Cardinals go down. Now, head to Toronto without Goldschmidt and Arenado....

[yourout]

Does the crew have any promising catchers in the pipeline?

Mario Feliciano in AAA and Jeferson Quero in A. Quero has a really high ceiling with his glove.

The last few years he wasn't productive with the bat. Hiura at least hits the ball hard which is he's been productive at the plate this year despite a high# of Ks. 

Yep and if you look at Cain his ops drops when he strikes out more

hiura would be a heckuva a player if he hit the ball more.   But some people have intimated that it’s the brewers organization fault.    If that is true than it’s just frustrating and frustrating to pro baseball as a whole

Yeah. Contact is obviously a really valuable skillset and always will be. But it's also quickly becoming a rare skillset due to the increased quality of MLB pitchers.

The CR starting pitcher was way beyond slow today. Watching their reliever is kinda like night and day.

[Brewcrew82]

Iglesias is so annoying.

Thanks... At some point it would be nice to have a stud catcher again

So, when someone is able to make contact and hit it hard enough to get it through or over the infield maybe we should recognize that instead of classifying them as weak hits.

It wouldn’t be as rare as you think of there was more emphasis on it.    These players could do it.    If/when the exaggerated shifts go away it would be useful for hitters to emphasize this more

[yourout]

Ugh..... Pull him.

[DuWayne Steurer]

Nobody up in the pen yet.  Counsell is really slow to respond this year to pitchers getting in trouble when the game is on the line, and it's kind of a problem. 

[brewers888]

Counsell is trying to completely give this game away keeping Gustave in there.

[willie key]

Hahahahaha.     What garbage

 

come on brewers

[brewers888]

This is not a high leverage pitcher and keeping him in there now is flat out stupid.

[yourout]

To late... Poor management.

[yourout]

CC has botched this game big time.

[jason21nl]

For the most part I like Counsell but I think he’s done a piss poor job this year.

I’m assuming we don’t have people to go to if he’s still in

[willie key]

Hold this to a one run game Milner 

[Brewcrew82]

Could've been worse. Rockies are very pesky. 

[Brewcrew82]

Woo TT

[DuWayne Steurer]

Back and forth game today.  

[jason21nl]

Huge to get out of that last inning without further damage. Brand new game
