2019-07-05: Brewers (Davies) at Pirates (Brault) [Brewers win, 7-6 in 10 innings -- Bullpen blows 5-run lead in the 9th, offense answers in the 10th]

[Fear The Chorizo]

This week before the AS break is notorious for the brewers playing like a dumpster fire, so any win in my book is a bonus...but yeah, it would be nice for them to start playing consistently well pretty damn soon. Nice start from Davies and it's nice to see the bats at least wake up for a night

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

Well, at least Hader should be good to go for Sunday, if not tomorrow.

[brewmann04]

ugh your right win but what a mess this could have been tonight. well hope Guerra enjoyed his time in milwaukee

[adambr2]

Why the hell did we pitch to Frazier. But we won

 

Back in first. Hahaha. This division is special

 

 

Bad, bad managing from a very good manager. Did he think another pinch hitter was on the bench? What is his lame excuse?

 

I really didn't have a huge problem with that. Very rarely do you want to purposely move the tying run from 1st to 2nd into scoring position willingly, even with a pitcher coming up after. Frazier is ok, he's not Christian Yelich. Doesn't have a ton of pop. You play no doubles defense, and if he gets a hit, which he did, you still have a chance to retire the pitcher.

[adambr2]

Needed to win this.... great bounce back by Brewers and Junior.

 

Did you watch the 10th? Junior was putting almost every pitch on a tee. He should go buy a lottery ticket for how fortunate he was to get 3 outs. It was atrocious.

It was Stupid ... with a capital "S." Frazier has eaten the Brewers lunch for at least a few seasons ... that pitcher on deck had no chance to do any damage. Frazier had a much higher chance to do significant damage. It was Stupid ... with a capital "S."

Right there with ya on this one. You ask Guerra to make his pitches and defend accordingly.

[brewmann04]

I guess CC walked away with a win but was not his best game tonight.

Yeah, one of the outs was a pitcher and the two other outs left the bats at 97.8 and 105.9 respectively. He was really bad tonight.

[Brewcrewin07]

And to think...the only reason any of this happens to begin with is Cain dropping basically a routine fly ball. He catches that, none of the rest of it ever happens.

[willie key]

When the all star break comes CC needs to spend the four days in a dark room without any worldly possessions, clear his mind and get his together

[brewmann04]

Yes your are right but the pitchers need to make pitches,and Guerra in the 10th got very lucky.But CC was inexcusable for not knowing they only had the pitcher on deck.

[Pugger]

Our offense is more maddening to watch then Davies...

 

Agreed. Until recently Davies was one of our most effective pitchers and he did another nice job last night. Thankfully the guys finally scored some runs last night. Let's hope last night's hitting is a sign of things to come.

[Pugger]

I'd love for them to win a few games here but so far this year we have been mediocre.......and lately we have been worse.

 

It gives me no,pleasure to say it.

 

Yes, we've been mediocre but outside of the Dodgers and perhaps the Braves so have the rest of the NL so far this season.

[Pugger]

Okay get someone up in the pen Craig and save Hader.

 

CC did and we almost blew it.

[Pugger]

Deolis Guerra on a major league mound for the first time in nearly two years (September 30, 2017).

 

I suspect he'll be back in San Antonio real quick now.

[Pugger]

Just another typical ho hum Brewers victory.

 

We can't do it the easy way, can we?

[Pugger]

 

It was Stupid ... with a capital "S." Frazier has eaten the Brewers lunch for at least a few seasons ... that pitcher on deck had no chance to do any damage. Frazier had a much higher chance to do significant damage. It was Stupid ... with a capital "S."

 

But was it CC or lousy pitches that we got away with?

[BarneyStinston]

Deolis Guerra on the roster for 2 days and punched his DFA ticket already. Next up Burch Smith.
