2019-09-14: Brewers (Lyles) at Cardinals (Flaherty) [Brewers win, 5-2]

[pacopete4]

Arcia plays the way he should play. I’m sure as heck glad he does too. It’s a game. It’s supposed to be fun. I’m sure he would love his stat line to be better but he’s still an important piece for us and his teammate seem to love him.

 

I partially agree with you. I don't have a problem with the way he plays. However, I also don't think he's an important piece for us. The beautiful plays he makes from time to time aren't enough to offset his many deficiencies. I think we've been more than patient and his time has come and gone and it's time to look in a different direction in the offseason.

 

I think there is something to team chemistry. I believe he’s a big part of that. I wouldn’t mind giving him one more year to flip the switch as he’s just entering prime years but understand if they do move on. I will say the Brewers don’t have a great track record with moving middle infielders.

The game for us is @2 minutes behind.

Yep. To add to that, there really isn't anything in the minors that is waiting in the wings at SS, and the free agent market is pretty bare at the position as of right now.

I'm not a fan of this pitching change to be honest. I hope Guerra doesn't walk the first hitter, then give up the bomb, which I can see happening...

 

EDIT: I suppose walking Goldy isn't that horrible...lol

[yourout]

Any bets on Junior walking the first guy he faces?

 

I says it's 50/50 and will go with him walking the first batter.

[MDCrew]

No not Guerra!!

[82brewcrew82]

Arcia pumped the end of the season is coming up so his BA stays above .200 and his OPS will be above .600

 

I will be happy when Arcia is off the team.

 

When a player struggles as badly as Arcia, I'd like a little less playful enthusiasm and a little more grouchy self criticism. But Arcia plays with the looseness of a productive star, even though he's an easy out.

At least he isn't on your lawn.

I'm not crazy about Guerra here. Would personally have preferred either of Peralta or Black.

They have to think about catcher, third. short and first (at least from the right side) in addition to some arms. One of those offensive positions is going to be subpar offensively. I'd rather it be Arcia.

[yourout]

The plate ump has been inconsistent as heck.

[Brew crew 92]

Why is no one up in the pen?

[adambr2]

Good job Guerra.

 

Although I can't be the only one who thinks he gets away with more middle middle misses of his spot than anyone else on the pitching staff.

[yourout]

Well done Junior.

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

Why is no one up in the pen?

 

Because they have a 3 run lead, there's two outs, and a guy on 1st. And fortunately this team's manager isn't prone to panic as quick as some fans are.

[Brew crew 92]

Hiura and Woody will make this team so much better.

[ThisIsMyCrew]

Hiura and Woody will make this team so much better.

 

Odd timing for this post. Don’t disagree, just odd timing.

[pacopete4]

Woody and Hiura were cancers to this team. I mean just look at their record since those bums got hurt.

[yourout]

Unless/Until they fix his mechanics Arcia is a lost cause.

Did you forget to put this in blue?

Well, to be honest, that could have went south quickly with Guerra on the mound. Having someone up in the pen is a completely normal situation for most teams in that situation.

 

Goldschmidt and Ozuna at bat with a guy on first and this is a one run game, or tied up pretty damn quickly the way Guerra throws meatballs at times.

[Pugger]

Vintage Arcia.

It has burned him at times this year, but I respect the faith that Counsell has it this team's relievers.

Big game I know but wouldn't mind saving Josh for a closer game.

3 runs? I this house of horrors? I don't think I trust any lead in this dump against this team.

[Pugger]

I don't mind CC for using Hader here. These are must wins.
