2018-09-15: Pirates (Nova) at Brewers (Davies) 6:10 PM CDT [Brewers lose, 3-1]

Walks are just something you have to live with if this is the rotation you are going to put out there.

 

Other teams rotations don’t walk guys? Man, what is Stearns thinking. He should go get those guys.

 

Since the start of the trip to Wrigley the starters specifically are averaging over 7 walks per 9. Obviously they've been winning, so no harm no foul, but that number is playing with fire. Not that it should never happen but it shouldn't happen quite so frequently especially with Peralta no longer in the rotation.

[82brewcrew82]

Wow, just wow.

[adambr2]

Well this isn't good.

[WinkelsasVsSoriano]

Lucky to escape that with no further damage. C'mon batters. Bat the ball! Bat the ball where the other guys aren't!

[82brewcrew82]

Well this isn't good.

Six innings to score at least one run against Nova and that pen.

[sarcasm]Which looks like a tall order at this point.[/sarcasm]

[WinkelsasVsSoriano]

C'mon batters. Bat the ball! Bat the ball where the other guys aren't!

 

I feel like they just consciously ignored what I said. Perhaps there was some confusion? Brewers, I was referring to you. That should take care of it in the next half inning.

Yelich is so good he can hit 'em where they are and still get hits. The rest of the gang is having trouble with the concept to hitting.

[PinaMadness]

Boy, Saladino has had a couple putrid at bats in the last few days. Don't blink or you'll miss him walking back to the dugout.

[adambr2]

Be better, offense.

[phnxcrew]

The pirates league average staff has seemingly absolutely dominated us this year.

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

I think I'm about ready for Jacob Barnes to go away.

[PinaMadness]

This team looks so lifeless tonight.

[phnxcrew]

Not seemingly. Coming into tonight we are hitting .236 (10th in the NL) against the Pirates. Hit better, because no one else is losing

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

Oh man ... looking like a rough one tonight.

[PinaMadness]

Why isn't Manny V. playing tonight?

[82brewcrew82]

There are just some games where they cannot get out of their own way.

[PinaMadness]

Sit down and shut up, Cervelli! God I hate him.

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

Don't know what Cervelli is yakking about. That pitch caught the bottom of the zone it seemed.

[adambr2]

I just don't know why Kratz has basically become our starting catcher.

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

I just don't know why Kratz has basically become our starting catcher.

 

Likely because Pina is not good either. Horse apiece.

[phnxcrew]

If you didn't know their records, which team looks like a playoff team on the field tonight?

[PinaMadness]

I just don't know why Kratz has basically become our starting catcher.

 

Likely because Pina is not good either. Horse apiece.

Uh, ok?

[PinaMadness]

There are some pitchers you just can't fix. Jacob Barnes is one of them.

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

'Bout time, Craig. Barnes needs to go into the same witness protection program as Albers and Lyles.
