2019-07-01: Brewers (Houser) at Reds (Mahle) [Brewers win, 8-6 -- After just one hit through 6 innings the Brewers bat around in a 5-run 7th inning]

[sveumrules]

Hader for two more innings? Albers and Jeffress unavailable? Man Hader is that dude but won't be for long at this rate. Gots to find two more trusted arms or he's toast.

 

There are 96 pitchers with more relief appearances than Hader so far.

 

There are 18 pitchers with more innings in relief to this point.

 

Only three of his 31 appearances have come on consecutive days.

 

He threw a total of 63 pitches over the nine days prior to today.

But none of those fit the narrative that this team is bad and continuously makes poor decisions

[willie key]

First place all alone. You have to love the NL Central

[adambr2]

Atta boy JJ. Whew.

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

And ... win

[markedman5]

Interesting that Jimmy would travel with the club being on the IL.

[pacopete4]

Woooooooooohoooooooo!!! Seems like a great time to get hot and win a couple of series heading into the break. Great start!

Haha. Sometimes I'll just be walking down the hall & like see a really hard math problem on the chalkboard & then totally solve it just for fun.

It does kind of suck that you can’t use your stud on back to back days

 

But I’m all for,the way the brewers use hader. You have to keep him fresh

Wait ... I thought this was a bad team? It's all I've seen the last few weeks!

I don't disagree that they need another high leverage pen arm. Maybe it will end up being Burnes. Maybe Peralta. Maybe Houser. Maybe Will Smith, maybe Ken Giles, maybe Shane Greene. But the guys you have right now you're still kind of biting your nails if it isn't Hader. Albers has done a good job lately, but I still don't really trust him as that guy.

[willie key]

He has what’s called an injured ERA. Needs to be around the guys

Well, most fans know the talent is there for this team. Just gotta find a bit of consistency lately and we’ll be alright.

I also don't disagree that they could use another back end arm. But the narrative that they are overusing or misusing Hader is obviously false.

[Lathund]

Brewers win, and Cubs give up 18 runs to the Pirates.

[willie key]

JMB reads a lot of narratives about the brewers

 

Are they real?

 

Or,does JMB use it to fire himself up before a big IGT night?

 

Need an article from portrykus to get to the bottom of it

Those are great nights

 

Plus our prospect hit one 440 feet

Works of fiction all around. Actually, perhaps "agenda" is a better term.

They were 48-7 last year in games he pitched and 27-4 so far this year.

 

I'll never question Counsell on his bullpen management.

I mean, that stat is pretty misleading. Hader generally never pitches without a lead, so that number is pretty expected. But I do agree Counsell is generally a good pen manager.

[Eye Black]

The Brewers are now 15-5 combined against the Pirates and Reds in 2019. Nice to see them beating up on those division foes so far this season.

[Zad Fnark]

Also good seeing the Cubs struggle against them.

Obviously? Because you say so?? Again the fact that you don't agree doesn't make the other point of view wrong but I think you know that since I have to correct you just about every day.

[willie key]

Btw. Brewers were a rare underdog tonight. Only slightly
