2019-08-13: Twins (Pérez) at Brewers (Anderson) [Brewers lose, 7-5 -- Grandal hits go ahead 3-run HR in 7th; Hader serves up first pitch 3-run HR in 8th]

[adambr2]

Whoa. Counsell sure missed writing Perez into his lineup. Arcia back in the doghouse?

 

Arcia gets some odd, inconsistent treatment from the organization. Counsell does not appear to trust him or believe in him much as a starter. Yet the front office has consistently ignored opportunities to go in a different direction at SS.

 

Either the Brewers are just kind of winging it with Arcia or Stearns and Counsell have different perspectives on him.

I have never seen a group of people that seemingly cares so much about a bad baseball player like Orlando Arcia is. Who cares?? He's not good at baseball. Period. I wish the organization would just be totally done with him and get a SS that can actually hit.

Arcia is a very good glove man that has shown plenty of flashes with the bat ... but, I will admit he is frustrating in that he seems to be slipping at the plate instead of getting better ... the guy just seems afraid of the pitched ball by the way his hips/butt always are going towards 3rd base on his swings. He does not step into pitches with any sort of confidence or authority all too often.

 

Do you hear him scream anytime the pitched ball gets close to him?

[adambr2]

The guy walks the pitcher and Cain immediately hacks at the first pitch inside. Already 0 for 4 w/ RISP tonight. Same old story, one that gets really old.

Orlando Arcia is not good and it is becoming quite obvious his “flashes at the plate” are just hot streaks any other player experiences when they play almost every game. I’m pretty confident the Brewers are giving up on him after this year. It will be more interesting to see if they outright get rid of him or keep him as a utility player.

 

He is young so you can dream he suddenly figures it out...or he just sucks...which is more likely. Regardless as a contending team we can’t keep trotting out one of the worst players in baseball that starts regularly.

[wildcat83]

Cain watches him walk Anderson and thinks man, I better ambush the first pitch or I might not get anything close enough to the plate to swing at???

 

Probably seems worse than it is, but sure seems like we would lead the league in 1 pitch AB.

It’s amazing how we can’t score from leadoff doubles. We let so many pitchers off the hook

[MrTPlush]

Predictable

[adambr2]

Hey, a team that can actually capitalize on a walk.

[wildcat83]

Predictable

 

The HR, or making sure we walk someone first to prevent the solo shot?

Jose Iglesias should have been signed last offseason, will be more expensive this coming season to sign, but he’s worth it, besides GG defense, leads all of baseball with 2 Strike hitting, hustles down the line with everything he has, team leader.

[markedman5]

Ball,hit off the end of the bat......routine fly ball to left......gone.

 

Welcome to MLB in 2019

[willie key]

That’s four straight games giving up a homer for chase. I thought it would be more than that

[adambr2]

Not a super great thing to keep putting runners on for free against the most HR prolific team in MLB.

I can’t call him a team leader until I measure how much dirt on his uniform

[markedman5]

Lol Hiura......

[MrTPlush]

Hiura bad call on defense? Lol, not shocking.

 

Anyone thinking he will ever be decent on defense is fooling themselves.

[MrTPlush]

Predictable

Well I was thinking the homer, but both.

[wildcat83]

Hiura should’ve went for it, but I feel like that’s a ball that Arcia gets to.

[adambr2]

2 out of 3 runs because of walks. STOP walking batters.

[Brewcrewin07]

I have to get this out of my system...it really PO's me that the Cubs basically stole Castellanos from the Tigers at the deadline...5 HR's in 12 games for them. While the Brewers sat idly by and did...nothing. :/ rant over

[Bulldogboy]

When the Brewers line up against teams like the Twins they are up against it unless the pitching is going to hold them down. The bats are just not strong enough at this point and expecting different is foolish. Throw a lefty and it gets even worse.

[BrewersinPDX]

If Freitas was playing first base, he would have stretched farther than Grandal, resulting in the DP. Way to go Stearns.

I've questioned this multiple times. Don't know what they gave up but letting your rival get the thing you needed most is unacceptable.
