Really made him work that inning. 🙄 Worst case scenario for the Brewers is burning up the top relievers in a loss. But, between the botched scoring chances and Burnes’ rocky outing that could be the situation they are in.

The Brewers have a knack for making even some of their scoring innings disappointing Second and third with nobody out and the number 3 hitter up, and nothing.

It can depend on how long you can make that salary and how smart you are with it.

Bummer for Bummer.

OK Willy. No cheap singles to right. Swing as hard as you can for the 3 run HR.

“Nicely timed mound visit” What did he say “Hey Corbin, as long as you’re giving up rockets, could you get them to hit one right at somebody.”

At least the Brewers might not have to worry about who will be called in to protect a lead in the seventh inning.

That’s why I was hoping the Brewers would be willing to part with one of their load of “can’t miss” prospects as part of a deal for someone who has already established that he can hit MLB pitching. No idea if that was even a possibility.

Run prevention? Wiemer should have taken the easier out at second after letting the ball drop.

Yes, as is Ramirez.

So much for the pitching being at full strength.

I have a feeling Jimenez is going to remind me this weekend why I was hoping the Brewers could swing a deal for him.

Cubs and Reds both up 6-0.

I guess for the Brewers that’s what one run feels like.

At least A run. Let Kopech off the hook.

You mean like the Cubs or Reds who both scored 3 in the top of the first tonight? I asked my Magic 8 Ball and it said “Don’t Count On It”.

This is interesting message board banter, but IMHO it’s a little pointless because the circumstances can change tomorrow based on what happens tonight. Or it can change by Sunday if several pitchers are used both today and tomorrow. The opinions expressed here will change quickly if the alternatives don’t have immediate success. If the Brewers need a reliever in the 7th inning tonight with a small lead or a tie, I would use someone else, like Milner (if he hasn’t been used earlier) or Uribe. But I wouldn’t consider it “pulling the plug” on Peguero, even temporarily.

I would state this a little differently. The old adage is that a successful team should play about .500 against the good teams and beat up on the bad teams. Part of the challenge in evaluating this depends on what exactly you consider a “good team”. Some times you see this based on teams over and under ..500, but I don’t think that’s the best way to do it because it lumps the average teams with the very best and very worst teams. I took a look at how the Brewers have done against the 9 teams that are completely out of playoff contention (Mets, Tigers, Royals, A’s, Pirates, Cards, Nats, White Sox, and Rockies). The Brewers are 23-18 against those teams, which I think everyone agree is not “beating up on them” Against all other teams (the “good” teams and the average teams still in playoff contention) the Brewers are a decent 39-36, but against the best teams (ones currently with better records than the Brewers) they are 15-19. Against the very best teams in the NL (Braves, Dodgers, Phillies, and Giants) the Brewers are 6-13, which is clearly not good. That 10-3 record against the Reds is the main thing keeping the Brewers in the position they are in. It will be interesting to see what the Brewers pitching can do against the Dodgers and Rangers, two of the very best teams and offenses in MLB. So, as a conclusion, I would say that the Brewers have done OK against the middle of the road teams, not very well against the best teams, and not as well as they should have done against the worst teams.

So, your idea of fun is going back and commenting on other posters in game comments. You can post how you want but I’m telling you how it makes you look when you do that.

I usually don’t like doing this because I accept that posters blow off steam during a game and I contribute my share. But if someone is going to go back and respond to those comments, then don’t make them yourself.

What a gift. Was there any doubt that Adames would try to pull a sweeper 450 feet instead of going with one to right field.

Even while getting his hits (mainly on bloopers and seeing eye grounders) Yelich has not looked good the last few days

Who is available for the 10th today?

Then I guess I shouldn’t hope for more than 6 straight Ks.

Another example of why you done see many bunts. Of course, it took super athlete Suter to flag down that one. 🙄
