2018-07-12: Brewers (Miley) at Pirates (Taillon) 6:05 PM CDT [Brewers lose, 6-3]

[mtrebs]

More of the same garbage. 1st and 3rd with no outs and it results in no runs. It seems like this type of situation is happening daily and it’s killing us.

[adambr2]

27 strikeouts yesterday and the first 5 innings today. Just pathetic.

[Warning Track Power]

Miley should have been bunting. Take your shot with Thames and Cain with 2nd and 3rd. Counsell makes some seriously maddening moves sometimes.

[jjgott]

Congrats to Kratz on his first career stolen base. Boo to all the people after him that stuck out.

[jvrocksaz]

Thanks for blowing a great scoring opportunity by handing them a free out just so you can inevitably pull Miley in a couple hitters anyway, Craig. Hope it was worth it.

With the top of the order coming up, there should have been a run there.

 

Except with Thames at the top of the order it is not a typical top of the order. He is a huge K risk and that experiment should really be over.

Much better odds nobody out than 1. All the pinch hitter has to do is put it in play and we score, even if we hit into a double play. Terrible decision.

[Warning Track Power]

Awesome start to the inning Miley...

[PinaMadness]

This has to be a tired Brewers team, and not just because they got in late early this morning. They haven't had a day off in two and a half weeks and now have to play a double header Saturday, which can't believe they agreed to. I thought both teams had to agree to a make up date. Why would the Brewers do Saturday with the stretch of consecutive games we have?

[jvrocksaz]

Agreed. With the way this is trending right now, I really hope the team stays the course at the deadline and doesn’t just throw away prospects.

[adambr2]

This is going well. Again, hope this was all worth it letting Miley hit, Counsell.

[young guns]

Wasted kratzs series allotment of hits.

[Warning Track Power]

Houser warming up...

 

Counsell you are Mike McCarthy questionable sometimes.

He's a top of the order bat, a run producer. Runner in scoring position with one out and your run producers coming up, a run should be expected. If you're argument is that it shouldn't be an expectation in that situation, then this team has bigger issues.

This SOL beer commercial can go away anytime now...

 

I just hate the constant barrage of the same commercials night after night after night after night after night after night...

 

Feldco windows, CALL NOW!

 

Leinenkugels and that whistling tune...

 

Gruber Lawffices.....One call, that's all...

 

Pizza Ranch and all those ridiculous cliche's from Craig C...................................UGH!

[82brewcrew82]

Well, at least we've found another mid to back end starter that doesn't have the ability to put hitters away so he nibbles and ends up walking a bunch of bad hitters.

[adambr2]

82, I'm just giving you the odds. You have 1st and 3rd nobody out, and you willingly turn it into 1st and 3rd 1 out, your odds of scoring obviously go down, statistically. JV is right to say Thames, while a good hitter, is both an enormous K and double play risk and thus makes those odds even worse and makes the decision even more questionable.

[adambr2]

Miley sucks.

[TURBO]

Why are we the only ones to know this ahead of time? Can't CC figure this out himself. It is maddening...

[yfinn6]

Pretty sure Miley is only pitching because there are what, five games in four days? I don't know how much an extra inning of Miley will help ease some of the pitching burden, but it looks like it won't make a difference if he can't even get out of this inning. Whatever.

[PinaMadness]

CC is a genius.

[Roderick]

Why is Miley even starting the inning? Arghhh. I get he didn't let any runs, but the top of the order and counsell was letting him pitch?

[82brewcrew82]

Luck-EEEEE

What we need is a facebook game.

Don't let that fool you. Sometimes you luck out.

With Cain back, Thames should not see the leadoff spot again, but here we are, and he continues to do so. I can see Thames at leadoff if the bottom of our order typically get on base enough to say Thames will then be able to knock them in. That isn't the case, so Thames at leadoff serves no purpose.
