2021-08-03: Pirates (Kranick) at Brewers (Houser) [Brewers lose, 8-5 in 10 innings -- Houser doesn’t allow a hit over 6.1 IP and exits with 4-run lead; things quickly unravel in the 7th]

DS isn't king midas

 

Pretty, pretty close though.

I am a DS guy and think he is a great GM. Maybe I'm wrong about the deadline deals.

[yourout]

Need to keep this at a run and not three or four.

[trwi7]

If Gamel hit half as well for the Brewers as he does against the Brewers then he would probably still be a Brewer,

[homer]

That was a really nice play by Cain just to glove that.

Feels like Counsell mismanaged this game in almost every way possible regarding pitching.

[Bulldogboy]

Brewers went from who's going to get cut from the pen to is there anybody else real fast.

[adambr2]

Well the tie was fun while it lasted.

[Bulldogboy]

Sanchez being shelved is a mystery

[pacopete4]

Guys can’t complain about opportunities. Many are getting a chance.

[PeaveyFury]

Things you never thought you'd hear a month ago: I can't wait for Jandel Gustave to come back from the IL so he can take some late inning work.

Something I said yesterday: I would prefer Perdomo to Axford.

 

And somehow may have been wrong about that.....

In that he used the yutzes left on the roster rather than pulling a guy out of the stands?

[82brewcrew82]

It is something that they guy they'd prefer Axford over is the guy we are hanging our hopes on.

[Underachiever]

Counsell hoping there’s a name on his list that he missed.

[yourout]

Not too often you can throw a middle middle fastball with almost no movement to polanco and have him swing through it.

[adambr2]

Well there's one....

[wOOgiE22]

Yikes. That was right down the middle and swung right through it.

Well, Perdomo didn’t hurt himself! There’s that…

[yourout]

Yikes. That was right down the middle and swung right through it.

Lucky that one didn't end up on the dew deck.

[adambr2]

Yikes. That was right down the middle and swung right through it.

 

Yeah he really got away with one. We'll take it, especially in that situation.

[pacopete4]

Perdomo looks like he should hit triple digits and I saw 93mph.

[Underachiever]

Hello, Newman.

I am a DS guy and think he is a great GM. Maybe I'm wrong about the deadline deals.

I’m just suggesting to give it a couple of weeks before we come to any definitive conclusions about guys they traded for four days ago. They might be awful, they might be great, or they might be somewhere in between. In 2019, Drew Pomeranz gave up earned runs in 3 of his first 5 appearances with the Brewers, and then gave up just 3 total earned runs over his next 20 appearances. All I am saying is let’s reconvene in a few weeks and determine how helpful the deadline acquisitions were.

[adambr2]

Perdomo just isn't very good. But we are very limited on current options. I'm surprised they haven't dabbled with a few more piggyback starts until the pen gets healthy again.

[PeaveyFury]

 

And somehow may have been wrong about that.....

Well, Perdomo didn’t hurt himself! There’s that…

 

True. At least he didn't spike himself on the way back to the dugout.

[Fear The Chorizo]

missed his spot by about 5 feet there...lol
