    Good comeback/bounce back win after yesterday’s crusher.

    Most, if not all,of the time he does it because he’s planning to make a move for defense anyway. So put the faster runner in. But I don’t like the move in a tie game where you might need his bat later.

    Speaking of Levering, it’s hard to criticize fans for getting excited about routine fly balls. When Hamilton hit that ball, Levering’s FLY BALL reaction made me think that maybe he got a hold of one. But, as soon as the camera switched to the centerfielder and he wasn’t even moving back I knew better.

    Shame on Bauers for swinging at the first pitch after the pitcher had just walked a guy. Terrible AB. He should be fined and benched.

    Lodolo has pitched 9 shutout innings against the Brewers but that isn’t enough to bring his ERA under 5.

    If the Reds bullpen is as bad as the Cubs bullpen the Brewers will not be scoring tonight.

    I’m not picking on you but just choosing this dreary occasion to raise a question that has perplexed me for years. Why is it common to the point of being almost universal for people to refer to teams they root for as “we”? I’ve always saved that for teams I actually played on. It doesn’t really bother me but it does puzzle me, and you won’t see me doing it.

    Nightnmare scenario. An early deficit and Gasser headed for a short start.

    It hasn’t taken long to illustrate the challenges of having a lot of games with no off days. A B level starter with only 3 of the 7 relievers fresh (including none of the top three) could easily be a problem if the starter runs into trouble early.. Winning a game with that pitching combination usually will require more than a run or two, but the Brewers offense has been trouble producing more than that lately. Lodolo mesmerized the Brewers last week with 6 Ks in 4 IP. Hopefully the Brewers will see the ball better against him tonight Gasser is coming off his best start of the year;. It does help when your stakes younto a seven run lead early in the game, but maybe that outing will give him some confidence coming into tonight. The Brewers need several good innings from him.

    Wrong thread

    They’re in a box whether they announce the starters or not. Drohan is actually listed for Wednesday but they could always change it. I would like to know what the plan would be if they need a pitcher very early in any of these games, either because the pitcher is getting shelled or comes up with an injury. Like it or not, Gasser and Sproat might have to take one of those 10 run starts if they can’t get outs. There aren’t enough bodies out there to start using them in the second inning. If absolutely necessary Anderson would have to come in and go as far as he can.

    I did not say that was a good AB, but I am saying that it was not a situation where he should have been taking no matter what. There is a difference between a bad AB and a bad result. That pitch was not “off the plate”. It was clearly a strike and not particularly close to the bottom or the outside part of the strike zone. Against a LHP that might be where he was looking for a pitch to drive to the opposite field. You make it sound so easy to just poke out a sac fly. Like I said if he had hit that pitch down the left field line and driven in two runs, I don’t think anyone would have been saying “Boy, did he get lucky, he shouldn’t have been swinging at that pitch” I’m as upset as anyone about these two games and the current state of the offense and the pitching staff, especially the bullpen. But, let’s at least get the facts straight and base our opinions on them. When you say the pitcher had just walked 3 guys and that the pitch Bauer swung at was out of the strike zone, your opinion loses a lot of credibility.

    The 2 games the Brewers won against the Phillies and the one they almost won (horseshoes anyone?) against the Braves were started by Misiorowski and Harrison. When those guys start the Brewers have a good chance to be in the game. But it still takes runs to win, often more than 2 Unlike some here, I am not looking at the playoffs. A lot can change between now and then. But I am, and have been, concerned about what’s going to happen in the next two weeks when 2/3 of the games will be started by others with only a 7 man bullpen backing them up and no days off to reset. The way to,win these games is by scoring a lot of runs, and this team cannot do that consistently now. Just looking at tomorrow, who comes in if Gasser gets into early trouble? And who finishes if they have a 2-1 lead after 5 innings? The Reds have a generally weak offense, but they just scored 19:runs over the weekend against the Pirates. They also started scoring in the final game of the series last week once they got to the Brewers B bullpen, some of the pitchers they will be facing tomorrow..

    For the record that pitcher had just walked one guy.. The pitch was in the strike zone in a spot where it could have been driven to left field. Unfortunately he popped it up. If he had hit it down the left field line and driven in the winning runs I don’t think you would have complained about him swinging at it.
  15. BruisedCrew
    You get beat when you have hitters with runners on base swinging at head high fastballs. The Cubs bullpen was nails because they didn’t issue many walks. They made the Brewers put the ball in play. They also made the Brewers pitchers work and were able to take advantage of the weak spots in the Brewers bullpen. Maybe this series will prove to be one of those that happen from time to time. Or it could be the start of a slide that will quickly turn the division race that some people thought was almost a foregone conclusion into a dogfight. The last two weekends the Brewers have lost 3 out of 4 games started by Misiorowski and Harrison and they pitched well in all of them. But the offense and the bullpen both failed miserably.. This is more than a 1 game or 1 series issue.
  16. BruisedCrew
    I don’t know what they can do in the short term to help, much less fix, the bullpen. But the division lead being all or mostly gone by the All Star break is a real possibility. Maybe a home series with the Reds will help, but the Brewers can’t hit anyone right now and it’s hard to see how they’ll cover nine innings with Gasser, Sproat, and Drohan starting.
  17. BruisedCrew
    This is exactly how the Brewers lucked out in the last game against the Reds. The comments then were that bad teams find ways to lose. With the Reds coming back here for 4 against the Brewers dilapidated pitching staff we might find out if the Brewers in their current state are any better than a bad team.
  18. BruisedCrew
    The Cubs won 2 out of 3 against the Brewers top 3 starters while putting trash on the mound themselves. They have exposed the weaknesses in both the Brewers pitching and hitting. If you think the Cubs aren’t going home thinking they are the best team in the division you aren’t paying attention. They endured their rough spot and now are ready to make hay while the Brewers go through theirs.
  19. BruisedCrew
    These next two weeks are going to be brutal.
  20. BruisedCrew
    Unfortunately, the league straightened out after that one that what he did wasn’t legal.
  21. BruisedCrew
    The end is near.
  22. BruisedCrew
    A question about extra innings. Is a team allowed to decline the free runner at second and put him at first instead? Then hope for a 2 run HR.
  23. BruisedCrew
    Like last weekend they’re talking about how this series has a playoff vibe. Maybe that’s why the Brewers hitters are choking so badly.
  24. BruisedCrew
    Just to rub salt in the wounds, with nobody on base both Chourio and Turang produced results that would have been useful in their previous at bats. No question these hitters are now pressing.
  25. BruisedCrew
    I agree, but fans overreacting to the crack of the bat is universal so saying that Cubs fans are especially ignorant is misguided. They should be criticized instead for being insufferable jack…rabbits.
