    I’m guessing he will be at DH more against LHP with Voit at 1B. It’s just that the Brewers (happily) haven’t faced many LH starters so far. I’m sure that’s going to change given how poor the Brewers are against them.
  2. BruisedCrew
    Not the start the Brewers needed from Burnes with the bottom of the rotation coming up the next 3 days.

    Putting Contreras at DH against a RHP takes Winker out. He might see the difference in offense to be minimal to nonexistent and would rather give Contreras a real day off. Then he has Contreras on the bench to use as a PH if the opponent brings in a lefty reliever. I’ll favor Counsell’s judgment on this one.

    I see Reynolds is out on paternity leave.

    I love a third baseman with an accurate rocket arm. Get Taylor and/or Frelick back and keep Anderson at third.

    I think the ump was fooled by Wiemer’s weird twisting of his body. It makes him look like he’s swinging, even though he’s holding the bat back. ETA i was reading through the game thread and see that you said basically the same thing a little later in the exchange.

    A 5 to 4 win completed in 2 1/2 hours. A pleasant night at the ball park.

    Sounds like Butler is OK. That’s all the Heat seems to need to embarrass the Bucks.

    First game of the season for us tonight. Hoping to improve on last year’s 2-9 mark.

    Both can be true, but the Brewers play is much more responsible for this loss than the umpiring, so I’ll focus on that. The offense has been pretty mediocre since the opening series against the Mets and the pitching can’t be great every night.
  11. BruisedCrew
    We can complain about the umpires but the Brewers bullpen hasn’t done the job tonight and the offense hasn’t produced much.

    I think it’s more fun having runners on base where you can anticipate something happening than scoring on solo HRs. I’m

    A good example of sending a runner with 2 outs that might have been held at third otherwise. Miller was just wounding third as the LF grabbed the ball and a stronger throw would have nailed him.

    Bad Freddy returns.

    I blame him for straying too far off base on a ball that was blocked right in front of the catcher. All the catcher had to to was make a throw on the fly to second base, which I would expect a big league catcher to do. Taking an RBI opportunity from Tellez is a big mistake considering the relatively small value of advancing to third with 2 outs.
  16. BruisedCrew
    Big blunder Willy.
  17. BruisedCrew
    Just the latest example of why I never spend a lot of time focusing on what to do with too many players. In the off-season we thought the Brewers had great depth in the starting rotation and outfield and that depth has been eroded already. I’ll leave it to the people who follow the minor leagues closely to suggest what the best moves are, but if Frelick is a real prospect it would seem that moving Mitchell and/or Woodruff to the 60 day IL and adding Frelick to the 40 man roster would make sense. With no mention of Taylor that I’ve heard for weeks he can’t be close to returning.

    My biggest tip for people coming with kids and who are interested in saving money is to take maximum advantage of the carry in policy. Because we live in town we generally just go for the game and don’t spend much on concessions. In my old age I’ve gotten lazier about getting a bag checked when we enter, and if I feel like having a snack I just pay for it. But before they tightened up the policy some after COVID I would bring in a small soft sided cooler with small bottles of water or soda and a bag of peanuts and we would be pretty much set. If we feel like a hot dog or brat we buy them. I see a lot of people who spend significantly more on just concessions than we spend on tickets and parking. We love our 10 pack seats in row 1 of the terrace boxes in section 424 (just to the left of home plate). I think they provide a much better overall view of the action than many seats in lower levels that cost 2 or 3 times more. Plus, the front row seats have a little more legroom and cup holders.

    That was sad, but I think you’d have a hard time arguing that using Yelich or Tellez there wasn’t a higher percentage move than letting Wiemer hit.
  20. BruisedCrew
    His 2 hits against a soft tossing lefty don’t necessarily match up with a hard throwing righty. I would have been pretty upset if he hadn’t put in Yelich or Tellez in that spot.
  21. BruisedCrew
    Regardless, winning 10 of 13 in MLB is never easy, and the Mariners, Rangers, and Dodgers are all playoff contenders. The Rangers are 12-6., including winning 3 of 4 in Houston.
  22. BruisedCrew
    I wouldn’t scoff at what the Cubs are doing. They have won 10 of their last 13 while playing series against the Rangers, Mariners, Dodgers, and A’s.
  23. BruisedCrew
    Ugh. Bush in a game where either walks or homers are fatal. Let me know when it’s over.
  24. BruisedCrew
    Williams must be down for the day.
  25. BruisedCrew
    It would be tempting to let Strzelecki start the ninth.
