2017-06-27: Brewers (Guerra) at Reds (Adleman) 6:10 PM CDT [Brewers lose, 8-6]

[wildcat83]

Man, I thought that was out when he hit it

[pacopete4]

You don't deserve to win giving up 8.

[markedman5]

3-6 against SD, Atlanta and now Cincy.

How bad is post-April Thames? Jeez.

 

That said, this is on Junior sucking.

[SomewhereInTime]

Guerra has been terrible this year, luck finally catching up to him

[rickh150]

Vogt over Aguilar?

 

I haven't watched the end of the game...but that seems silly if Aguilar was available.

 

Question of the day....

Aguilar leads the lead in pinch hits, has power....

????

[adambr2]

3-6 against SD, Atlanta and now Cincy.

 

This is part of the reason I'm not really buying us as contenders. We're had every chance to put ground between us and the division, we're just not good enough to do it. It's not that we're bad, we're basically a .500 team, but . 500 is not winning the division.

[Matt1969]

Man..... How much of a lead would the Brewers have in the Central if they could just win some games? On the flip side, how many games could they be out of first place if the other teams would take advantage of our losses?

[nate82]

Braun has to lead the league in unnecessary diving catches.

 

Someone had to takeover for Jeter.

Vogt over Aguilar?

Lefty/righty matchup. For his career, Aguilar (smallish sample) has an OPS of .707 vs RHP, Vogt has a career OPS of .750 vs RHP. Statistically, it was slightly better to go with Vogt.

How about this year?

[Matt1969]

Brewers got SO LUCKY tonight. All contending teams in Central division lost.

Aguilar's OPS vs. RHP this year is .827. Vogt's is .675. That might have been the dumbest move by Counsell all year. Was he summoning Ned Yost?

[JohnBriggs12]

3-6 against SD, Atlanta and now Cincy.

 

3-4, not 3-6. 2-1 vs SD, 1-2 vs. ATL, and 0-1 so far vs. Cincy.

Yeah I would have thought goood vs bad hitter would be more important than lefty vs righty

I think the first and most important attribute for a PH, is to have someone that is used to coming up as a pinch hitter. That trumps lefty-righty by a lot in my book. Not much PHing in the AL, so I assume Vogt wouldn't have much experience coming in cold.

Sorry I meant Pirates Braves and Cincy......3-5 so far not 3-6 as I stated.
