2018-05-20: Brewers (Guerra) at Twins (Odorizzi) 1:10 PM CDT [Brewers lose, 3-1]

[TURBO]

....and so the Sogard Scapegoat hat passes to Bandy. Perez and Villar high-five in the corner!

 

Eh, I don’t know. People have been pretty down on Bandy for awhile now. The difference is Counsell isn’t trying to make him a starter like he did with Sogard.

 

clap*clap*clap

And Bandy would be fine if there wasn’t a catcher in the minors that is supposed to be superior defensively and is have a nice head offensively. What is to hurt trying that route?

 

Probably nothing. Experience with the staff might count for a little. Bandy probably isn't quite this bad and he might just as easily have a couple good weeks as Bethancourt. He was gangbusters to start last year, if you recall.

 

Lots of teams probably want a better back-up catcher though. I'm saving my anger for if/when they make some kind of impulsive win-now trade, and I'm glad to say I might be waiting a long time.

Some umps would have tossed Shaw right there for that, glad this wasn't one of them.

[adambr2]

Jeez Perez. The strike zone does not extend up to your forehead.

[Eye Black]

I know the Brewers bats are prone to poor stretches, but Odorizzi has seemed to have done a nice job keeping the Brewers hitters guessing at the plate these first two times through the order.

[pacopete4]

Here we go Jett. Time to shut us up a bit.

[Eye Black]

Some umps would have tossed Shaw right there for that, glad this wasn't one of them.

I can’t remember seeing him lose his cool to that extent. Maybe I am forgetting some other examples, but it seemed really unnecessary.

[Underachiever]

Saladino's hit is big. Allows the Brewers to clear the Bandy spot in the order.

[stoutdude04]

Bandy. Gross.

[pacopete4]

Suter is a better hitter than Bandy.

[YelichPosse]

Saladino's hit is big. Allows the Brewers to clear the Bandy spot in the order.

 

This.

 

Nice little half swing there to go down.

[adambr2]

Might as well still have the pitcher hitting.

[pacopete4]

And now he’s probably cost us a run. What a bum.

[stoutdude04]

Nice throw.

[PeaveyFury]

What a horrendous throw.....

[YelichPosse]

Bandy is the gift that keeps on giving

[adambr2]

Well at least Bandy offers good D.

[Eye Black]

What a disastrous throw from Bandy. I have avoided piling on, but that was just bad.

[YelichPosse]

Well at least Bandy offers good Disasters.

 

Fixed.

[adambr2]

Thanks again Jett.

[hurricanecrush]

He would have scored anyway.

[adambr2]

He would have scored anyway.

 

No, he wouldn't have. He would have been at 2nd, the infield wouldn't have been drawn in and it would have been a routine groundout instead of an RBI single.

[YelichPosse]

Infield back Villar gets that, Buxton doesn’t score ...

 

Jennings has a killer pickoff move

[pacopete4]

Jennings may not even have entered the game, who knows. Either way, Bandy isn’t good. It’s been pretty apparent for awhile.

[rcc]

If this doesn't show CC that Bandy can't do the job then nothing will. If he could hit at least but needs to go down and join Sogard.
