2020-08-08: Reds (DeSclafani) at Brewers (Anderson) [Brewers lose, 4-1]

[Eye Black]

 

Brett Anderson: Batter (Reds) vs Pitching Stats

 

Anthony DeSclafani: Batter (Brewers) vs Pitching Stats

[Eye Black]

For his career versus Anthony DeSclafani, Christian Yelich is 8-for-18 with 3 doubles and 2 home runs.

 

Today would be a good day for a Yelich breakout game offensively.

Some pre-game notes from Craig Counsell:

 

- Ryan Braun needs to get at-bats vs. live pitching, so he won't be activated tomorrow.

 

- Garcia will be back in the lineup today. Sogard's foot has been bothering him a bit so it was unclear if he would be playing today

[stalton]

I bet we need to let Brett, the vet, get set to be the......best?

[MrTPlush]

Brewers wearing their best uniforms tonight I see.

[MrTPlush]

Hiura is an absolutely terrible fielder....just terrible. The way he boots grounds balls like that is embarrassing.

 

Welp...almost time to turn this team off...probably some fixer upper show on TV.

[BruisedCrew]

Hiura is an absolutely terrible fielder....just terrible.

 

But at least he’s not hitting.

 

Another night of turning the game off early.

[folly412]

Well, that was a quick game.

[ReverendBrewmeister]

Hour earlier start than last night. Not much change in results so far.

[trwi7]

So this just happened.

 

"Hey grandma, the Brewers are... *Suarez swings* nevermind."

[BruisedCrew]

Logan Morrison batting fourth is all you need to know about the ineptitude of the Brewers offense.

[brewers888]

This team is not only bad but not very interesting to watch.

[BruisedCrew]

Looks like the “games with 9 or more K’s” streak is intact for another night.

[brewers888]

I don't know if any big deals will be made at the deadline but I think this team needs to cash in on Hader.

[brewers888]

Looks like the “games with 9 or more K’s” streak is intact for another night.

 

It wouldn't be so bad if we at least had the power to go along with all the strikeouts but we just can't hit at all.

[trwi7]

Hiura throws like a 5 year old learning to throw for the first time.

[markedman5]

So much for Hiura’s defensive improvement

[BruisedCrew]

And people scoffed when I suggested that Hiura looked like he could be the next Randy Ready.

[MrTPlush]

Keston Hiura is a DH. He looks like a high schooler from a small town fielding.

[Oxy]

Time to DH H(e4)a.

[brewers888]

You just hate to put a guy as young as Hiura at DH but what other choice do we have. Let Urias have second base when he comes up and just accept Arcia as the every day shortstop. Its not like we have a legit bat to DH anyway.

[folly412]

Might need to try a toss to Arcia to make the throw if he's gonna air mail it that badly.

[yfinn6]

Does Hiura have the yips? Looks like it.

[brewers888]

Hiura reminds me so much of Weeks. Elite bat speed, tons of strikeouts and awful defense.

[MrTPlush]

Does Hiura have the yips? Looks like it.

 

That would infer he typically has fielding skills...he does not.
