Atlanta (Elder) vs Brewers (Teheran): 7/23/23, 1:10pm

[Brewcrew82]

Hopefully, Winker is DFA'd tomorrow. We need offense from somewhere. Tyler Black and/or Keston Hiura are options. 

[82brewcrew82]

Not a single competitive at bat in the 9th.

I think we see some changes before the next game

[Brewcrew82]

Gotta hit Frelick at the top of the order and hit one of Yelich/Contreras/Adames cleanup.

While I'm happy they didn't get embarrassed i don't feel much if any better about their chances of scoring runs in playoff games and teams like the braves are going to score some from against pretty much anyone we trot out there.

Agreed. I’m just glad I’m not Arnold.  I don’t want to have to try to figure out how many chips to push into the pot on this year, which is most likely our last with Burnes.  That’s a tough call.  My head says it isn’t worth it to go too big.  But my heart always says, but maybe…

[Nola Beery]

"good game" and all that. But losing stinks. We must figure out how to score

I doubt it we see anything until the deadline.  That would have happened by now.

I mean we just DFA'd Tapia and selected Frelick yesterday. What is so different 2 days later?

[markedman5]

First series loss in a month

Bullpen can’t be perfect every time…….very hard to beat that team scoring 2 runs.

If Hiura was in the plan, he'd be up by now.  Black may or may not hit at the big league level.  They need to trade for some bats and hopefully not give up Black.

I think there’s a very good chance Black would come up and give us better production than Winker.

[Jim French Stepstool]

Interesting top of the 7th. If CC & Hook felt good about Teheran v Olson then he definitely should've gone back out there. But it wouldn't have made any difference as CC was going Peguero-8th regardless, and once he does that I doubt he uses Milner to match up.

I thought we had a chance to tax Heller a little in the 8th, and of course the one unsuccessful AB of the first 4 that inning is Contreras being over-anxious on the first pitch & short-circuiting the whole thing. Ticked me off.

Totally agree but there is an equal chance he gives you nothing.  I am not opposed to making the move, I just think they need some proven hitters.

It almost can’t  be worse…….

Compared to Winker? Equal chance? Both Black, Hiura, and a traded bat or two. 

[markedman5]

Black with another double early on today…….his OPS is getting close to 1000………that’s a big number for a 22 year old in AA

This is pretty much the only takeaway for me from this game. 
 

It’s hard to beat any major league team, much less one with a strong lineup, scoring 2-3 runs a game. It’s amazing that the Brewers went 7-3 in the last 10 games scoring just 31 runs against the Reds, Phillies, and Braves. 
 

If that sort of run production continues for another week, I wouldn’t be surprised if they go 0-6. Now that the Reds have regained their mojo all they have to do is figure out how to score the 3 runs it takes to beat the Brewers. That shouldn’t be hard for them against Rea. 
 

The most depressing thing in the game for me was putting the tying runs on base in the 8th and having the number 5 hitter in the order come up in the person of…Andruw Monasterio. If Winker isn’t a better option in that situation against a RHP, he has to be released. 

[treego14]

Turn the page!

It's a new day with Rea!

Bash the Ash!

Have to be daft to think we should fear Craft!

Trivia question that I don't have the answer for.

Name the last Brewer hitter that was drafted by the team and came up tru the minors to have an at bat in an MLB All-Star game?

Lo Cain doesn't count.

Probably Braun or Lucroy

[kestrel79]

Braun or Lucroy mid 2010s? Yikes.

Thoughts after another winnable game that we lose due to poor offense:

Teheran pitched well enough to win 

Winker should not be on the roster - he only plays every 3 days & adds nothing

The bullpen was bound to give up a few runs at some point - too bad it was in a game where (once again) we left zero margin for error
