When did they stop closing the roof partially to avoid the shadows? I am guessing they stopped because the offense is garbage so might as well help the pitchers? Hitters can't hit in perfect conditions.

[MrTPlush]

I can't even count how many times Scooter Gennett has preferred the out at first over the lead runner. I really just don't get it...

 

Nice to see Counsell show a little anger towards a player. If it was Roenicke he would still be picking his butt in his little corner.

[trwi7]

It's really a shame the Brewers never made Peralta throw his changeup in the minors. He had a decent one in Appleton but rarely threw it and now that he's in the big leagues, lefties crush him because he only has a fastball that runs over the plate and a slider.

KKKKKKKRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRUUUUUUUUUUUUUSSSSSSSSSSSSSSHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Not a bad line: 2 2 2 5

Was Counsell getting after Gennett?

 

How do you NOT turn 2 there? Bill is right (for the most part): "They just can't get it right today, can they?"

 

This has been going on almost all season, with intermittent good play. Bad defense, bad fundamentals, etc etc.. and the beat goes on..

[yfinn6]

That's like a three hopper to 3B and the guy beats it out.. here comes the big hit that will blow the game open. This, friends, is how you lose 90+ games.

[phnxcrew]

it's hard to see peralta as part of the future at this point. Why can't this guy put it together? 6 er to this god awful team

[AKCheesehead]

I wish I could see this game. Anyone watching, how does Narveson look?

[MrTPlush]

This team is absolutely brain dead. What a bunch of idiots.

[yfinn6]

Segura.. seriously man, what are you doing? There could be about two or three more errors in this game by the Brewers.

[reillymcshane]

You know, this club has so many mental things that don't qualify as 'errors'. How many extra outs are we going to give away? I know every team has this kind of stuff, but it seems to be rampant. Is it bad baseball IQ? I mean it's not like they haven't been told to do things the right way.

About 3 years, give or take.

[1992casey]

I've been at a couple of games this year where the roof was partially closed. At a couple of other day games, it was left open. I think the difference might be that it's closed for full sun but left open if it's overcast.

I wouldn't go that far, but for a guy who can throw as hard as he does consistently through the course of a game, his below average strikeout numbers considering his velocity just goes to show how important command always has been and always will be when it comes to facing big league hitters.

 

We had two former Brewers in Estrada and Fiers who threw only in the 88-90 range, yet were able to strikeout more batters both because they had better command overall and secondary pitches they could count on to get swings and misses.

 

Obviously you'd rather any pitcher could throw 95-98 consistently vs 88-90, but big league hitters see high velocity so often tat if those pitches are left over the plate a lot, they'll get hit hard and especially if hitter isn't concerned much about secondary pitches.
