2018-06-29: Brewers (Anderson) at Reds (Romano) 6:10 PM CDT [Brewers win, 8-2]

[NYChez]

Who would have thought the guy with the highest WAR in the NL has been holding us back all year.

[Roderick]

Am I the only one that was worried that Anderson would hurt himself running down the first time that play ?

[MrTPlush]

Time to demote Arcia.

[DuWayne Steurer]

Why'd we send him down again? Cain might be coming off the bench when he gets back...

 

 

I mean, you meant to put that in blue, right? Cain is leading the NL in position player WAR.

[YelichPosse]

Time to demote Arcia.

 

If Keon stays playing well... do they jettison Sogard or Arcia when Cain comes back? I wonder ...

[pacopete4]

The story of the season might be the contributions of those that were not expected.

[adambr2]

Broxton's best shot of staying up is to figure out how to play shortstop or catcher in the next week or so.

[markedman5]

Shaw looking smooth over there

[MrTPlush]

Time to demote Arcia.

 

If Keon stays playing well... do they jettison Sogard or Arcia when Cain comes back? I wonder ...

 

Isn’t Saladino on the doorstep of returning? I’m guessing that is what they are waiting for.

[Underachiever]

Nice double play!

[PinaMadness]

I guess I'm the only one who remembers how often Broxton struck out.

[Underachiever]

No, but great comment after the night he’s having.

I guess I'm the only one who remembers how often Broxton struck out.

 

Keon could have moments where he'd take tough pitches and hammer pitches he should hammer. The biggest issue was him not being able to find consistency with that, or even - say - half of that. Strikeouts are when he's slumping, but striking out a lot is hardly a reason to be off this roster. Maybe they're not striking out as much as they used to, or maybe they are, but this is a team that has struck out a TON in the last few years. Keon is a part of that but hardly alone.

[LouisEly]

Interesting... he has to throw Keon strikes here. Does he fiddle around trying to get him to chase?

[MrTPlush]

4 straight balls to walk Keon.....oh.

[jason21nl]

Should have been a 4 pitch walk

[LouisEly]

Well, he put it in play and didn't strike out.

[adambr2]

What an absolute horsecrap 3-0 strike call to Broxton, cost us a run.

 

I absolutely hate umpires that basically give you anything close on 3-0 and tighten up significantly on 0-2.

[tmwiese55]

old school umping costs a run. Can't wait til the automated system

[markedman5]

Worries me that we aren't up by 4 or 5 runs

[yfinn6]

Does Lorenzen do anything besides lift weights? look how small his head looks on his body.

[yfinn6]

I predict Dario Mendez won't be with FSN very long.

[folly412]

Classic Arcia game. His motto: no hits for me, no hits for you!

[adambr2]

Zach Davies is getting absolutely shelled in his rehab start in Appleton.

[markedman5]

Well that's a pitcher who can hit
