Much-needed quick inning. Please score!

[ClearWaterWI]

1 run in the last 18 innings is not going to cut it.

And the 1 run only came because of an error.

Just terrible, Vaughn. Terrible.

The reason Bauers gets his fair share of grief is that most players in this lineup are good players who are going through a rough stretch. 

Bauers is not a good player, has never been a good player, and yet continues to receive a large share of playing time. That’s the difference.

Will I be frustrated if Hoskins goes 0 for 4 with 2 K’s in his first game back? Of course, but I’ll at least understand that he has had success in the big leagues and playing him is an understandable thing. 

Completely, and it isn't really about Bauers. He is who he is, which is basically a replacement level player (at best). He is 29 and has had like 1700 ABs. When you have an above-average sitting at AAA, why are you waiting on Bauers to suddenly become Freddy Freeman?

I just do not buy, in any way, the idea that it's too much to ask to carry two RH-hitting, exclusively 1B/DHs. Teams carry 3 catchers in September, man. Plus, Bauers is not really playing the OF, either. He is 1B and DH. At the very least, this club needs to do a better of arguing its case (which is impossible, because there is no serious case). Everyone can see it but Murph/the org. 

Again, I'm not thinking this is any kind of solution. Like I said, I don't even think it matters that much. But I would love for someone to make the case for Bauers belonging on this roster in a way that makes sense.

 

[kevinisaname]

HUGE HIT! FINALLY!

[Cool Hand Lucroy]

You're welcome.

Although it probably bought Bauers the rest of the season, so...crap. (blue)

[yfinn6]

HAHA OF COURSE

[Vgmastr]

Bauers just guaranteed his spot on the playoff roster

[adambr2]

lol. I’m happy for him. Really. That must feel good.

[tmwiese55]

ha, too funny.    its crazy how much that happens.   stuff we talk about and say before the game that doesn't make sense, then that guy comes through

Lmao 

[edfunderburk]

Bauers delivered … Brewers with the lead … & now Durbin 

[jason21nl]

Bauers now has the only two hits from the bottom 4 in the order including the last 3 games

 

edit: Durbin ends that nonsense

Hoskins time. At least a few days per week.

[edfunderburk]

We are due for a big inning

Hopefully we get some runs with the bases loaded here

[edfunderburk]

If only Turang had power

Give him a plaque!!!

[Bulldogboy]

Happy Bauers came through but it definitely buys him more time on roster. I can live with him as Siegler replacement. 

[BruisedCrew]

Not to be greedy but needed more there with a struggling pitcher. 

This game isn’t ending 3-2 and that was a big chance to add on.

Yeah that one RBI single totally flips the argument of his entire career on its head. 

[kevinisaname]

Quick inning by Quinn. With the state of our bullpen, I'd let him go another inning.

Yet you guys worship Vaughn on here who is a career .200 hitter while he had a 4 week hot stretch 

[yfinn6]

Man does this team need to put up a crooked inning here and let the last man in the bullpen try to finish it out.
