Game Thread (10/01/2022): Marlins (Cabrera) at Brewers (Ashby) - 6:10 PM CDT

[Brock Beauchamp]

Not pretty but it gets the job done. 

[adambr2]

According to gamecast Pitch 1 to Taylor was a ball low called a strike, and Pitch 2 was slightly higher and called a Ball.

[bulldogboy0733]

Without the wild pitch and hit batter they don't score at all. Do not be fooled folks this team is brutal. That said let's win.

[DuWayne Steurer]

I don't care how they get it done or how pretty it looks, just get the W tonight an keep pace with the Phils.  

[wibadgers23]

So what does Counsell have against Mitchell? That should have been his AB.

[yourout]

The 3 positions that most need offensive improvement next year are 3rd, CF, and C.

Whether it comes from rookies or better seasons from existing bats it has to be better.

Mitchell should be playing every day in CF - period. He’s been the best hitter on a team that doesn’t hit.

[yourout]

So does Box or Bush give up the HR?

I thought Keston was our best hitter...

I'll give Bush almost even money to give up a dinger tonight. 

[yourout]

Robots.....damn robots.

This is the IGT, so I doubt we need any more reminders not to be fooled.

But yes indeed, let’s get this win.

12 pitch inning from Box. I'd be tempted to let him go back out there.

 

[yourout]

TT now in the record books with about 1000 other guys with 3 putouts in an inning.

No, save him for tomorrow and don't press your luck.

[Brewcrew82]

If we don't make the playoffs, I think I'm going to cheer for the Braves out of the NL. Arcia has been starting for them quite frequently lately.

To be fair - he was at the time lol

[yourout]

Willy now 4 for 30.

He is one streaky guy at the plate.

[Brewcrew82]

Okay, Brosseau, you get a lefty to redeem yourself...

[bulldogboy0733]

Pitching Bush in this spot is insane. I would rather Strezelski.

He's not been good lately. I don't understand this decision.

Yep, now after a very uneven and  old September with very sporadic at bats, hiura is the 2nd best hitter on the roster judging by OPS after Renfroe's recent surge

At third, Brewers are 23rd in MLB in OPS. At C they are 19th. At CF they are 20th, but would be a lot better if you removed Cain's stats.
At 1B, they are 14th. At 2B, they are 5th. At SS, they are 8th. LF: 13th. RF: 3rd (yet people want to let Renfroe walk). DH: 16th.

His .241/.315/.726 OPS slash line would fit in absolutely seamlessly in our completely interchangeable lineup. I forgot what we even got for him. I'm assuming it was basically nothing. 

[willie key]

The brewers need the most improvement at c, 1b, 2b, ss, 3B, lf, cf, rf, dh and pitcher next year

 

however they do it I’m ok with
