Suter is not my guy but where is he in this situation??

Staring at the endless line of Cub right handed hitters and remaining firmly planted on the bench.

OF defense is putrid tonight

[bulldogboy0733]

Cain can't hit now he can't play D?? What's the use?

[Eye Black]

Yelich looks really awkward moving around the outfield right now.

Not sure what you are talking about here.  Yelich just about ran into Cain really was Yelich's fault there.

By rule, any pitcher who throws sidearm or submarine style is typically terrible. Why the Brewers keep employing these guys I have no idea.

Agee with this. Guys do this when they can't get anyone out the regular way.

Nah Cain has to take charge and call him off. That's not what happened imo.

[Opening Day]

You have to give up a little defense sometimes for bats like Yelich and Cain

I believe it’s safe to say that Kelley is headed back to Nashville after tonight’s game to make room for Alexander to start tomorrow 

Kelley may never make it back to the big leagues, but he can tell his kids that he had a cup of coffee with the World Series Champion Milwaukee Brewers in 2022

The Reds tonight won their first game in Fenway Park since Game 7 of the 1976 World Series. 
 

Since they left Milwaukee in early May with a record of 3-22 the Reds have gone 14-9.

Yeah, he gave up the cycle to 4 straight Cubs batters on May 31.

Im assuming they thought relievers throwing overhand was a new market inefficiency

The ones we’ve found don’t resemble Tekulve or Quisenberry for sure

[magnoliacrew]

Good to see Yelich talking to Jason Lane again.

[Underachiever]

I sure do love watching Yelich go from 1st to third.

[Brewcrew82]

Peterson bunt? 

[bulldogboy0733]

Surprised they even pitched to Taylor with a lefty behind him.

Brewers don't believe in bunting. Data and stuff, etc.

[Brewcrew82]

Atta boy Rowdy. Nice two-out hitting.

And the fact that players can’t bunt.

With todays swings paths I dont think they would have the same success.

The launch angle emphasis have really changed what works for pitch location and launch points.

 

[bulldogboy0733]

Ok my bad on requesting Suter. He stinks

[Brewcrew82]

Luis Perdomo would've been perfect in this situation. 

[edfunderburk]

Am I the only one who gets nervous when Suter comes into a game?

I only want to see him pitch when we are way ahead or way behind 

I don’t want him pitching with the game on the line 

What happened to him?
