Good god Rock, stop acting like this is the first time this has ever happened in this history of baseball. It's a smart move.

 

This is just as bad as your whole "disrespecting the game" crap you had to say when the Cubs pitched Jon Jay.

It's no more disrespectful that trotting Peralta out there Rock.

[DuWayne Steurer]

Listening (or reading, really) what you guys have to say about Schroeder's commentary makes me glad I don't have cable anymore. I can still (if I choose to) catch the games on Foxsportsgo, but I'd rather just follow it on gameday and listen in on the radio instead.

And the pigeon never moved.

Right?! I'm pretty sure our starter gave up 6 HRs, so yeah... I mean, pitchers stand up there and try to hit every game so I don't see a position player pitching as much different.

[rcc]

Hernan can pitch! Two Brewers also had a homer.

 

Otherwise this game was an embarrassment. Send Blazek back to the minors and Peralta DFA. The new guy had better be a good pitcher.

 

On to Miller Park and the Chicago Cubs.

[Matt1969]

I'm just happy the Brewers took one of the three from the Gnats. Way more than I expected.

[hawing]

I had a custom WHOLESTAFF shirsey made a few years ago. I'm wearing it today.

 

What number did you use?

12. I asked the hive mind of Twitter and we came up with that as a typical number of pitchers on a roster.

[Matt1969]

Brewers just have to finish one game above .500 since ASB. Other teams have to finish way above. We can do it. Long way to go. Just hitting a bad spot now. We'll turn it around. I am confident.

[Lee16]

yeah I saw that he's almost at 40! thats awesome!

 

Blazek just struck out the last 4 in a row, all .300+ BA.. what a bum

 

Bad as this game was, gotta say, this bit of comedy was solid gold. Well played.

[torts]

also, lets not forget, of the first 15 runs, zero were at fault of the defense. the only error in the game came AFTER 15 runs were scored.

[torts]

also, if you take away every home run the brewers lose a close one, 3-2. #silverlining

Maybe Counsell could try positioning the outfielders beyond the outfield walls?

[torts]

I mean, it couldn't hurt

And the pigeon never moved.

 

I once attended a double header against the Red Sox at County Stadium in 1992 and a two pigeons sat on a wire for both games. Gantner hit a walk off in game 1.

[Lathund]

The loss yesterday was a lot harder to take than this. Blazek and Peralta just didn't have it, and it happened against one of the best offenses in the league. The negatives are quite obvious here, but to look at some positives from the series we also did shut the Nationals out, 8-0. Zach Davies and Jimmy Nelson had two excellent starts. Lewis Brinson is hitting. The great thing about baseball is that even the worst loss is just one loss, and there's a new game tomorrow.

[SomewhereInTime]

That game score of -18 for Blazek might be the lowest I've ever seen.

[Polish Falcons]

Was just wondering, couldn't they have called up someone from the minors for a spot start?

[Matt1969]

Also, at least we didn't give up 22 runs like Texas did a few days ago.

[JosephC]

Peralta has become a complete waste of a roster spot. Can't imagine why the Brewers would continue to hold onto him.

[Ennder]

yeah I saw that he's almost at 40! thats awesome!

Not a big Blazek fan but you really do have to give him a mulligan here. In what world are you expecting a guy who hasn't' started in what ? 3 years to go 3+ innings against one of the top 5 offenses in baseball. He was totally set up for failure here.

[clancyphile]

Well, the Cubs series just became a must-sweep.

[Matt1969]

Well, the Cubs series just became a must-sweep.

 

Not even close.

[ZBTMP]

Sorry, this one is on me as I made the mistake of boosting to Cubs fans that the Brewers still had the better Pythagorean record after they moved ahead of us.

He's been starting in AAA. Thrown 80+ pitches almost every start.
