2018-06-30: Brewers (Chacín) at Reds (Mahle) 3:10 PM CDT [Brewers lose, 12-3; MLB.tv Free Game of the Day]

[adambr2]

I guess if extra basehits are totally meaningless it's a good line. A .659 OPS is still not very good.

 

As a PH...honestly...getting on base and getting runs in is pretty good. No power? I will suffer.

 

That's totally situation dependent. Down 3 runs heading into the 8th? Sure, give me a guy who gets on to lead off the inning.

 

Down 5-2 with 2 outs and runners on 1st and 2nd with 2 out in the 9th, a little different type of pinch hitter desired.

[BuckyBrewer61]

Shaw has not been good for a few weeks now

[PinaMadness]

What was that, Perez? Even Arcia would've laid off that one.

[TURBO]

Zagurski up again in the bullpen...

 

Who else do we have available today?

 

EDIT: and here we gooooooooooooooo! Please, for the love of God, don't make CC look stupid here Zagurski.

 

I hope I am dead wrong about this.

[SeaBass]

Another inning, another leadoff hitter on base...

[PinaMadness]

Is that Zagurski or Bartolo Colon jogging out of the pen?

[OldSchoolSnapper]

When I see Zagurski all I think about is that old Buffalo Wild Wings ad where they "put in Mahoney."

 

I don't have a good feeling about this.

[Roderick]

You figure Hader and Jeffress are not available. Jennings shouldn't be seen. So Barnes for 8th and Knebel the 9th. Got to get through 7th

[Fear The Chorizo]

This game reeks of other games where CC left williams in to face a righty to try and get an extra out, only to walk him or give up a hit, then logan would come in and get shelled by a group of lefty hitters...

 

Hoping zagurski isn't just a polish logan

[PinaMadness]

Just the fact that's he's thrown over to first twice to start makes me nervous.

[SeaBass]

Coming out throwing strikes can't complain with that.

[adambr2]

Zagurski makes Matt Albers look like Barbie.

[jjgott]

Zagurski has the name of a guy that either becomes the fan favorite or the goat.

[jjgott]

C'mon ump!

[TURBO]

Thames is a horrific mess in the outfield. An absolute mess.

[MoreTrife]

I'm sure this has been pointed out a thousand times already but why did we even call this bum up?!?!?!??

[jjgott]

That's what happens when you put people in the OF that can't play OF

[MrTPlush]

Isn’t Barnes available or something? Pitiful

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

Zagurski proving he was a better call-up than Ramirez or Torres-Costa.

 

Come on Stearns, stop hamstringing Counsell by calling up inferior talent.

[PinaMadness]

It was just a matter of time. Of course Thames did play that pretty badly as expectd, but a depleted pen didn't bode well for their chances to win. We really needed Williams to pitch much better than he did today. This could get ugly.

[SeaBass]

Anyone else notice this ump sucks? Oh everyone? Ok then.

[jjgott]

So long Zagurski!

[TURBO]

I can't watch this any longer. Done for the day, carry on guys.

[adambr2]

1) These umps are a disgrace. This entire series. They are so bad at their job, it's a complete embarrassment and nothing is ever done.

 

2) Zagurski was a dumb promotion/callup. You had other options guys, this one is on you. You got cute with your 40th guy and you're paying for it today. Stop keeping better guys down who deserve opportunities.

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

Why is this pud still pitching? Come on Counsell.
