2019-07-28: Cubs (Quintana) at Brewers (Davies) [Brewers lose, 11-4]

[Bulldogboy]

The others again. By the way Jeffress is washed.

[DuWayne Steurer]

It's easy to blame Jeffress there but that batter should have never been up.

[BruisedCrew]

So much for momentum.

 

Aguilar and Hiura both messed up that play. Aguilar by not getting back sooner and Hiura by not throwing it a little sooner or, if he was going to wait, a little harder. Then Jeffress can’t pick them up.

[Bulldogboy]

Funny I'm sure Counsell was like we are back in it so throw Jeffress instead of Williams or Jackson. He's the last to know Jeffress is done. Crazy.

[phnxcrew]

Not sure if we even pick up Jeremy’s option next year. How on earth is he this bad?

[adambr2]

A total of 9 times last year we gave up double digit runs.

 

So far this season, we've allowed double digit runs 16 times. 16. It's still July.

[Bulldogboy]

I agree he probably should have been out of it but it's not to much to ask to get a big out once in a while? Jeez.

[yourout]

I got stuck lugging furniture around in the heat so I missed the game.

Guess I got the better end of the deal.

[DuWayne Steurer]

I agree he probably should have been out of it but it's not to much to ask to get a big out once in a while? Jeez.

 

He still needs to buckle down and get the out, for sure. But that is not at all entirely on Jeffress. This still highlights a glaring hole in Hiuras game.

[TJseven7]

They got a Claudio too.

 

Our 3 RHs... nothing.

[Bulldogboy]

No doubt Hiura has some work to do. He looks better than Weeks when he came up so there is that but yeah you are right.

Guys I wish we could cut now:

———————————————-

Aguilar

Saladino

Arcia

Shaw

David Stearns for not bolstering the pitching all season

[Bulldogboy]

The thing that is unbelievable is Jeffress strikes out the first two hitters then walks Ian Happ who was in the minors last week. I'll never understand how guys literally just lose it from pitch to pitch. Been happening all year long.

[yourout]

Davies will now be 1 and 3 with an era over 5 in his last eight starts

[Bulldogboy]

Cubs have 6 hits Brewers have 4 so close game.

[BruisedCrew]

With the off day tomorrow I think Counsell is just giving a bunch of the relievers a little work, knowing that one of Williams or Jackson might have to start Tuesday or Wednesday and the bullpen is going to be severely tested with 9 games in 9 days. He probably doesn’t want anyone in the pen pitching more than one inning today.

[treego14]

Davies will now be 1 and 3 with an era over 5 in his last eight starts

And Stearns stands pat with that and all our injuries...just bring up another AAA pitcher.

 

Brewers are pretenders at the management/ownership level. Money trumps success!

 

We cannot get to the postseason in successive years without blind luck with young guys or previously so-so players having career years.

Oddly, the only one of those I really care to cut is Braun. The difference between Braun and Gamel/Grisham would be so insignificant. The salary is not.

[BruisedCrew]

Just noticed that Goldschmidt is 0 for 3 today as he bids to homer for the 7th straight game.

Yes, we should trade all our bad minor league players for several stud major league players.

[treego14]

Astros 5

Cardinals 0

[TJseven7]

Not sure why Arcia didn't stick with his 2 strike approach from the past. He could be a .290/325/700 hitter with it.

 

He's never going to slug enough to make this attempt work.

[adambr2]

Have we put a ball in play on something other than a popup today?

Man, this place was great the past couple of days. Now we are back to this crap. Lovely.

[Bulldogboy]

There's the Orlando we know. Has a major league team ever been in this bad a shape in the rotation and been a game out of first place? It's unbelievable. They literally have nobody to start the next two games in the whole organization that you would say good call. It is a slap of reality that is for sure.
