2017-06-16: Padres (M. Diaz) at Brewers (Guerra) 7:10 PM CDT [Brewers win, 6-5, 10 innings, Thames walkoff]

Wonder how long it is going to take for Brinson to settle in and not look overmatched?

 

I don't know why some prospects look totally overmatched when they come up and others like Cody Bellinger just look like stars from Day 1.

 

Either way, small sample for Lewis but should give us pause before selling our already MLB proven young outfielders.

Exactly why I tell my high school kids to not bother with pick offs to 2B. Too many moving parts. You're more likely to throw it to CF then you are to get a guy out.

[jerichoholicninja]

So what happened to that nasty 2 seamer that Diaz was throwing earlier this season? None of his pitches look special tonight.

Hot Broxton is good Broxton.

[markedman5]

Boom!

[liveforoctober]

I like this Keon. This Keon should stay.

[markedman5]

That a boy Brinson!

[DuWayne Steurer]

When Broxton is off, he's one of the worst hitters in the league. When he's hot, he's like "player of the month" on fire.

[adambr2]

Awesome Broxton!!

[pacopete4]

Brinson finally flashing some fun!

That's what makes his skill set so tough to give up on, especially being young(ish) and very controlled. You know how good he can be when he's right.

 

I don't know what he needs to do to cut down on the only thing really holding him back, his K rate. I read somewhere he's actually not a bad ball swinger but swings and misses at more pitches in the zone than anyone else in baseball.

[adambr2]

Crap. It's like a team initiation ritual to get thrown out at home on the contact play. Although with Guerra on deck if he doesn't score there he probably doesn't score at all anyway.

[pacopete4]

Man does that stink.

[jerichoholicninja]

You have got to be kidding me.

Orlando Arcia + <2 outs + Man on 3rd = no runs every time

 

Dude couldn't hit a fly ball when we need it to save his life.

Arcia has a career .389 average and .722 slugging with a man on 3rd and less than 2 out. Just saying .

Ya, not sure why there's this obsession with fly balls in those situations. Just do something good, like get a hit.

This is where your dislike shows true. Stats show otherwise. Plus he expanded his zone because the pitcher is on deck in that situation.

That's cool you can think that. Short term memory says he doesn't follow his career norms. Or at least every time I seem to be watching.

 

On another note nice to see Thames and Broxton look good. They were starting to get really depressing to watch.

Yuni doesn't approve!

Pirates in the middle of a bullpen meltdown vs the Cubs. Oh well.

[DuWayne Steurer]

On a side note, Uecker seems to be in really rare form tonight.

[adambr2]

Damn, some real nice contact that inning, just nothing to show for it.

[pacopete4]

Kind of wanted to see Guerra head back out there. Give him until a runner gets on.

[Lathund]

Love the Drake.
