Game Thread (7/16/2022): Brewers (Lauer) at Giants (Cobb) - 6:15 PM CDT

Got greedy one too many times. Oh well.

[trwi7]

Weird how the offense isn't good when we come up with brilliance like that.

[brewers888]

Just awful fundamentals to get thrown out stealing third there.

[Cool Hand Lucroy]

Like, seriously. Instead of trying to nibble on the edges with fake ways to speed time or make the game more exciting (no-pitch IBBs, 3-batter min, fake second-base runners), do you think we could save the 3 minutes it takes to see if a runner came off the bags for a fraction of a second. Dumb.

I like the basepath aggression on a weak hitting team!

[brewers888]

Do we really have to bring Suter in here. 

[willie key]

And now we have to go to Suter.   Cripes sakes

Never get caught stealing third with two outs.

[Cool Hand Lucroy]

I am going to yell about putting a safe zone above the bag to distract from that ridiculousness.

He's due

[brewers888]

I'm not looking to fire Counsell like some but his decision making has been terrible all season.

[Brewcrew82]

Why Suter here? Why not Gott, Gustave, etc.? 

[treego14]

Suter makes me too nervous!

His pitches are just way too hittable in close games!

None of us like this move. 

[treego14]

Crybaby Flores ... boooooo!

[treego14]

Counsell's decision making ... booooo!

[brewers888]

This is just too stupid but Counsell has been terrible this year.

I agree completely with this.  If you touch the base first you should have a safe zone on these slides

[Brewcrew82]

Suter is not a guy you put into a game like this.

Agreed.  This is a good game to try to make something happen. 

[brewers888]

Counsell is like a deer caught in headlights lately.

[willie key]

Counsell is just beyond bad at this point

 

lauer pitches 7 good inning and this is the guy you bring in

[Brewcrew82]

And now Suter can't even throw strikes. Not a good omen.

Such an easy fix. Stop making a fetish out of the base itself! Spirit of the rule, friends. Spirit of the rule.
