2020-08-03: White Sox (Rodón) at Brewers (Anderson) [Brewers lose, 6-4 -- Home Opener]

[folly412]

I am sick and tired of all the digital advertisements all over stadium and field. My god...hopefully this ends when fans can line the pockets again.

 

Yes, they're an eyesore on TV. Regular signs are perfectly fine.

 

Possibly the second most annoying advertising thing. I've been to minor league games where they got sponsors for foul balls. And it was every. single. one. So 200 times during the game, the PA announcer comes on and says "foul ball brought to you by..."

[Eye Black]

That pop up to center field makes me a little nervous for what’s to come with Garcia in CF.

[MrTPlush]

You know in little league where everyone is like, “Just throw the ball!”

 

That’s what Arcia should have done with the ball to 3rd base.

[Eye Black]

Look forward to seeing Gamel get a chance against LHP this series. He has reverse splits and is a career .765 OPS hitter against left handed pitching.

[stoutdude04]

I see they switched the error to a hit. 4 infield hits out of 5. That's absurd.

[markedman5]

Man lots of soft contact against Anderson that are not turning into outs......

[stoutdude04]

Grandal getting a generous zone. I liked it better when he did that for the Crew.

[markedman5]

Great job by Anderson.......he deserved better

[stoutdude04]

Hoping they take Anderson out. Fastball losing some juice and he really hasnt spotted it well the last inning.

[Eye Black]

Looks like this one is going to be a battle of the bullpens.

I kind of feel like batting Healy leadoff was the DH version of an "opener" for the Brewers tonight. Or maybe CC just wanted to get him 1 at bat and decided leading off worked best?

[PinaMadness]

What? No cutout of Front Row Amy?

[Eye Black]

A lot has been made about how strikeout proof Madrigal is going to be. I guess Burnes didn’t get the memo.

[Eye Black]

Any time I watch Abreu play I think of the fact the Brewers reportedly offered him $60 million back in 2014 when he originally signed out of Cuba with the White Sox.

[wildcat83]

I just got home and see I missed A LOT.

 

We lost two OF

Called up two IF

Healy leadoff

Garcia CF

Gamel RF

 

Literally none of that makes sense, but LETS GO!!!

[NYChez]

A special 5th inning from Burnes, striking out Moncada, Abreu on an 11-pitch at bat, and then Grandal - all with Robert on base.

[MrTPlush]

That’s some hustle by Gamel.

[TURBO]

I seriously want to know the benefit of Garcia in CF and Gamel in RF.

 

Sometimes I think CC just likes to switch things up and be cute with his line-ups.

 

Seems obvious to me that Gamel should be leading off, but CC gets cute and uses Healy there.

 

These are the reasons I scratch my head frequently with CC's line-ups. I know, it's kind of a sin to question him here, but sometimes, the obvious plays are the plays to make.

[Eye Black]

I’m more confident in Gamel right now than just about any hitter in the Brewers lineup. He has a sweet looking swing right now.

[TURBO]

agreed, and he hits 9th...

 

[MrTPlush]

Setting up bases loaded for Yelich? *grabs popcorn*

[PinaMadness]

That's a bold strategy, Cotton. Let's see if it pays off for them.

[TURBO]

Intentional walking Yelich here could be a HUGE mistake...lol

 

BALLS of steel...

[MrTPlush]

Come on man......wow

[pacopete4]

Yelich. Wow. That was gross.
