2019-08-01: Brewers (Anderson) at Athletics (Bailey) 2:37 PM CDT [Brewers lose, 5-3 -- Trent Grisham’s MLB Debut; Bullpen blows lead by allowing 4 runs over final 2 innings]

[KeithStone53151]

0-2 middle in FB... sigh

 

Annoying that his very first pitch to the next batter is literally the exact same pitch...fortunately wasn't punished this time.

[HarveysWBs]

When Moose is bad, he gets into stretches where he pops up a ton of balls. We’re in the middle of one of those, it seems.

[phnxcrew]

No one should seriously consider playing Shaw at this point either. Is that really an opinion? He’s awful this year. We can’t score runs as is. He shouldn’t be on the major league roster for a competing team. I guess the arguments are getting more pointless and irrational as the team drags on. I get giving him a fresh start next year but really?

[TJseven7]

Grossman swung on that one.

[BruisedCrew]

C'mon Yellie...run it out at least a little bit and you could easily be on 2nd

 

Probably not. If he’s running hard he is going to be headed down the line. If the catcher is backing up the throw he would have a hard time reaching second.

 

Maybe seeing he had time to throw caused Profar to lollipop it.

I picked Semien for Beat the Streak today. Two walks. Got me thinking. Supposed you are at 56 games and picked a guy against the Brewers, or just a guy from the Cubs or Cardinals. It's the last game of the season and it comes down to that guy's final AB for the $5.6 million, lol. Now ignoring that you put yourself in the position, would you want the $5.6 million to knock the Brewers out of the playoffs? I know my answer.

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

Time to hang a crooked number here.

[willie key]

The productive out

[homer]

The ole swinging bunt.

[BruisedCrew]

Good luck that Bailey got in the way of a room service DP.

Call me greedy all you want, I'd take the money without a 2nd thought. And that's knowing I would probably only see 50-60% of it by the time the government got their hands on it.

[willie key]

another productive out

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

Hey, it's a run. Nice job rook

[TigerUppercut]

Here's your spot, Yelli. Make it 5-1!!!

[True Blue Brew Crew]

Only took Grisham 2 ABs to achieve a feat that has been damn near impossible with this team. Drive in a run from third without requiring a hit.

Lol, same. I read the fine print the other day. It's about $187k pre-tax if you take the 30 year annuity and $3.2m if you take the lump sum.

Lump sum all the way. Take the money and run.

[BruisedCrew]

Not like this is anything new, but the Brewers are hardly taking maximum advantage of their scoring chances.

 

Yelich has looked pretty bad at the plate the last few days. A lot of late swings on balls he could drive and rolling over and dribbling balls to the right side.

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

I haven't noticed the drumming today. Perhaps the drummers have day jobs?

Hippies don't work! But it is 2 pm, so some of them may still be sleeping.

Hippie math:

 

Hacky sack and weed in the parking lot > drumming inside the stadium

Chants of Over rated when Yelich bats make up for it.

Moose is 2 for 3 today, not bad for a slumping hitter...

[BruisedCrew]

Moose is 2 for 3 today, not bad for a slumping hitter...

 

He’s a slumping hitter. A bunt and a 2 out, nobody on single to left doesn’t change that.

 

The fact that he is bunting with a runner on base and 2 outs tells me that he knows he is struggling.

 

In July, his line was .205/.276/.386/.662. Not what the Brewers need from one of their big hitters.

Spoke too soon. Dangit
