Top of the order to start the 8th. Let’s bat around.
-
Reyes will be down when Wong comes back. But could still use another infield bat who could fill in at 2B/3B. Could use another batter to replace our MVP Tough, but fair…unfortunately right now.

Won the first of the four versus Cincinnati before the All-Star Break. A series win or sweep going into the break would be a welcome change from recent seasons.
-
Garcia’s home run swing showing up just at the right time.
-
Suter coming in to a game to start an inning is a Raptor. Starting with runners on base like in extra innings, and he’s an Iguanodon.
-
Urias’ defensive play loomed large in the third inning. Got another zero for Houser.
-
Houser is getting the big punch outs when he needs them. But a nice 1-2-3 inning or two would be good for his arm and pitching deeper into this game.
-
Sometimes it’s better to be lucky than good.
-
Pitched out of it for a zero on the board. Could use the offense putting up some early runs in return.
-
Big win after not sealing the deal in Game 1 this afternoon.
-
Urias having a nice day at the plate this Wednesday.

I understand the thinking: lefty-versus-lefty makes sense. The problem is Suter is not a hard throwing strikeout pitcher. Additionally, the automatic runner on second immediately takes away one of Suter's advantages: deception by working quickly out of the windup. Also Suter actually had a 7BB:29SO ratio versus righties compared to a 7BB:12SO ratio versus lefties so far in 2021. So a lefty makes sense, but does Suter? Love the guy, but even the armchair managers were getting this one right. Obtaining a late-inning left-handed reliever before the deadline seems like a priority for Stearns & Co.
-
Need at least one more late-inning reliever.

Would be glad to take a Yelich walk here.....or a HBP!
-
Christian Yelich - First Half 2018 (through All Star Game) / 2021 (through July 5) G 82 / 53 PA 357 / 215 H 93 / 41 2B 16 / 7 3B 2 / 1 HR 11 / 5 BB 33 / 45 K 83 / 61 BA .292 / .244 OBP .364 / .405 SLG .459 / .387 OPS .823 / .792 BAbip .363 / .350 There seems to be some similarity. Though it looks like Yelich was having a bit more success in 2018 getting hits and slugging, while in 2021 he is more successful in drawing walks and in his BB/K ratio. Edited to add BAbip stat.

Maybe Gamel is seeing the ball well from Burnes tonight. Two very hard hits, though one ended up in the 8-3 double play.
-
BrewCrewBall with a pretty good writeup on Devin Williams' performances so far in 2021: https://www.brewcrewball.com/2021/6/30/22556902/milwaukee-brewers-devin-williams-has-not-been-the-same-in-2021 Breaks down some of the trends that we're seeing in walks/control of pitches and the potential for lack of effectiveness in the setup role. Won't surprise many if the Brewers chase another setup bullpen arm at the trade deadline.
-
A bunch of big scoring innings during the last week or so. Very enjoyable.
-
Indeed. If this is the start of 2019 Keaton showing up and hitting #7, that’s a very deep lineup.
-
Going to need the long relievers tonight with Anderson exiting early.
-
Three-game sweep at home by the Reds. Seems worse than losing four in Philadelphia earlier this season.
-
Piña has at least a chance to run into one and knock it out of the park. Or even a gap double. Even with the struggles this year, it’s a much better choice.
-
One can get used to 5-run innings by the offense.
