2018-08-20: Reds (Bailey) at Brewers (Anderson) 7:10 PM CDT [Brewers win, 5-2]

[FVBrewerFan]

IF Homer Bailey, IF he shuts out Brewers... I'm done. Done. And the optimists can keep their hope up.

 

Don't let the door hit you on the way out.

Rock says Schoop has been such a good hitter his entire career...I disagree.

 

Currently lost at the plate.

[mtrebs]

Don’t worry. Today is just one game. It’s a long season.

Dumbfounded that Thames is on the bench and both Braun and Aguilar are in the lineup.

 

Chalk another to the Counsell head-scratcher list. He's really been out-thinking (or under-thinking) himself lately.

 

Go look at Brauns career numbers against Bailey and then edit your post.

Go look at Thames and edit your post.

Braun had great numbers vs Bailey including 4 hrs....Aggie 2-5 with a homer

 

Thames has a couple of singles and walks...my guess is CC decided to go with the defense since they all had good numbers....Braun the only 1 with a decent sample size.

I said nothing about Thames not starting. I was defending the decision to play Braun.

Is Thames healthy?

I’ve kinda took a break from games the last few games. Turned it on in the 4th and see they’re down 2-0 and the first thing I see is a double play from Schoop. Turned it off. Sure they could win but I’m not taking that chance.

[pacopete4]

Don’t Braun and Aguilar both have hits? I mean what are we talking about here... Thames has been really bad as of late and Braun and Aguilar haven’t. They also provide better defense.

[torts]

had no idea Homer was THIS bad... I knew he was having a bad year, but yikes. tonight will be an 8 inning 2 hit outting from him.

 

 

Ugh...

[phnxcrew]

It’s diffult to even laugh at this lineup anymore

[pacopete4]

Yelich dropping 20 points in the last two weeks hasn’t helped this squad. Hopefully he can spin it around for the last month.

 

 

This was my post as the ball was being smashed out to left center. Lol

[markedman5]

Ok....let's go now!

[LouisEly]

 

I find your lack of faith disturbing.

[kybrewerfan]

We desperately need Yelich to get hot again because this offense can’t seem to do crap if he’s struggling.

 

Hoping you have inspired him!

[MrTPlush]

This team needs to find a way to win today. Just a ridiculous game to lose late in the season.

[LouisEly]

Bailey's third time through the lineup: 1.077 OPS.

[kybrewerfan]

Having to listen to Thom Brennamon is my personal hell.

Bailey's third time through the lineup: 1.077 OPS.

Against the Brewers = 0.600

Against the rest of baseball = 1.105

[KeithStone53151]

Planning ahead for this game, I know he won't do it...but it sure looks like a game we should try to keep at a 1 run deficit to give us a chance. Reality is we have 3 innings left to score one...once Iglesias is in there it's as good as over.

[pacopete4]

And just like that, Chase has a nice start going. Gotta be annoying to never get run support.

What I'm trying to imply...is that Lyles should definitely pitch multiple innings here...

[mtrebs]

Wow! Chase kept us in it and the offense came through! Time to sit Chase now.

[MrTPlush]

THERE WE GO!!!! My god!!!!!
