2019-09-10: Brewers (Anderson) at Marlins (Hernández) [Brewers win 4-3 -- Yelich suffers season ending knee cap fracture]

[willie key]

Cubs down 5-2.

 

 

That won’t last long. Padres are garbaggio

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

Is this something that will affect Yelich for next season too?

 

From what I've seen, its a tough rehab, but he should be able to make a full recovery in 3-4 months.

[Jopal78]

Is this something that will affect Yelich for next season too?

 

Guess it depends. If they need to insert screws and wires into the bone fragments so they heal as one piece that’s much worse than a non-surgical fracture.

 

Either way I think it’s non-weight bearing on the leg for 6 to 8 weeks minimum which means no lifting, running or working out

[Bulldogboy]

This wouldn't be the end if Shaw Moose and Hiura were healthy and hitting much less Cain. Unfortunately they are not so I think that's the season. Unless Tyrone Taylor is flying under the radar as mini Mike Trout.

 

I get what you're saying, but at the same time, it certainly wouldn't be the first time that a team rallied and played above their heads to make up for a superstar going down. You see it more often in football ... but it has happened in baseball too.

The good news is they don't have to do it for 80-100 games they only have to play well for 20. They have something to rally around now and it can be done. Hiura and Moose need back now.

[willie key]

I dunno. We are probably done. It's just not our year.

 

I mean crazy things happen, it is baseball, but you're talking Hollywood level miracles at this point. It's just not very realistic. You need just about everything to go right. Bullpen turns back the clock to 2018, Braun turns back the clock to 2012, Hiura returns and him and Grisham rake the rest of the season.

 

I mean, we'll all keep cheering, that's all we can do. It's just quite a gut punch to finally go on a nice run, already be hanging by a thread on injuries and now unbelievably have this happen on top of it. The baseball Gods can piss right off.

 

Well what this does is basically make our lineup even with the marlins these next two games so we might be able to flip a coin and beat them

 

Going to St. Louis could be a disaster though. Cubs are going to have to lose some games this week. Padres and Pittsburgh. We could be four back by Sunday

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

Players knew in the 4th inning, and held it together to take the game.

 

This sucks ... it's a bad, bad deal. But there are a bunch of other very talented players on this team.

Just watched the interview where Stearns breaks the news of the injury and the first question to him by a reporter:

 

"Just how devastating is this, David?"

Well sports journalists aren’t the sharpest knives in the drawer

[Brew crew 92]

Cubs down 5-2.

So are the Cubbies. They are the most overrated team in baseball history.

[adambr2]

My lineup tomorrow would be:

 

1) Grisham RF

2) Cain CF

3) Grandal C

4) Moustakas 3B

5) Braun LF

6) Thames 1B

7) Perez 2B

8) Spangenberg SS

 

After Hiura and Arcia return:

 

1) Grisham

2) Hiura

3) Grandal

4) Braun

5) Moustakas

6) Cain

7) Thames

8) Arcia

 

That's not terrible all things considered. Could score some runs.

Yeah...and what are they supposed to say I guess, but goodness, at least come back with a "What can your team and players do to rally around each other and lift each other up right now?"

[Lostpawn]

1) Grisham RF

Agree completely. And no, this isn’t a AAA team. There’s still a ton of talent here.

[BarneyStinston]

I actually like that last lineup a lot!

[Brew crew 92]

Cards lose > 5 games from the division lead! That’s not over either.

[Bulldogboy]

Is there anyone to bring up to add depth at this point?

I’m all in with Shaw at this point. I want to make the playoffs with Shaw as a regular. How ridiculous would that be

 

Plus I love the big moment and redemption posts every game. That dude must have had 3.5 billion turnaround this is the one........moments this year

 

The Shaw callup for hiura will live in brewer fan infamy. No matter the reason or excuse people will remember that

[willie key]

That I can safely say is over. Barring a sweep this weekend. Which looks unlikely

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

Is there anyone to bring up to add depth at this point?

 

Why would they? They have 5 OFs still on the active roster, and Perez, Spangenberg and Austin who can also play out there.

I’m not listening to you people anymore. You already called it a season months ago.

[adambr2]

Is there anyone to bring up to add depth at this point?

 

Nah. I mean they already still have 5 OFs on the roster (Grisham, Cain, Braun, Gamel, Taylor) not counting Perez and Spangenberg who can play OF and Thames and Austin who can fake their way through it.

 

They still have plenty of bodies when they get Moose and Hiura back, they just need those two back every day.

[willie key]

How many outs in a row will it take for Shaw to get in the .130s range

 

I don’t know if I’ve ever seen that before

Let’s get another pitcher up here.

Probably unwise to call out anyone else for bad hot takes.

Same deal really. Just need to get Woodruff healthy. Everyone who can help is already up. I guess they could bring up Supak but if he hasn't been brought up by now I'd guess he's already been shut down for the season.

[yourout]

So much for picking up a game.

Padres just gave up 3 on two bombs to tie it in the 8th at 8.
