Lauer might not even go 4 innings today.

[HarryDoyle]

Yeah, now it's as bad as it looks. Lauer is done.

[adambr2]

Well, we were due for a dud.

Lots of hard contact off of Lauer

Really hard.

I think we’re going to see a few innings of Javy Guerra taking one for the team tonight.

I like Guerra lot. He's got easy cheese at 99 with a lot of movement.

All of our pitchers' velocity is down...

Maybe it's the gun?

[HarryDoyle]

Well, Burnes' place in the starting rotation is safe anyway.

[adambr2]

Lauer is probably one of the more frustrating pitchers on our roster to watch. There are times he makes you believe he has ace upside and there are times he makes you wonder if he even belongs in the bigs at all. 

[Nola Beery]

We have a few at bats to go.

He's got to hit his spots to be effective. He doesn't have overpowering stuff, and he's been struggling with control all evening.

Unfortunately in his outing against the Cubs it moved out of the strike zone. 

[HarryDoyle]

Anything else on tonight?

[Brewcrew82]

And it's officially a shelling...

[markedman5]

Spring training Eric Lauer is now regular season Eric Lauer…….

A little bit. It's a good two-seamer though.

[treego14]

Not a good hour for Lauer!

We need to show some power before it gets more sour.

Unfortunately, so do they. 
 

This is one of those 50 or so games that you just lose and move on, not one of the 60 you fight over. 

[willie key]

I don’t understand what lauer is trying to do.    90 mph fastballs letter high 

[Brock Beauchamp]

Can’t watch tonight’s game, it appears I’m not missing much. 

[edfunderburk]

Unfortunately - we are due a clunker after six straight wins 

I hate to burn the bullpen 

I’d rather see Lauer “take one for the team” & get to 95-100 pitches before he exits 

Maybe he can work out the kinks & be good for his next start

I think I’ll watch a TV show & follow the game via my phone until we show some sign of life

You're missing batting practice.
