Savvy veteran move by Cutch to not slide there.

So, thanks to Taylor, McCutchen’s gaffe just costs one run. 

[brooks_quichenick]

Tyrone!!!
 

Yepez looked absolutely lost out there trailing that ball. For as good of a defense as STL has overall, he's Ozuna Pt. 2: The Return in LF.

With my eye I can see that Tyrone Taylor is/was/has been a better option than LoCain the entire 2022 season.  What do the Professionals think they saw that we had to give away a win to confirm what everyone but a handful of professionals didn't know?

Did you switch your email to OOO and then come right back here? ?

[Brewcrew82]

Alexander cannot be allowed to face Goldschmidt and Arenado again. They have hit the ball hard against him every time they've been up.

Plenty of time to repeatedly post when the Brewers are trailing, however.

Curious!

It's because you don't give up on veterans without giving them due process. Tyrone Taylor is a bad defensive centerfielder and that will cost the Brewers runs over the course of a season. You don't hand him the keys without finding out whether Cain is truly cooked.

I thought you were just momentarily stunned by the HR following the McCutchen gaffe; I was.

[brooks_quichenick]

Time to get Alexander out of there

[brewers888]

Costanza has been fine but you can't give guys like this a long rope.

now maybe?

 

[Brewcrew82]

Good job, Alexander. But that's it for you. I'd be tempted to pitch Williams or Boxberger in the next inning. I'm sure it will be Sanchez, though.

 

[Nola Beery]

Not to complain about a homer, but it would have been nice if Willie had hit it out when he came up with the bases loaded.

1) This organization knows what suckitude is as the have gathered more than the normal share of "THE WORST HITTER" in baseball from Betancourt to Arcia to JBJ. We had several years of watching Travis Shaw hit like he was blind to know what really bad and washed up look like.

2) Taylor is a very good defender.  Just for comparison he has a +6 DRS in about the same amount of innings as Cain (over the last 2 seasons) where Cain was +9 DRS.

[Underachiever]

I’m unable to watch. Do you think Alexander will start the sixth? Will he pitch to Goldschmidt?

[Brewcrew82]

Adames now leads the majors in home runs by a SS....

I hope not. But I'm thinking Counsell will probably try to get another inning out of him, unfortunately.

The problem with using DRS here is that Taylor played the overwhelming number of innings at a corner spot. Put Cain at a corner spot for 800 innings and his numbers would be through the roof.

[Brewcrew82]

What are you doing Counsell?!

[Brewcrew82]

This is your fault Counsell. Two days in a row.
