Game Thread (4/22/2022): Brewers (Peralta) at Phillies (Suárez) - 6:05 PM CDT

One heck of an AB

[Brewcrew82]

Yelich can't catch a break....

[BruisedCrew]

I don’t think it’s greedy to be disappointed at only getting one run there. 
Between the first inning and this one the Brewers have left too many runs on the table. 

[brewers888]

Ashby has a lot of upside but he's got to throw more strikes.

[magnoliacrew]

To be clear, I'm for Segura hitting into a double play here.

[willie key]

Wasn’t Ashby supposed to be starting one of these upcoming games

[Brock Beauchamp]

Nice pitch by Ashby to get out of the inning.

Thats a great question. I thought we were going with a 6 man rotation again.

[Brewcrew82]

Hopefully Counsell keeps him in there for Harper and Schwarber. Last thing I wanna see is Devin in a one run game.

Cousins was warming up but I would rather keep Ashby in there.

Think of it more of the Brewers starters are going once every 6 days so if there is an off day they are skipping Ashby.

Not according to baseball reference

 

[brewers888]

I've seen about enough of Renfroe. 

[Brewcrew82]

As for a "good" problem, looks like they'll have no choice but to bring up Ethan Small soon....

[brewers888]

I really prefer to get another righthanded bat but if Conforto is healthy we should just sign him.

This franchise continues to produce pitching. Hopefully some of the position player prospects develop because we sure need a few.

Conforto is... woof. I don't know what to think about a guy who hasn't played baseball in that long.

Look at how bad offense is just because Spring Training was shortened by three weeks... imagine what Conforto might look like after missing not only ST but also 2+ weeks of the season.

[brewers888]

Damn it Brosseau.

They need to get someone that can hit. 

[BallFour]

That is on Brosseau

[brewers888]

Just no luck for Ashby this inning.

[wOOgiE22]

No luck this inning. He has made good pitches too. 

[yourout]

Ugh...

This could be over with one more swing of the bat.

For sure. What bad luck. Wow.

[BallFour]

Potential difference in the game will be the Brewers lineup doing nothing with the bases loaded in Inning 1 with no outs vs. the Phillies doing the opposite
