2018-07-20: Dodgers (Hill) at Brewers (Miley) 7:10 PM CDT [Brewers lose, 6-4 -- Now 7 consecutive losses]

[wildcat83]

If Perez makes the play at 2B that HR never happens. Sigh.

 

If only we had a 2B with slightly more range than Perez, who also hits better, and has more speed on the base paths.....

 

I don't get what Villar needs to do to play more than Perez...

 

Play for a different team. Unfortunately

 

Probably, but it baffles me. He's been more disciplined on the bases, he's been more patient at the plate. On any given day he can be a spark that we need right now. He sometimes single handedly creates a run.

[Eye Black]

I know Cain is a GREAT CF but I would have loved to see Broxton get the chance to steal that HR away from Kiki.

I mentioned this earlier tonight, but Broxton really should be the one in CF when they are both in the lineup.

This is what happens when you depend on your bullpen night in and night out to keep you in close low-scoring ballgames. This offense needs to figure out how to score some runs real quick. Definitely need a shot in the arm from somewhere, whether its a call-up, trade ... something.

 

Burnes was called up and hasn’t pitched since the Miami series

 

I'm almost positive he pitched one of the doubleheader games.

 

Looks like you were right, I’ve just tried to erase that series from my memory I guess

[adambr2]

Cain has had a very bad night, to say the least.

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

 

Villar has had every opportunity to start for the last 3 years and continuously makes boneheaded plays that cost the team. Also he is not a better hitter than Perez sorry. Don’t understand why Hernan gets so much hate.

 

Hernan's plate discipline is horrid.

 

I will challenge your Villar assertion of "continuously boneheaded plays" as well. He's actually been playing smart ball both defensively and on the bases this year. Not real sure where you are getting that narrative from.

[Eye Black]

Yelich on the other hand just looks completely dialed in at the plate.

[TJH123]

If Woodruff wasn’t an AAAA pitcher that probably would’ve been the game winning hit

Villar hasn't made bonehead plays this year.

 

Perez OBP .282 compared to Villar at .315

 

That's a huge difference for a struggling offense.

Except Jansen would have pitched the whole inning.

Pretty sure his mind is already made up. Not even sure why I responded.

[adambr2]

Got the 2 runs you needed! Except ....you gave up 3 in the top of the inning first, so nevermind.

 

It just doesn't get much more Brewer than that.

[owbc]

This team is really good at finding creative ways to lose.

[phnxcrew]

If we lose another ten, do we

Sell on the 31st?

Villar is hitting .300 with a .352 OBP vs LHP this year. He is a better hitter than Perez against lefties.

[buckybrewer232]

The fact that we're arguing who is better between Villar and Perez just shows how awful the 2B situation is..

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

If we lose another ten, do we

Sell on the 31st?

 

Yeah

 

 

 

 

 

 

Not gonna happen, though

 

 

 

 

 

(I hope)

[mtrebs]

Tying run got to the plate, so no need to make any adjustments!

[Eye Black]

If Woodruff wasn’t an AAAA pitcher that probably would’ve been the game winning hit

Disagree on Woodruff, he has the ingredients to develop into a solid MLB mid-rotation starter, IMO.

 

A broken bat “single” extended the inning, that is bad luck and bad range that got him tonight more than anything.

Agreed ... better stuff than most of the guys on this staff. Pitched well tonight for the most part. One solid hit on him, and they made it count.

[BruisedCrew]

If Woodruff wasn’t an AAAA pitcher that probably would’ve been the game winning hit

 

Of course, if the score had been 3-2 Jansen would have started the inning and Yelich probably would never have gotten to the plate.

We’ll see. He seems like he has it on lockdown a lot of the time and then just completely unravels

Yeah

Yeah won't happen-- but...if they don't put it together soon...

 

Losing the next 2 to the Dodgers, then losing 2 out of 3 to Washington, 3 out of 4 in San Francisco, then 2 in L.A., would put them at 4 over .500 on deadline day.

 

And none of that is a really big stretch.

I was excited for baseball to start up again. Now I'm not.
