2018-07-22: Dodgers (Wood) at Brewers (Suter) 1:10 PM CDT [Brewers lose, 11-2]

[82brewcrew82]

Dang, that was ripped.

[MoreTrife]

We're really going to load the bases and not score?

[82brewcrew82]

Hey, we scored first!

[MoreTrife]

Thank God

[DuWayne Steurer]

We're really going to load the bases and not score?

 

No?

[rcc]

Yay Travis hit to right and two RBIs against a lefty.

[PinaMadness]

I would say this is a scoring opportunity.

Bases loaded nobody out? I'm not so sure about that. I would say the Dodgers have us right where they want us.

I'll gladly eat crow on this one.

[wildcat83]

Wow, crooked number in the first, now keep it rolling!

[topper09er]

Yeah, I hate .300 hitters with improving power and great OBP. He’s 26 and could develop those power numbers a lot.

 

Come on now, I am with you in that I really like Yelich and I think he has yet to even enter his prime, but the people talking about him are not saying anything close to "hating" him.

[liveforoctober]

Let's get this pitch count into the 40's this inning.

[Eye Black]

Dang, that was ripped.

Braun has struggled statistically this year, but his xwOBA is a very solid .347 which suggests he has had some really tough luck along the way.

[adambr2]

Pretty much exactly the approach I would have expected from Perez with the bases loaded after 2 previous walks in the inning.

[PinaMadness]

Leave it to Perez to kill the rally.

[MoreTrife]

Love free swinging Hernan.

[wildcat83]

Two walks already, Pérez goes up hacking...

[SomewhereInTime]

Pretty much exactly the approach I would have expected from Perez with the bases loaded after 2 previous walks in the inning.

 

And neither pitch was anywhere near the strikezone

[reillymcshane]

Guy struggling to hit the strike zone and bases loaded. So what do u do? Swing at everything. No clue from Hernán.

[jjfanec]

One of the only

Negative statements I disagreed with in the last week was the talk of Yelich not being good enough. Yeah, I hate .300 hitters with improving power and great OBP. He’s 26 and could develop those power numbers a lot.

 

Agree completely. Yelich is now 3rd in the NL for WAR among OFers, and is young, and is relatively cheap. What more do people want?

[adambr2]

It's very frustrating and really inexcusable. Its like he wasn't even paying attention to what had already happened in the inning.

[Bulldogboy]

Why Hernan ahead of Saladino?

[PinaMadness]

Was there any doubt Braun would butcher that? That was laughable x10

[adambr2]

Remember all the Braun for Kemp rumors in the offseason and how laughable the front office found it to be?

[DuWayne Steurer]

Perez has been a semi-regular player going on four years now and still has no Strike Zone recognition and no situational awareness at all. The fact that this guy still starts as much as he does bothers me. Yeah yeah yeah he's versatile he has a little power, but he is really not a good baseball player other than he plays decent defense and has a little pop.

[jjfanec]

Suter doing his best to let this lead slip away quickly. He just isnt a guy who should be starting games. I know we have had injuries but Burnes should be there instead of Suter

[adambr2]

Why Hernan ahead of Saladino?

 

He isn't. Saladino walked. As is a good thing to do when the pitcher isn't throwing strikes, not that Hernan has any clue about that.
