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

[Pugger]

With Yeli out we now have 3 big bats out - Yeli, Moose and Huira.

[Pugger]

Thank god for Cain in center here.

[MrTPlush]

The number of pitchers is meaningless in the bullpen. They are going to use the best guys as often as possible when they lead. They are maxing the innings on their “good” arms in the pen. Not like we are going to use AAA fodder in the 5th and 6th to bridge the gap.

[Brew crew 92]

Albers lucky it’s the marlins, in that massive park.

[Lostpawn]

Boy do I distrust Claudio on the mound. Glad to see him pulled.

Anderson has thrown 64 pitches through 4. Yanking him only over works and already taxed pen. Anderson has also not pitched bad tonight. Starters are going to give up runs. It’s part of the game.

 

In August sure I agree but it's like a 50 man pen right now. With the hard contact he's giving up, the walks and his spot coming up there's no reason to keep him out there. He wasn't fooling anyone and benefited from facing a weak lineup.

 

I just think this pen runs out of gas if they keep down this road. They have solid pieces in there but only one horse. Would have liked to see another inning or two from Anderson tonight.

 

I guess the way I see it is, that is how we got to Game 7 of the NLCS last year, and it is the only way we would have made it. We had to use every arm at our disposal and commit to bullpenning and short starts.

 

The rotation this year is no better, we simply can't lean on these guys, we don't have a Sherzer or DeGrom. Maybe Woodruff if he were healthy would be that guy but he's hurt.

 

Now of course this is a much different and worse bullpen than last year too so it may not work...but I get the strategy.

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

10 more outs to get, and we might actually see 10 different pitchers get them.

Numbers say you should think otherwise.

It's just that he's a situational lefty, no matter how hard the broadcast team insists that he's not.

How do you miss a fastball down the middle

[willie key]

Long ways to go. Big out

[Pugger]

Goog grief, we gotta score more stinkin' runs.

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

Long ways to go. Big out

 

Gonna be a long 3 innings unless Suter is the next man up.

[FVBrewerFan]

Said every player who ever player the game.

[yourout]

I don't think 3 is enough.

B team offense has gone into hibernation

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

B team offense has gone into hibernation

 

So they are mirroring the A team offense most nights.

[BruisedCrew]

Still no word on Yelich.

 

Broken knee cap?

[willie key]

Come on bats. We can’t go silent

[Pugger]

Drat. I wonder who will be coming in now...

[adambr2]

I thought Perez was a little faster than that.

It’s a personal experience bias. I’ve seen several poor outings from him, and not so many good ones. That’s all. I suppose that if I watched every game I might think otherwise.

[Bulldogboy]

Adam Dunn had what's considered to be one of the five worst seasons of all time in 2011 when he hit 159 with an ops + 59. Hit 11hr and 46 rbi. Shaw is at 153 with 6hr 13 rbi ops+ 40. This is one of the worst seasons maybe the worst we have ever seen in modern baseball. How is this possible given the jump in offense league wide? It has to be mental. Given that how can you continue to play him?

[willie key]

Still no word on Yelich.

 

Broken knee cap?

 

 

He’s actually dead

 

They are trying to reanimate him for the walking dead

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

Still no word on Yelich.

 

Broken knee cap?

 

BA certainly made it sound cryptic. Until we hear otherwise, though, I'm going to assume its a bruise.
