Brewers hitters don’t have a lot of experience facing Aaron Sanchez, but the two with the most success against him have been Willy Adames (3-for-7) and Jackie Bradley Jr. (5-for-21, 2B, HR). Sanchez just recently returned from a biceps injury that had kept him out of action since early May. In his two appearances since returning he’s pitched 5.0 total innings, throwing 36 pitches in his first outing and 59 pitches in his second.

Watching a replay of last night's game... Top of the 10th, Dillard drops a seamless "you don't win friends with salad" reference in describing the 1st base ump's unpopularity following a questionable check swing call. Fan for life.

From Will Sammon:

 

Brewers will activate Christian Yelich today but won’t be in the lineup, Counsell said. He’s available, though.

[BruisedCrew]

Just about time for the daily Covid report.

 

Same lineup as last night except that Pina is catching and batting 8th, so last night’s 4-8 all move up a slot.

Looking at the lineup and it's amusing to me how things change. It wasn't that long ago that the lineup was often Cain, Yeli, Braun (all OFer's). Now lately it's been the IF at the top of the lineup.

Really looks like jbj might be done here. Taylor can’t find a hit and he’s still playing

On the other hand, it's too bad Urias can't get into the lineup. Escobar has 275 career innings in the outfield, which is 275 more than he had at first base before last week. Not an option?

[nate82]

If Taylor continues to struggle I wouldn't mind seeing Urias get some time in LF.

If Urias could play a passable LF that would really make him probably the best utility guy in baseball.

Yelich activated but not in lineup? Why?

[willie key]

Yelich activated but not in lineup? Why?

 

 

Probably a little more rest for back and not have him play the field. He basically did nothing for ten days and they want to make sure back is in shape

[TURBO]

We can only hope, but I see no way he doesn't exercize his option for next year. He will stay and take the money.

Sometimes guys come back the next year and completely turn it around

 

This year he might done except for some minor spot roles

Woody seems amped up for this one.

[yourout]

Heck of a play by Bryant.

[wibadgers23]

Wow Woodruff looks extra nasty tonight. Get the man some runs please!!

He might have to do it himself. They certainly won't score runs for him

[82brewcrew82]

Is Narvaez hurt?

[yourout]

Is Narvaez hurt?

 

Was wondering that myself after they pinch hit for him last night.

Last night felt like get Pina an AB against a lefty amd get a better defensive catcher in the game for extras.

 

Today seems like just a planned day...

 

Maybe, though.

[gebc1997]

I bet with Sanchez starting and likely only going a few innings, Counsell figured that the Giants would use a few lefties during the night that would neutralize Omar, so give him today off instead of his usual Sunday

[Guest]

Willy definitely looked like something was wrong after the play, I wonder if he's not feeling well or something.

[titletownking]

I knew right away he was hurt. My guess is pulled groin or hamstring. Not his normal jubilant self after that double.
