The home plate ump didn’t give Burnes either the inside or outside corner. If he does that all day on both sides it will be a long game.
-
I like seeing Urias instead of Vogelbach in the 2 spot. I blame Counsell for Vogelbach’s injury. If he had him in the 7 spot ahead of JBJ and the pitcher, you would never have to worry about him getting hurt trying to score on a hit.

Glad to get out of that series with 2 wins. Losing a series to a team like that would be like a PGA Tour golfer making a bogey on a par 5. Not a disaster but you’re losing a stroke or two to the field.

Williams is making me nervous.

Get a couple more here and this team might quit.

Yeah, this is good. I thought infield fly right away off the bat, and that SHOULD have been routine given where VanMeter started. It just gets tricky with shifts because "ordinary effort" changes a whole lot depending on starting position. That will be called an infield fly 100 times out of 100. The frustrating thing about it is that when the ball is hit to the right side, it would be really tough for the fielder to trap the ball and get a DP on it because of the long throw to third. There has probably never been an infield fly call as controversial as that one in the Braves wild card playoff game a few years ago that they were talking about on the telecast. That one was much farther into the outfield.

Why bunt with a guy who is obviously a terrible bunter but has a fighting chance to get a hit if he swings away, as he already showed.
-
Failing to convert these scoring chances really hurts in a game where one or two runs might be enough to win. Smith continues to baffle the Brewers just like he did when he was with Miami.
-
The Saturday 3:10 start times are because Fox often does regional telecasts at that time.
-
Probably some hullabaloo with the "re-opening day" stuff, combined with the Bucks being in the Eastern Conference finals. It’s because of the Reopening Day. The time was set long before anyone knew the Bucks would be playing at home on Friday.
-
I guess LePay is too busy talking about keeping his Wisconsin football spotting boards to keep track of the outs. I thought maybe I had dozed off and missed one.
-
Pretty weak effort by the RF on Urias’ liner.
-
Torn calf muscle for Vogelbach?
-
I’d really like to ask Counsell why he is hitting Vogelbach second instead of Urias, who’s a better hitter and faster runner. Especially since he usually seems to like alternating righties and lefties as much as possible. But now he has 3 lefties at the top of the order.
-
Is Yelich headed back to the IL?
-
The Brewers offense is the perfect tonic for a team trying to break a 17 game losing streak while starting a pitcher with a 5 plus ERA.
-
I acknowledge the role of run prevention, but the Brewers essentially need HRs to have offense adequate enough to produce wins. HRs produce 29% of runs (apart from runners on base) while only 21% of DBacks offense. Watching the 2nd inning, the DBacks got 3 runs off 6 hits, all of which are singles. The Brewers have had three run innings, but I can't remember the last time that happened where a HR wasn't involved. The Brewers need for HRs because of their low BA and OBP, and the DBacks horrible record are completely unrelated items. You can (and should) make the point that the Brewers need the HR ball to produce runs without ever mentioning the DBacks.
-
If the Brewers win this game it’s going to come long after I have retired for the night. The DBacks had to win again some time, and it looks like tonight is the night. Hopefully the Brewers can bounce back to win the series.
-
When you get good pitching a HR or 2 may be all it takes to win. Runs are runs no matter how they come, and the DBacks statistically have a better offense than the Brewers. The Brewers weak offense and Anderson on the mound may just be the formula the DBacks need to break their streak. Yes, that is my point although I could have said it more clearly. We are statistically worse in every category (except walks) yet have 20 more wins. Essentially our chances of winning are based on assuming pitching is above average and we hit HRs. And my point is that the Brewers have 20 more wins than the DBacks because they are much better at preventing runs, not because they hit more HRs. The DBacks have scored slightly more runs than the Brewers but they are allowing about 1.7 more runs per game. Consider this astonishing stat. The DBacks are 1-39 in games in which they have scored 4 or fewer runs. By comparison the Brewers are 14-28 when scoring 4 or fewer runs. That disparity can only be explained by better pitching, not because the Brewers hit more HRs.

I still disagree with batting the slow footed Vogelbach second instead of Urias, who gets on base as often, or a little more often, and is much faster.
-
They have lost a couple of games lately in which they blew big early leads. Then yesterday they had a big comeback against the Dodgers that fell just short.
-
As a 9 year old I was at a Sunday doubleheader at County Stadium in which the Phillies lost their 23rd straight and then broke the streak by beating the Braves in the second game.
-
Two good wins to stop the bleeding of the 5 game skid. If you had told me on Thursday that the Brewers would go 2-2 in this series, I would have taken it in a second coming off that ugly Reds series.
-
I don’t get this batting order. If you have Wong, Adames, and Urias available, why put a slow, bases clogger like Vogelbach second? I would think something like Urias second with Vogelbach seventh would make more sense. With nobody resting, I would go: Wong, Urias, Yelich, Garcia, Narvaez, Adames, Vogelbach, Bradley, Pitcher, or something similar. Without looking, I'm pretty sure hes had a solid OBP lately and has had good at bats. But a big part of the point is that I would choose a faster base runner over a slower one if their hitting and OBP are reasonably equal. Urias has been a better hitter, had a better OBP, and is significantly better as a base runner than Vogelbach. I would put him in the 2 spot over Vogelbach, and it wouldn’t be a close decision. It gives you the added benefit of not having 3 left handed hitters in a row.
