They have starters the next two days who consistently cover 6 or 7 innings so they can afford to use a lot of pitchers tonight.
-
At least most of the time.
-
Not the start the Brewers needed with a taxed bullpen, a struggling offense, and two All Star pitchers coming the next two days.
-
Barring another injury or something I don’t think Hoskins will be ready before September 1 Then he will be a candidate to be the extra position player added to the roster. I wouldn’t be surprised to see both Hoskins and Bauer on the roster with Siegler the odd man out. No need to worry about it now as something might happen that makes it a non issue
-
It’s still possible to talk about the game and upcoming series and their impact on the playoff race instead of totally off the field issues like the financial structure of MLB. It is also possible to start a separate thread if you think that subject hasn’t already been covered.
-
It’s very disappointing that the front office didn’t recognize the hole an injury to Ortiz would cause and pick up a good fielding major league SS to use as a backup.
-
Maybe someone should start a game thread for tonight. This isn’t it.
-
For the record I will be applauding Adames when he is introduced as we put our 9-0 season record on the line tomorrow night. Then I hope to be cheering more loudly when he strikes out. Hopefully he won’t pull an Orlando Arcia on us.

The Brewers need to get the offense going again to take some pressure off the pitchers. In the last 7 games of the road trip they only scored 27 runs, and 4 of those were in extra innings and aided by the free runners, and 4 came at the expense of the sacrificial lamb Counsell’ put out on Monday to save his bullpen. Of those runs, only 12 were scored in the first 7 innings of the game. It puts a lot of,pressure on the pitchers if they feel like they have to be near perfect to give the team a chance to win.
-
Every stat about the Giants has to be considered in the context of their home park which has to be close to the most pitcher friendly in MLB. The Brewers get something of a bad break having to face both Webb and Ray in this series. And because they are facing the Brewers they will both probably miss the Cubs series.
-
They gained a game in 5 games and lost the opportunity to pick up any more ground without getting help.
-
Now Quintana gets to bookend this series by being asked to go at least 6 again tomorrow to protect the bullpen.
-
Then don’t read it. If you’re looking for great insights you’re not going to get them on game threads. I don’t find it insightful when half a dozen people post “BRICE” when he hits a HR. To me these threads are for saying the kinds of things you might hear sitting at a bar watching a game.
-
Now, here’s the key question? Did the Brewers DESERVE to win today? Does that program take into account how many free runners a team hands out? When Uribe came out after getting out of the 8th inning imagined Murphy imitating Lou Brown when Willie Mays Hayes made his basket catch: ”Way to get out of it. Don’t ever f****g do that again”.
-
Honestly, who gives a crap.
-
I posted in the Monday game thread how I expected to feel with the possible results. Today’s win is the difference between “OK” and “concerned.”. Those 2 extra games of cushion look awfully big. Now on to the next stage of the 18 day march.
-
Sure, but why do you care?
-
This is what can happen when you’re relying on five different relievers to cover the game. One doesn’t have it and it screws up the whole thing.
-
Great, a leadoff walk to set up the heart of their order.
-
How many innings in high leverage situations like Sunday? But he did the job today and now the baton passes. The Brewers, even with their generally good pitching, are just 1-14 this year when scoring exactly 2 runs. It usually takes more than 2 to win and I expect it will today too. 6 runs in the last 24 innings. That isn’t all just bad luck.
-
Asking for 4 shutout innings from the bullpen is really a lot when one has to come from Anderson in a high leverage situation.
-
Seventh straight game of weak hitting. Need 4 clean innings from the bullpen to pull this,out. That may be asking too much.
-
I see Tucker is back in the lineup today. After clearing his head for a few days he would be my “pick to click”. It appears that the wind today will be out of the northeast, which would be across the outfield from left to right. A help on balls hit to RF. Advantage Cubs and their LH power hitters. Even more imperative than usual for Priester to induce grounders.
-
On the subject of the 2024 Twins I came across this item that adds to my skepticism about the significance (if not the validity) of Deserved Wins. Unlucky 2024 Twins IMHO, measures like this and xBA that look at exit velocity and launch angle but ignore where a ball is hit relative to defensive positioning are seriously flawed. But, if they provide an excuse and consolation for some fans when their team loses I guess they have some value
-
Maybe we should ask Brock for his comments about how comfortable a team should feel with a 5 game lead over another team on August 21. A Twins fan would have an interesting perspective on that. At the time they may have been more focused on the division race and not so much the wild card race bubbling behind them. But they provided the most recent example of how much can happen in 5 weeks and how having one of the best records in MLB for a few months after a bad start does not preclude a rough finish.
