2019-05-17: Brewers (Chacín) at Braves (Fried) [Brewers lose, 12-8]

[kybrewerfan]

Ok....3-0 to the #8 hitter with an open base............and he was not walked?!?? That is stupid baseball

[TJseven7]

Did the Brewers not have a first base coach when Hiura was at bat?

 

Wasn't anywhere close on the replay from what I saw.

 

That looked like Hiura’s decision. He saw where the ball was headed and decided to go on his own

 

If you aren't going to be vocal as the base coach, and it's Hiura's choice, don't have a base coach.

This is batting practice for the Braves. On the bright side (or not), I'm in the 14th row behind the Brewers' on deck circle with free food and drink.

How bout' those down-the-middle pitches stop? Good lord Chacin

[Oxy]

Still only 3-0 after 3 innings. Seems like 10-0. Game can turn around in a hurry.

[TJseven7]

Looks like Chacin's 2018 season is his outlier. He's now back to being who I thought he was when we signed him. A career mediocre #3 or 4.

 

He's a career 3.89. Nothing is wrong with 3.89 for 7 mil a year.

Our offense is plenty capable of getting back 3 runs. But the way Chacin is getting hit up it could have been, and feels about to be about 7-0.

Just sitting down to read this thread. From everyone’s reaction I thought it would be 7-0 as well.

Fried completely dominating us. 3 run deficit seems insurmountable because of him.

[Brew crew 92]

Donaldson is a shell of his former self, injuries and age taken their toll.

[Brew crew 92]

Nelson dealin thru 3, 2 h 0 r 0 bb 4 ks

[Brew crew 92]

This team just doesn’t manufacture runs, I’m beginning to think it’s not stressed, by the front office, CC whatever. Maybe their analysis has determined it’s not worth changing there homerun approach, I don’t know the answere here, just grasping at straws.

[Brew crew 92]

Why is Burnes in this game?

[TURBO]

Pretty tough to stay interested in this game with the Bucks doing so well on another channel. Usually I stay focused on the Brewer game and tune into the Bucks occasionally. Tonight I am more focused on the Bucks, and tune into the Brewers occasionally. lol

Seems like a good time to get him some work. I guess they were only down 3 but I suppose they were hoping he could go 2 or 3 innings tonight since Chacin had a shortish start

I'm the only one on the Bucks thread. I'd much rather watch a Bucks ECF game they most likely are going to win than a Mid May Brewers game they are most likely going to lose.

 

(Tunes into Brewers game during a Commercial break on TNT to see an 8-0 score)

 

EDIT: Will lose.

[Brew crew 92]

One of the few disagreements I’ve had this year with CC in bringing in Burnes down 3, but the way Fried pitching might as well be 10. Burnes high leverage adrenaline type pitcher, bad decision.

 

Barnes could have 2, Albers an inning.

[TURBO]

If CC is concerned Rock, then why is he still in there.

 

It's not a good idea to leave a young guy in this long, he is getting destroyed.

[trwi7]

Burnes has given up more homers this inning than the Brewers have hits in the game.

now it is 10! haha, you're Nostradamus!

[Bulldogboy]

You can't keep Burnes up here at this point. As an organization you have to protect the player. I'm sure he wants to stay and fight but results matter. He's got to go back to the drawing board.

[folly412]

Burnes storming back into the league lead for home runs allowed. Came in one behind Kyle Freeland, who has nearly twice as many innings and plays in Colorado.

[JosephC]

Burnes ERA back over 10.

[Oxy]

Why is Burnes in this game?

 

Jeffress has been moved back to his high leverage spot along with Guerra and Hader. Claudio has his SMOG role (SouthpawMultipleOutGuy). Houser, Albers, Burnes, and Barnes are the candidates to pitch when down or up a lot. Albers and Houser pitched yesterday.

 

It was the perfect Burnes spot and he turned it into the perfect Barnes spot. Woulda been nice if those two could finish the game but I'd imagine Claudio (or Perez) will get those honors.

[Brew crew 92]

Angry at CC. Why leave him in this long to give up 2 extra hrs. Worst decision he’s made all year. Barnes should have been in this inning to begin, but certainly before last 2 home runs. I hope he apologizes to burnes and takes responsibility for this debacle.
