I think actually what is happening is they are not babying Hader and already viewing him as the 3rd, or maybe 4th right behind Hughes, go-to bullpen arm. The issue is that CC, like almost every manager, does not understand how to use a bullpen and solely determines when to use different pitchers based on the inning. Nothing else is taken into consideration. Since it was the 6th, there was a 0% CC would have used his "7th inning" guy, or "setup man" or certainly not "closer". Also, Hader does probably need some babying, he now has 9 appearances and only has 1 where he not walked at least one hitter, that is horrendous.

Too bad there is that rule where you can only bring in your best relief pitcher in the 9th inning, no matter what the score/situation is in the 6th inning. Counsells hands were tied -
talk about luck, no surprise a pitcher who just walked 2 straight allows a line drive to the next batter
-
If he wanted the win he should not have given up the HR. Managing for the stat line of your players is not smart
-
And Coshun calls another ball gone
-
My thinking, too. Villar with a hit, he definitely needs to run now. Worst case Ontario, Thames leads off the next inning. haha, worst case Ontario, that is what Brewer fans were thinking in 1993 about Paul Molitor
-
Villar grounds out to the 2nd baseman on the pitch earlier this season
-
Coshan was fooled by that Braun flyout very badly
-
Cubs got the lead back in the 9th, but maybe Davis wants to blow another game to go along with his all-star performance
-
Thought we might see Webb
-
Phillips up to a 66% 3TO...except they are all Ks
-
That looked like rec league softball where the RF has no idea what they are doing

interesting question, this year Davies is only 4th across MLB. NYY Pineda 6.88 COL Senzatela 6.87 CLE Carrasco 5.71 MIL Davies 5.68 (not including tonight) ARI Ray 5.59 Graphic on tv broadcast had Davies at 7.4 runs per game. Hmm, looks like there are different ways of calculating it, depending on it you count the entire game's runs or just when the SP is in there. Either way he is not leading MLB this season even

This is tough to look up, but can you name the only Brewer to hit 2 HRs in the same inning? Russel Branyan? Its Dave Nilsson, 6th inning this game

OK, lets try to have Shaw make all 3 outs
-
8 runs thanks to number 8
-
Thames still not quite finding it, late on a 2-0 fastball twice today.
-
Arcia pulled his hands like a mirror image classic Prince Fielder swing. Davies is really stepping in the bucket, yet somehow walks
-
more like little league
-
Pablo Sandoval designated for assignment

Curse of the Shaw -
Well strikeouts are also at an all-time high, players are swinging for the fences more and hitting more HRs. Joey Votto is like the only player in the league who even slightly changes his approach with 2 strikes. So far this season across MLB there have been 52,687 PA with 2 strikes and 1039 HRs, 1.97% In 2001 there was a 1.84% 2 strike HR rate, so that is a .1% HR/PA difference and PAs with 2 strikes occur about half the time. With 76 PA/game, that would cause about a .03 HR/game increase, so it doesnt explain it all
