Game Thread (6/10/2022): Brewers (Ashby) at Nationals (Fedde) - 6:05 PM CDT

[BruisedCrew]

Ashby might need some work on the pitcher fielding drills. 

[yourout]

I sure hope Taylor snaps out of his funk soon. He has not been good for the last 2 weeks.

I appreciate Peterson being an aware enough hitter to have a runner on base when he hit that HR. Tired of these solo HRs.

Back to kindergarden, one of these batters is not like the others:

Batter   Bases Empty/Total

Yelich    .628/.682

Adames .711/.763

Tellez  .667/.799

Urias   .765/.683

McCutcheon  .582/.591

Renfroe   1.001/.795

Narvaez   .725/.779

Peterson  .640/.705

Taylor   .618/.688

 

[Brewcrew82]

If Yelich can do that consistently from the leadoff spot, I'll be okay with it. Not over the moon because that's not what we're paying him for, but it would fill a key role nevertheless. 

[Brewcrew82]

And then he goes ahead and steals second with two outs for Rowdy. Beautiful. 

[Brewcrew82]

Come on Rowdy. We don't need that right now. 

[yourout]

That can't happen when you're a big slow guy and a trail runner to boot.

[yfinn6]

Things teams do in losing streaks. 

[BruisedCrew]

And Rowdy can’t do that.

Let’s add base running blunders to the team’s woes. 

[HarryDoyle]

Some really great fundamental baseball being played tonight. Just not in Washington.

[Brewcrew82]

Still think a roster shakeup would've woken these guys up a bit.

Come on blue ...

That was a pitch a big league ump should never miss.

[stoutdude04]

All of these extra pitches because an umpire is awful. Love that.

 

I'm grumpy cuz I have the over on Ashby K's.

 

And now a base runner.

[Brewcrew82]

I want some random thing to go our way for once. 

[stoutdude04]

I would love to see a catcher just throw it around when it's called a ball and they know it's a strike. Ha.

[Brewcrew82]

Ughhh Lane Thomas. 

[yourout]

Really soft contact and inept plate ump is going to cost them some runs.

[HarryDoyle]

Soft contact base hits galore.

[BruisedCrew]

So is the failure to make plays in the field that could be made. 

[yourout]

Some really rotten luck this inning.

Also, you would think that the team would want a fresh arm from AAA considering Kelley pitched 2 innings yesterday. Regardless, he just absolutely sucks. I'm sure he's a great guy, but his ERA over 3 major league stints is 9.74....

I acknowledge that scouts, managers, & GMs are far more intelligent as it relates to whether or not a player has the ability to produce at the major league level … but how can any of those professionals not see what the average fan sees in Kelley?

[yourout]

Going to be another short start with a high pitch count.

[Nola Beery]

I just got here. Dismayed, Baseball is bizarre.
