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]

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

Man our offense is hard to watch.

 

Chase gives up more then 2 rubs for the first time in 2 months and we can't score more then 1 unearned run against this loser?

 

Sunday was rough, but I could at least understand it against Minor. He's been good a long time. But scuffling against a junk pitcher like Perez? Yeah ...

 

Once rosters expand in a couple weeks, the Brewers may not face many righty starters. The scouting report says they can be neutralized by any junk lefty.

[jason21nl]

Peralta walked a guy? Nooooooo way!

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

Trey Supak tonight ... 2/3 of an inning, 8 ERs. Woof!

[folly412]

Pineapple's still got it.

But was Freitas catching?

[adambr2]

Sweet. Crappy lefty here to shut down the Crew! /blue

 

Teams are going to do it the rest of the year against the Brewers. The front office made this bed, and now they are unfortunately forced to sleep in it. I totally understand that lefty power plays well in Miller Park, but this team went overboard with it, and is now paying the price.

 

I've been beating the drum for awhile that this team is getting too lefty heavy and it is going to make it especially difficult to compete against teams like the Cubs and Dodgers and have been met with mostly skepticism.

 

It was bad enough last year when it just came into play in the NLCS, but now it's coming into play against everyone. We desperately need an impact RHB bat in this lineup.

 

I can't imagine where this offense would be against LHP without the emergence of Keston Hiura. It's been bad enough WITH him.

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

Man Manny has a terrific arm back there. If this team had more offensive consistency, I'd have no problem with him being the #1 again.

This is the same guy everyone wanted to see called up to make a start last week...smh

[nate82]

Brewers rank 26th in runners left in scoring position with 3.57 runners left in scoring position per game. The Nationals are also stranding at 3.57 per game.

 

Only Detroit (3.63), Tampa Bay (3.65), Boston (3.72) and Philadelphia (3.79) are worse.

Yep .. good thing they got Jordan Lyles. Pretty dang deft move.

When he's good he's very, very good but when he's bad he's horrid?

[brewmann04]

The brewers at the start of the season figured their line up was going to be hitting likr gangbusters.

[Eye Black]

Man Manny has a terrific arm back there. If this team had more offensive consistency, I'd have no problem with him being the #1 again.

Somewhat surprisingly Piña and Grandal have had identical caught stealing percentages this season (coming into tonight) at 29%.

But was Freitas catching?

 

Yep - [sarcasm]there goes his September call-up.[/sarcasm]

 

 

Supak's following in Zack Brown's steps in his move to AAA. Not good.

[adambr2]

Well, at least 3 more shots this inning with RISP. Buckle up.

There's just too many streaky and platoon-types for that to be realistic.

I thought these kind of AAA concerns for pitching would disappear when they left Colorado, but obviously not.

[yfinn6]

Shocked, SHOCKED, Perez couldn't even get the runner to 3rd. Sweet at bat.

[Brewcrewin07]

LOL I wish the Brewers could live in the Cardinals world post ASB...getting to play the Pirates 9 times, then coming off a series sweep against them, get to play the Royals.

Grandal has actually been solid in that part of the game. He's a good framer as well. Was the upgrade worth the cost, though?

[Bulldogboy]

In the old days Perez would at least try to hit a ball to the right side. Not anymore.

[willie key]

At this point. Just bunt the guy to third. These hitters haven’t earned the right anymore

 

 

They ****** suck at this

[Brew crew 92]

But was Freitas catching?

 

Yes, and obviously has done a terrible job pitch calling, but he is 1-1, ave up to .385 now.

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

Captain Obvious: This team struggles with station-to-station baseball.

[adambr2]

There's the cherry on top with our roster management vs LHP. Having to constantly use lefties on lefties for pinch hitters because we have no righties to use.
