought we were saving the arms of our big 3, but instead we are going to abuse them?

 

Doesn't make any sense, none.

Not like Counsell at all.

[wildcat83]

Why send him out for 2 batters? If he goes out let him pitch the inning with the bases clear.

Woody is pissed.

 

You'd think CC would have had that conversation with him before sending him out for the 6th, right?

You think they keep winning with this poor of an offense?? Look how frustrated everyone is every night in the game threads over the lack of offense. Everyone knows they are having the year they are mostly on the back of their Pitching. The hitting and pitching splits bear that out. IF they make the playoffs, I'd say it was a lot of luck and smoke and mirrors and NOT an offense that can contend when they get to the playoffs. I for one, don't want a team that is doing things with smoke and mirrors. Imagine how many more games they could have/would have won this year with any semblance of offense. How big would their lead be??

Probably didn't want Boxberger facing Votto and Naquin.

[wibadgers23]

I’m convinced I’ve lost a couple years off my life watching these last few series against the Reds. Umps are a major reason why.

Go check the stats posted in the offense thread in the ML forum. The offense has been fine since the Adames trade. Those that are complaining are using an outdated view of things. Unsurprisingly.

[pacopete4]

Good bunt there by Yelich.

[brewers888]

Yelich with the big swinging bunt.

[trwi7]

"That worked."

 

Yeah, Matt, exactly what we wanted, a 20 foot chopper by our $200 million man.

[trwi7]

Watching Yelich hit is almost as painful as watching that stupid American Family Insurance commercial that he's in.
