2019-07-22: Reds (Gray) at Brewers (Anderson) [Brewers lose, 6-5 -- Saladino’s 8th inning grand slam gives Crew the lead; Jeffress serves up 2-run HR in 9th to Suarez]

[yourout]

Well that sucked.

[Bulldogboy]

Now,confidence in Jeffress working for the third day in a row??

I'm guessing the answer is none??

[MoreTrife]

Strike two to Manny appeara to almost have hit him... True?

[buckybrewer232]

Lol Pina. Watch 2 fastballs right down the middle and then chase that.

[Brewcrewin07]

The panzy ass writers for this team will never ask CC any tough questions tonight. Total crap, Counsell may have just blew this entire season. I want to hear his lame ass reason for pitching ot Suarez, and i want him to be taken to task by one of the reporters.

[owbc]

I would have rather lost 4-1.

[pacopete4]

We can get mad at CC but I’ll turn my attention to JJ and Grandal. Make your damn pitches. Grandal has to be accountable too. Both ought to know better than what just happened.

 

I don’t know, Jeffress wasn’t locating well. So you walk Suarez and if you miss like that to VanMeter you prolly still get away with it. If you don’t like Jeffress throwing to a lefty get Claudio. Either way better than pitching to Suarez and letting him beat you.

 

I’m not a fan of putting the go ahead run on first base.

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

Well, that sucks. Cool comeback. Bad bullpen. This team is a couple good pen arms from being a true contender. Perhaps I'm too bullish on the rotation.

No.....it was right down the middle.

Fat city.

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

Pina needs to go away too. Can’t hit.

 

Pina has been good with the bat lately.

 

My goodness, please read your posts before you hit send.

That one hurts.

You'll be waiting awhile.

 

Brewers media sucks off the organization every chance it gets.

[Bulldogboy]

I'm wondering if the Reds would have pitched to Yelich in the same situation the Brewers did Suarez?? I'm thinking no. Craig will say go ahead run on base?? That's dumb. Not really but I bet he will use that as defense.

Maybe if he was standing on the edge of home plate.

Oh, I’m sure Tom Haudricourt and Chuck Freimund will ask all the tough questions tonight

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

Oh man ... that sucks.

 

Bummer that they have a closer that can't go on back-to-backs.

 

Hader did pitch Saturday and Sunday.

 

12 pitches in each game. I know they are careful with him, but that doesn't seem like a lot.

Chuck: Have you ever been to Lomira?

[willie key]

This reminded me of jeffress in the playoffs. Counsell overused him then. Three days in a row was too much to ask.

I’m generally not either but such a huge difference between Suarez and VanMeter that it made sense.

[Fear The Chorizo]

I don't know if the decision to IBB Suarez is as cut and dry as we all think with hindsight being 20/20 - it's rare to put on the go ahead run in the 9th when you have a lead unless you are looking at a great hitter with a platoon advantage. The book is typically to make that go ahead run hit his way on to score, which is exactly what Suarez did. Had they walked him he was going to face a lefty hitter who could still tie the game with a single, and had he gapped one Suarez probably scores from first and we're all pissed he walked him to face a lefty.

 

JJ just made an awful pitch, and I also question Grandal's pitch selection in that spot when he was throwing hangers all inning. However you slice it, that's a gut punch in a game that about 45 minutes ago nobody saw as being a bad loss until Saladino hit another salami. Maybe the better approach is to go after Suarez on the fringes of the zone to see if you can get him to chase in that spot to get himself out.

Agree with this.

[Jopal78]

Anyone remember how the 2017 Brewers missed out on the playoffs by one game....

Batting .278 this month. Granted it's 18 ABs, but he is a backup to an ironman-type All-Star catcher.
