2017-07-21: Brewers (Garza) at Phillies (Nola) 6:05 PM CDT [Brewers lose, 6-1]

[markedman5]

Nice work ump.....called it right the first time.....Nola glares in like it was a strike....throws the same pitch and you ring him up....

[MoreTrife]

Same dang pitch ump called strike second time. Nola knew ump couldn't resist calling it second time.

[jjgott]

Not to excuse everything, but this team has had to deal with some HORRENDOUS strike zones recently

[MoreTrife]

Said it better than me. I didn't like Nola feeling entitled to a strike call on a ball.

[MoreTrife]

Auggy is like a drunk hyper old timer at a dive bar who you can barely understand.

[Cool Hand Lucroy]

The pitch to Santana was a true borderline pitch. Gameday had it as a strike. Perez, though, yikes. That's just an umpire giving in.

 

On the bright side, Odubel Herrera made an out against the Brewers.

[owbc]

Hitting the glove 2" off the corner drives me insane. Can't wait until the robot umps remove that garbage from the game.

[Point Beer Is Best]

Just tuned in, but has the guy in the crowd who screams as the pitch approaches been doing that the whole game?

[Cool Hand Lucroy]

Boy, this offense is struggling lately. Double plays, quick innings, maybe overswinging a bit.

 

Hope the third time through is different.

At least for the last couple innings. [sarcasm]Hes the coolest guy ever.[/sarcasm]

I can't wait for the day when they take the strike zone out of the hands of these egomaniacs . And they inevitably will, someday.

[adambr2]

I have to give credit to Garza . The way things started I thought this was going to be a very ugly day for him .

 

Unfortunately with the way this offense is performing 2 runs might be too much.

[Cool Hand Lucroy]

Two really nice innings from Garza. Hard to complain too much about the pitching during this bad stretch.

[MoreTrife]

Throwing Broxton to Nola wasn't nice. Like leaving the baby in the woods for the white walkers. No chance.

[markedman5]

Broxton must have a hole in his bat.....

[Cool Hand Lucroy]

Broxton swings and misses at strikes more than anyone I've seen in a long time. It's one thing if a guy lacks strike zone discipline. It's another if he can't connect with fastballs down the middle.

[MoreTrife]

Alright, we're gonna lose 2-1. Nola is untouchable.

[markedman5]

When you actually put the bat on the ball sometimes you get lucky

[adambr2]

I'm still a big fan of Broxton and what he can offer when he's on but he's hurting us badly right now . He needs some time in Colorado Springs for the time being .

[adambr2]

More RISP failures .

[Baldkin]

Broxton swings and misses at strikes more than anyone I've seen in a long time. It's one thing if a guy lacks strike zone discipline. It's another if he can't connect with fastballs down the middle.

 

Yep, it's really bad this year. Way, way down from last season. Almost like the guy needs glasses or something.

[pacopete4]

Broxton is a lot soul up there. Make the flipping move already Stearns.

[markedman5]

Here we go......

[ReverendBrewmeister]

Rough game to watch here at Citizens Bank Park.

 

Just no real offense going for the Brewers. When they do get runners, it's with two outs, and there's no clutch hit. Shaw has missed two run scoring opportunities at bat.

 

Couple that with at least two poor defensive plays. Feels like the Pirates series extended.

[SomewhereInTime]

Typical Torres
