    Counsell can explain himself, but once the game was tied he had to think about the defense for the 11th inning. I think he planned to use Tellez if they were still behind, but switched once the score was tied.

    If you’re thinking Wiemer should have bunted, my guess is that the chances that he would lay down a successful bunt against that pitcher are next to zero.
  3. BruisedCrew
    I was almost wondering if it would make sense for Turang to bunt. He got the functional equivalent.

    Way to go with the pitch Willy.

    Two out runs have killed the Brewers all day.
  6. BruisedCrew
    Bad Williams today.
  7. BruisedCrew
    It would depend on where the ball bounced and how quickly the fielder recovered. That was pretty shallow and Turang was just rounding second when the ball was caught.

    Ordinarily, I feel pretty good about Williams being in the game in the top of the ninth, but after his last outing against the twins, and the way the ball is flying today, I’m a little nervous about it.

    Cubs win, but it was against a lousy team
  10. BruisedCrew
    There’s what Adames can do when he goes with the ball where it’s pitched instead of pulling off everything.
  11. BruisedCrew
    The ball may be flying out of the park today but you still have to hit it. And the Brewers haven’t done much of that since Contreras HR.

    I’m a lot more irritated with Burnes surrendering gopher balls than the home plate umpire’s ball-strike calls.
  13. BruisedCrew
    The maddening thing is that he has shown that he can drive the ball to the opposite field, including hitting the ball out of the park. There he had a low outside pitch well off the plate that he should have taken, but if he had to swing he could have tried to drive it to right. By trying to pull it there was almost nothing he could do but roll into an easy DP.
  14. BruisedCrew
    Do you think in a system like that teams would routinely challenge early count pitches early in the game? If so, I’m afraid we would be back to 4 hour games.
  15. BruisedCrew
    Adames drives me nuts when he tries to pull outside pitches and rolls over them.
  16. BruisedCrew
    He clearly made it in time, but someone might want to remind Contreras that when there is a chance for outs on the bases behind you it’s a good idea to hustle across the plate.

    I don’t see how anyone can be sitting in the sun today. The seats for our 10 pack are in the sun until about 3 PM, and when it’s really hot and sunny I’ll sit further back in the shade until the shade reaches our seats. Fortunately between night games, 3 PM games, and early season games with the roof closed I don’t have to do that too often. But I can guarantee I wouldn’t be sitting in the sun today.
  18. BruisedCrew
    Might not want to watch it anyway. Burnes is off to a rough start.
  19. BruisedCrew
    Yeah, if you exclude the games they’ve won, the Cubs haven’t done that well. I’m not sure what point you’re trying to make. By any objective measure the Cubs have been very good over the last month. They’ve beaten up on bad teams and won 3 of 4 against the Reds and won 3 game series against the Braves and Jays. Maybe they can’t keep it up, but they have been trending in a good direction.
  20. BruisedCrew
    True, but since July 20 they are 20-9 and the Brewers are 15-14. So, in their last 29 games they have gained 5 games.

    The subject of catcher’s interference reminds me of an obscure rule that I didn’t know about until about 10 years ago when I first saw it come in to play. The rule basically allows the batting team to “decline” the interference and take the result of the play. The interference does not immediately result in a dead ball. The time I saw this the batter hit a weak grounder that scored a runner from third while the batter was thrown out. The manager of the hitting team had to decide if he wanted to exchange the out for the run or give the hitter a chance to do better.

    I will be out of the country so I won’t have to listen to it if the race does come down to that last weekend.
  23. BruisedCrew
    “Only need to split”. Based on the dogfights in the series here around the 4th, splitting 6 games against the Cubs is not going to be easy. Their lineup is impressive and they have some pitchers who seem to have success against the Brewers. I’m expecting the race to come down to that series the last weekend.
  24. BruisedCrew
    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.

    My initial reaction to the deals, which hasn’t changed from this week’s games, is that the Brewers effectively stood Pat while making a few minor deals that they could try to tout as helping the team. On rhe surface it looks like they didn’t give away anyone who figured in furure plans and did nothing to improve the dreadful offense. The Brewers hope for winning the division is pinned on Woodruff and Miley coming back and pitching effectively and for the bullpen to be nearly perfect when they have a chance to win a game 2-1 or 3-2. IMHO the offense is what it is and is never going to produce 4 or 5 runs a game on any consistent basis.
