Brewers (Harrison) vs Athletics (Springs): 6/8/26, 9:05pm

[Bulldogboy]

Hard to rally with Ortiz and then 4-3

[edfunderburk]

I plan to attend a series of games at the new ballpark in Vegas in a few years. Gosh, I’m glad I didn’t make this particular road trip.

If you really think Harrison having one bad outing in a shoebox crappy minor league ballpark changes anything you need help. 

It doesn’t change the fact that he’s still our second best starter.

It also isn’t realistic to think he’d continue to be a 1.50 ERA starter.

[YelichPosse]

Yelich looks lost 60% of the time. 
 

I don’t think this game is over but man … what a racket this field is 

[KCBrewerfan34]

Harrison should have been in the dugout, we botched 2 potential double plays. Good grief!!!

Yeesh. Bandbox indeed.

The Las Vegas ballpark makes Houston’s ballpark look like Denver’s ballpark 

[BruisedCrew]

Playing in this park could screw up the pitching staff for a week.

Won’t be staying up for games that are guaranteed to go past midnight. 

[Bulldogboy]

People keep talking about who should be playing between Bauers Vaughn Frelick Mitchell. I submit Yelich should not be playing against lefties at this point much less leadoff. Just crazy lineup construction. 

[edfunderburk]

Looks like Spurs may steal Game 3 in New York tonight … up 4 with 7 second to go.

He’s actually better against lefties this season although for his career he’s more of a traditional splits guy.

I don't know. At this point in his career he’s just not that valuable of a player, to me. You can’t play him anywhere in the field so there’s absolutely no flexibility which robs every other regular from getting days off from playing in the field. 

This would be fine if he raked, and he’s not a liability. He just isn’t such a great hitter that your lineup can’t live without him. Very streaky.

There should be 2 errors in this inning, and I believe that would make all 6 runs unearned

Our pitchers have had some hard luck with official scorers on this road trip. There were multiple fundamental mistakes that should be errors in Denver & here in Vegas as well. These earned runs are unfair to these pitchers.
 

Wake up defense. Play sound baseball.

He is striking out more than he ever has but coming into tonight he was hitting .300/.378/.500 against LHP this year.

In June thus far (before tonight) .370/.469/.444

He is striking out almost 1/3 of the time and he has failed in a few "we need you to drive this guy in" scenarios so I think his failures have been more memorable? I have the same "what are we doing Yeli?" thoughts more often than normal too..

[adambr2]

Bauers. You’re not going to make up 4 runs with 1 swing and 1 on. Gotta stay patient. That was WAY out of the zone.

Given what has happened after he signed his deal with all of the other players we have then moved on from his contract is the most outlier thing I can remember in sports. There was no reason to do it then and the damage it's done is catastrophic. I think Brewers probably win a world series by now if they don't sign that deal.

[adambr2]

This would be a 4 hour game if every pitch that this dumb umpire missed got challenged.

Not a good night for people who paid thousands of dollars for tickets and had to stand in lines that were blocks long to get in. 

[Bulldogboy]

Vaughn against lefties. Jeez

[adambr2]

Man, I really thought that was out, but at least we got 1 back, 

[wallus]

Remember the Field of Dreams game where they used juiced balls to bring attention? Hmmm

[Bulldogboy]

Honestly after yesterday wouldn't have minded seeing Sanchez dh tonight against the left

[liveforoctober]

Vaughn's first at bat was a warning track flyout. He is probably 10-12 total feet from having 3 of them thus far..

I have no such memory … Is that a conspiracy theory?

My God bring back Drohan so I don't have to hear about the '82 team.

You’re just lucky their home stadium has a roof or you’d hear about the Legend of the 1982 Brewers during every rain delay.
