Talk about going down with a whimper.
-
I’m curious to see if they put Vaughn at 3rd and slide Joey to 2nd. Might be giving Turang a full day off.
-
How quick we are to forget the Brad Nelson 0-21 to start 2009, never to be heard from again.
-
Greg Jones at 2B is something else. Glad this is hopefully the only time we see it.
-
I found out I needed glasses after missing an entire bucket in BP at my first Babe Ruth practice when I was 13. Coach told me to read the words on the bucket. When I couldn’t, he said don’t come back until I had been to the eye Dr 😂
-
Just goofing around. A couple of my teammates and I back in legion ball had to play down on Junior legion for a game because of some event that had several players missing. We all hit opposite and with wood. It was a hell of a time.
-
So, 600 Brewers fans? I’m still shocked at how empty that stadium is most nights.
-
Anybody but Megill, Uribe, or Ashby. Those 3 guys are absolutely needed down the stretch. Not worth pushing them today
-
I wonder what the most team hits in a game with only 4 batters recording a hit is? I don’t think the brewers are anywhere close, but it’s interesting have 10 hits by only 4 guys.
-
The good ol’ youth baseball tournament 5 games in 2 days strategy. Only start him once they change the Win rule to not have to go 5 innings as the starter.
-
I’d consider rolling out Ashby for the 9th. Walker, then two lefties due up.
-
Miz having a “bad day” is 7 innings, 3 ER, and 11 K’s. Sanchez’s bad day yesterday was 3.1 innings, 9 ER, and 1 K. He’s simply on a different level.
-
Miz going 7 is big. Should have a ton of options in game 2, and still have some left for tomorrow if they can shut the door and end this in 9.
-
Yeli sure needed this day. Hopefully a sign of things to come!!
-
It was insane to let him in the 4th. Could’ve hit Vaughn and had him now have 2 against lefties with RISP and still have 3 guys on the bench for the rest of the game. Especially when you’re probably not hitting for your 8/9 spots today given the defense.
-
And, you’d now have a 2nd AB for Vaughn with RISP vs a lefty.
-
No doubt it is right now. But that’s why you play him every day right now. Took him a good month to get going in AAA, adjusting to a new level. Even harder to do so in MLB. If he’s still OPSing .550 in mid August, I’ll be quite worried. But I think that’s why you deal with it now, with the presumption that wont be the case with enough time to adjust.
-
I think we need to give Pratt more than a few weeks to adjust to MLB pitching before we doom him from being able to contribute in 3+ months.
-
Not really. You don’t need to burn 2 guys as you can put Bauers in OF. Guys you’d normally consider hitting for in a big spot in Ortiz and Pratt are sort of untouchable today with the lack of defensive options beyond them. With that, I think it moves up the timeline to consider pinch hitting.
-
Why not hit Vaughn for Frelick?
-
No - 2 out of last 3.
-
He doesn’t look tired, velocity is still right there, and location is not suffering. I think it’s just big league hitters making big league adjustments. Miz came out swinging this year, he’s just now getting punched back. Now he needs to counterpunch, which I have no doubt that he (along with Hook/Henderson) will.
-
Start the game with not scoring from 3rd with 1 out, giving up a HR on a Miz Cutter again, and misplaying a fly ball. And this is the game they’re geared up to win today. Yikes.
-
Do any of the sites track team percentages of stranding runners at 3B with less than 2 outs? The Brewers feel so pathetic at this lately, but I’d love some context to know if the league as whole is just as bad, or if they truly do stink as much it seems.

Luis Lara Called Up By Brewers To Make MLB Debut
DonBarclay replied to Ewitkows1's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
So Hamilton to IL and Jones is up. Assuming it’s a minimum IL stay, I think they just roll with Jones until after the break?
