[treego14]

Round two vs the Guardians!

 

[treego14]

Their lefty against our righty ...

Can we once again be mighty?

No more bark at the park;

perhaps, that will be our spark?

Time for light -- no more dark!

Yikes. Priester getting another start. 

I said 3 weeks ago, the team just needed to keep its head above water in April. They did that, sitting around .500. 

It is now time to get going. Throwing Priester out there is not the answer. 

I fear if this team doesnt get out of neutral I will be calling for some selling to occur in June.

First start in LF for Yelich since April 24th.

The Brewers have 5 hitter in their lineup tonight with sub .700 OPS. They’re not really setting Priester up to succeed when a couple of runs allowed will likely be outcome determinative.

Good start Jackson. Oh geez Daz Cameron hitting second

[Simba2020]

Should have tried to steal home there. About the only chance of scoring. 

[duewizard]

Cookie right down the middle.

Priester sucks. The only thing worse than acquiring him was overpaying for him.

And here I thought it was Priester's 5 ERA/FIP/xERA and nearly 1:1 K:BB ratio that wasn't setting him up to succeed.

[Pugger]

I just turned the game on.   How did Cleveland score?

Priester gave up a meatball right down the middle to Ramírez

Sigh.  This game is over.  I'm gonna turn on Jeopardy at the bottom of hour.

3B hitting 0.00 - SS hitting .170 - LF hitting .207 - RF hitting .129 - Catcher hitting .227.......Could this be one of the worst lineups in MLB this year? 

[RightFieldCoder]

C Yellich .680

W Contreras .663

Yuni B .652

J Ortiz .457

A Monasterio .400

D Camerion .301

 

I added Yuni B's 2011 stats so  the lineup looks better?

Egad.  That is dreadful.  No wonder they can't score.

Sheesh. He’s made 6 starts. I recall you were up in arms when the Brewers traded Joey Wiemer and all his future potential away too. 
 

Everyone makes mistakes, you were wrong about Wiemer and they were right, maybe it’ll turn out that way with Priester in time as well. 

[Pugger]

Nice play by Monisterio.

[yfinn6]

I hate bunting but would've been fine with Cameron bunting Chourio to 3rd there. 

[yfinn6]

2, 3, and 4. Pathetic. 

[duewizard]

Chourio on third and doesn't score. Again. Goddamit

[Bulldogboy]

There was a time when Yelich was a tough out against lefties. That time has passed. He's a platoon bat now.
