Brewers (Burnes) vs White Sox (Kopech): 8/11/23, 7:10pm

As long as we have this offense , there will be no easy game , quite frankly and I know I'm not telling you something you don't know , but the only thing that separates us from being a bottom feeder team is our pitching! By the end of this road trip we'll be two games out !

“Nicely timed mound visit”

What did he say “Hey Corbin, as long as you’re giving up rockets, could you get them to hit one right at somebody.”

Change uniforms ……start hitting dingers

Hitting won’t matter tonight. Their ace of staff is going to hit the showers in 5 innings tonight. When a pitching and defense team doesn’t pitch, they lose.

Yep ! The only way we get on is with walks , hardly ever get a hit following walks .team is so frustrating to watch !

In defense of the Brewers, the Astros cheat.

He just has no clue what he is doing up there.  No plan at all.

[Bulldogboy]

Taylor probably should be playing instead of Wiemer against a righty.

At the very least, Wiemer should only start against LH pitchers.

You mean one of the two hitting instructors would say son it's hard to hit something moving 95 mph if you are moving the stick.

Then again, it is that same swing that got him to the major leagues.
 

Seriously, what do you honestly expect him to do, change the swing made him rich and that he dominated pitchers with almost his whole life?

Send him down for a couple of weeks.  He should not be rewarded for running up to the plate and swinging at literally everything.

[mtsportsfan]

Hope I'm wrong , but  Weimer is a journeyman player mainly used as a defensive replacement late in games unless he can change his approach at the plate ! To much movement, no plan whatsoever !

He can be a useful platoon bat.

He is absolutely the outfielder they should look to trade as soon as possible.

[brewers888]

No doubt whatsoever that we should have traded Burnes at the deadline if the offers were good.

Not in any useful moments ! Sure he will run into few, but overall he is not anybody I would count on !

[nate82]

Burnes pitching like first half Burnes.

[RobertCrawley]

Why is CC wearing old lady glasses. 

[82brewcrew82]

How 'bout them Packers though!

[brewers888]

We should fare great against the Dodgers and Rangers next week.

He has a base salary of $720,000. Hardly rich, and if he doesn't change his hitting habits he never will get that huge contract.

It would actually make sense.

[brewers888]

Arnold arguably had a worse deadline than his predecessor last year.

Is this a real question? Yeah I do. He's one of the worst hitters in mlb against rhp. What you did to get here ain't working.
