Corbin Burnes gets a longer leash than others and thats how it should be.

Not at 100 pitches in the 6th imo. I could be wrong but he didn't have it setting a career high in walks. Help him out.

[bulldogboy0733]

Well we either hit a bunch more homers or lose by a run. Brewers baseball.

[willie key]

Just bad baseball.    Just bad.     Just give them the game

 

 

[Warning Track Power]

Thank god we bolstered that bullpen

[Brewcrew82]

Struggling with the Pirates lately. 

[Cool Hand Lucroy]

Awful inning. Walks, a passed ball, a throwing error.

Can't have that when you're trying to win games via run prevention.

Hope the offense can bail them out tonight.

Hey, I thought pitching was supposed to be our strength for the World Series run. That inning did not support that theory.

Hindsight is 20/20

Really need a better center fielder than TT.

I like the guy but he's not good enough for that spot.

[Brewcrew82]

Aghhh just missed it. 

[Brewcrew82]

Will CC pinch hit Brosseau here?

[bulldogboy0733]

If you are pinch hitting for your number 3 and 5 hitters you probably needed to find another bat. 

[folly412]

Good to see we're still doing the three catcher thing.

[Brewcrew82]

DFA Severino.

[SomewhereInTime]

Another embarrassing set of abs against a lefty.  Absolutely needed to pick up guys at the deadline who can hit lefties.

[YelichPosse]

Hey at least we have 3 catchers on the roster still. Who can pinch hit and look at a strike 3 with bases loaded so there’s that.

[bulldogboy0733]

Somebody has to explain the Severino love. Can't play D has no pop without the juice and oh by the way can't play in playoffs. What exactly is he doing here??

[Cool Hand Lucroy]

Frustrating.

Carrying three catchers is weird in the regular season. Like, Severino getting one AB every few days. Can you really send him up there and expect a lot in that situation?

[mtrebs]

Perfect example of why we needed another bat. Pinch-hitting for your 3 and 4 hitters with bases loaded and one out and you get nothing.

[Warning Track Power]

Honest question. What does Severino bring to the team? He is a below average defensive catcher and he is mediocre at best offensively. He should never see the field.

Especially now that the Cardinals have added a couple of competent lefties to baffle the Brewers. 

[Brewcrew82]

Thanks Stearns for messing up the team chemistry.

Who loves him?  There are only two people that even like him.  Unfortunately those two determine his status on the roster and his playing time but nobody else is even in like with him.
