Giants (Birdsong) vs Brewers (Civale): 8/29/24, 1:10pm

[adambr2]

Ortiz finally earned his way up to the #8 spot in the order.

Another quality at bat by Perk

[adambr2]

One of those ABs where just putting it in play matters. 

[adambr2]

Not sure if Turang was complaining at the end of that AB but that wasn't close to being low.

Looked like he was disappointed in himself for not swinging.

[Brian]

I still can't believe Civale is only 28.

[markedman5]

Civale throwing the whole arsenal today…….

Nice at bat, Rhys. Good grief dude. 

[Bulldogboy]

Please I beg you Murphy bench Hoskins. Enough. 

[adambr2]

I read one of those "articles" the other day about how Rhys has been everything the Brewers could hope for and Brewer fans should be hoping he exercises his option for next year and I realized basically anyone can be a sports journalist these days.

Probably won’t until September when Black is back up.  

[nate82]

Wow that was just T-ball level of a run down.

[markedman5]

Not exactly as they drew it up but I’ll take it!

[adambr2]

That'll work. 

[folly412]

Nice.  Another "don't take our defense for granted" moment.

[Brian]

I would say bench Rhys but Bauers is just as bad,  at least split the time between the two and see if one gets hot. 

[willie key]

Can Sanchez play first.     Like at all?     If he can we would be way better off

I still believe Black will be a good MLB regular.

Per B-R, 2 games in 2017, 1 game 2022, 4 games this year (16.2 total innings).

Would really set us up nicely heading into the doubleheader if Civale can go 6 innings and replicate his performances against Cincy and Cleveland. 

So far, so good.

On the other side, only 4 hits, but Brewers already working Birdsong for 73 pitches in 3 innings, as they are wont to do.

I'm not convinced. Not without significant changes.

Once you accept the fact that playing first base for Milwaukee is like being the drummer for Spinal Tap, you understand things a lot better.
