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

[MoreTrife]

Better be on the first bus out. Baffling decision to call him up with so much talent to chose from.

[NievesNoNO]

....and that will likely be his only MLB appearance... or should be

[PinaMadness]

Counsell just told him there's a ticket waiting for him at the airport.

"Send in Zagurski"

[adambr2]

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

 

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

 

I'm not excusing Stearns. This was stupid. But I'm sure Counsell is involved in the process and for all we know Zagurski is the guy he wanted.

[Roderick]

I hope if the Reds score enough that they have Jennings eat some innings and save Barnes from pitching too much.

 

Figure Lopez is already on a plane to Cincy to takes Zs spot.

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

I can't help but think Zagurski was called up because he'd be easily dumpable. But then he gets put in the game in a tight spot? Come on guys. I know you need spots eventually for Miley and Davies, but don't sacrifice wins now for that. Put the best team on the field, and figure things out later.

[PinaMadness]

On a side note, MLB has to get rid of these 21 games in a row without a day off nonsense. They absolutely wreck bullpens. 14 games in a row max.

[JosephC]

"Fresh arm" crap backfires. Houser would have stood a much better chance in this game. Come on Stearns, put the best 8 relief options on the 25 man roster and just stick with them!!!

[SeaBass]

Why Zagurski in a one run game? First appearance. I don't really get it.

 

As Barnes gives up a 2 run hit. Guess it doesn't matter.

[pacopete4]

Feels like the Cardinals series all over again.

[folly412]

Maybe tomorrow our 12 man roster can defeat the Reds' 25 man roster.

[PinaMadness]

Any chance of a rainout tomorrow?

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

Pulling Chacin at the point they did was questionable too. He could have come out for the 6th. Pitch count was low.

[SomewhereInTime]

As I predicted, Zagurski fills Logan's LOOGYWCGLO role perfectly.

[adambr2]

Losing record for June.

When you run a seven men pen, it is hard to hide more than 1 guy from leverage situations if you have a few tight games in a row.

[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.

Yeah, it's ugly.

[YelichPosse]

Zagcrapski .

 

Anyone else see this going this way when you bring up a career 7 ERA guy?

[SeaBass]

Zagurski and Barnes making Williams's 1 inning plus look like a pitching clinic.

[PinaMadness]

Just think, we have our Sunday lineup going tomorrow.

[SeaBass]

Wow

[jjgott]

LOL

[OldSchoolSnapper]

LMAO

[PinaMadness]

So long, guys. Life's too short. Bring in Perez to pitch.
