Brewers (Burnes) vs Guardians (Civale): 6/25/23, 12:40pm

[Brock Beauchamp]

Peralta couldn't get the job done yesterday due to one big(ish) inning, hopefully Burnes will do better as the Brewers try to leave Cleveland with a series win.

You almost need to throw shut-out baseball to get a win with our lineup. 😕

Most of my lifetime it was the opposite so I don't mind the change of pace.

25% of the time - 19 of 76 games - the Brewers have scored 1 or 0 runs. That is unacceptable & falls squarely on the shoulders of GM Matt Arnold for assembling such a terrible offensive roster.

Andy Haines has to go! Oh wait. 

Am I doing this right?

[Frisbee Slider]

I feel like the Garrett Mitchell injury is when the offense began to decline. Not sure if it is causation or correlation.

[AKCheesehead]

Fortunately no harm done there. Looked like there was plenty of time for rf to make that play.

Is it really Arnold's fault that a bunch of established/semi-established players are having the worst seasons of their career? How is a GM supposed to predict that so many players will have 10th percentile outcome seasons. 

Adames - 86 wRC+ vs 109 wRC+ last season

Tellez - 84 wRC+ vs 110 wRC+ last season

Winker - 59 wRC+ vs 108 wRC+ last season

Urias - 61 wrC+ vs 110 wRC+ last season

Taylor - 8 wRC+ vs 102 wRC+ last season

Brosseau - 75 wRC+ vs 118 wRC+ last season 

I don't really know how you can blame a GM for not predicting that.

Basically traded one of the worst hitting coaches in baseball for the 2 that were one spot above him

Not to mention that three of our actual competent hitters - Contreras, Anderson, Miller - were acquired by Arnold this offseason.

Good point 🙌🏼

Nice inning there but we need to pour it on and not sit on three runs the rest of the game.

Yelich has been solid this year

You may very well be right

So … if all responsibility falls onto the players …

Should Winker & a few others be jettisoned - DFA’d?  
Should we simply hold out & hope they come around?

Not sure how that is Perkins fault there.  His momentum took him off the base just bad luck there as the base was stolen if that doesn’t happen.

Much improved, no doubt 👏🎉🙌

Nowhere near his best Brewers seasons

Somewhat close to his Miami years

Surely hope this is a sign of things to come for the next several years since we have no way of moving him with that albatross contract

It's been half a season. If they haven't come around by now, they aren't ever going to, at least not until they're playing for another team.

Most likely neither.

You still gotta find a way to stay on the base. Throw wasn't even close.
