2018-08-12: Brewers (Anderson) at Braves (Newcomb) 12:35 PM CDT [Brewers lose, 8-7]

[Bulldogboy]

Hernan is playing good ball. Much better at short than I thought. Valuable guy. Plate discipline would be nice but can't have everything.

[bigredrobbo]

There's something quite lovely about that straight-on angle when a hitter knocks one to center.

[PinaMadness]

That's the play they should've challenged.

[dlk9s]

So we lose a challenge that we should've won and now can't challenge that.

[wildcat83]

He was safe, no challenges left...

[bigredrobbo]

Safe as they come, and the replay system works like a charm. Oh, wait...

[bigredrobbo]

That's the play they should've challenged.

 

Yeah, Craig needs to power up the DeLorean so he could see there would be one to challenge later...

[wildcat83]

He lets you play with a 4 man bench because he can play anywhere. The fact that he's killing lefties is a bonus.

[clancyphile]

Hernan has really been hitting the snot out of the ball the last month or so.

 

Yeah, he can get hot, and when he does... he's very good.

 

That and his versatility make him a keeper.

[PinaMadness]

That's the play they should've challenged.

 

Yeah, Craig needs to power up the DeLorean so he could see there would be one to challenge later...

That's not what I meant. CC challenged a play that had no shot of being overturned. At least this replay would've had a 5% chance.

[adambr2]

What a freaking terrible call..

 

Why are these guys even graded? There's no accountability ever for their ineptitude anyway.

[Bulldogboy]

Anyone on Burnes two days in a row? Data?

[dlk9s]

That's the play they should've challenged.

Cain was safe, so I believe the call had a shot of being overturned. We, as cynics, didn't think it would be, but since he was safe, it certainly should have been.

[jason21nl]

I hate baseball

[phnxcrew]

Dear lord with this team. I was about to say something positive

[BruisedCrew]

I think we can put to rest the concept that the Brewers have a good bullpen.

[TwinsBrewersWorldSeries]

Yeah, I've got nothing...

[Bulldogboy]

Anyone on Burnes two days in a row? Data?

I'll guess not so good. Bullpen is a dumpster fire. Except Jeffress and Hader.

[owbc]

That wasn't even a strike.

[xisxisxis]

Talk about a dysfunctional team:

 

Brewers 7 runs on 16 hits

Braves 7 runs on 8 hits....

 

Clown Car Offense.... should be Clown Car Team...

[BruisedCrew]

Anyone on Burnes two days in a row? Data?

 

He didn’t pitch yesterday and has not pitched 2 days in a row for the Brewers this year.

[HarveysWBs]

That didn't seem like a horrible pitch by Burnes, but Swanson(!) was all over it. Could this be a pitch tipping situation? Pitch selection getting predictable?

[adambr2]

16 hits and we're not even winning. Just sad.

[adambr2]

Anyone on Burnes two days in a row? Data?

 

He didn’t pitch yesterday.

 

Sure did.

[homer]

Not watching - is it Barnes or Burnes pitching?
