2020-09-25, Game 2: Brewers (Lindblom) at Cardinals (Ponce de Leon) [Brewers lose, 9-1]

I don’t think Lauer is quite as terrible as everyone is making him out to be here.

 

He's not this bad, but I don't really see the upside that others see, either. This isn't Josh Hader stuff.

[yourout]

Frankly I'd be okay if they flush the whole coaching staff other than council

[adambr2]

Well, the Packers look pretty good.

Doesn't throw hard but at least he doesn't have control as well.

I’m not saying he’s Josh Hader (or ever will be) by any stretch, but I think he can been an okay backend starter or middle reliever. That isn’t exciting, but it also doesn’t deserve being called “garbage”.

Well we have seen him four times and he has been terrible three of them. I dunno. Padres gave him up and they know him better than anybody. They seem to know what they are doing in the front office.

[brewers888]

Yeah Lauer can throw 100 pitches tonight. Its obviously early but I can't imagine a trade looking any worse than this one has so far.

Well....what he's showing tonight and has shown this year is the definition of garbage.

 

I hope he can get to the point where he's an okay backend starter or middle reliever, but at this point he doesn't even belong on an MLB roster much less fit either of those definitions.

I know you are trying to be positive but you also seem to like Urias and both of them have been terrible.

I don't want to see any of these ham and eggers that Stearns brought in here back next year. Not one. Gyorko's been good but I don't see him duplicating this next year. Rooting for this team is like nails on a chalkboard, and it's all Stearns's fault. I'm going to need psychotherapy on Monday when this nightmare finally comes to an end.

[bm1090]

Win two in a row and we have the tiebreaker over STL, meaning they would have to sweep their DH vs. Detroit to get in over us. Also would have the tiebreaker over SF in event of a tie. Lose the tiebreaker to the Phillies, Marlins and Reds.

 

Need the Padres to win tonight.

[mtrebs]

I actually hope we get no-hit now, even if it doesn’t count. If you’re going to go down, go down in flames.

No doubt this has been the least enjoyable Brewers team in quite awhile. Not only are they bad but they are boring and a pretty unlikeable bunch.

[folly412]

Maybe if he had exciting stuff, but watching Lauer struggle to locate 83 mph fastballs and make me count out a pitch clock adds insult to injury.

[Eye Black]

Well we have seen him four times and he has been terrible three of them. I dunno. Padres gave him up and they know him better than anybody. They seem to know what they are doing in the front office.

Well if he’s had three bad outings they should probably cut him I guess. Corbin Burnes gave up 11 home runs in his first four outings (17 innings) last season, I can’t believe the held onto him either.

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

Keston just needs to be done for the year. He is terrible.

Difference being that Burnes has elite stuff and looked great in 2018. Lauer just looks like a run of the mill junkball lefty with control issues.

Watching this team play baseball is like eating nothing but lettuce everyday.

Yes it's technically food but it's neither enjoyable nor filling.

We don't need to cut him but it's a far cry from your he seems ok to me take. He's been in Appleton because he sucks. That's all I'm saying. Nothing I have seen tonight makes me think bringing him back was a good call.

[Eye Black]

I know you are trying to be positive but you also seem to like Urias and both of them have been terrible.

Look, I’m not ready to pull the rip cord every time something doesn’t go well. I can show you comments from posters last April that were ready to be done with Brandon Woodruff as a starting pitcher. I get that the definition of the IGT is to be reactionary to what’s occurring, I do it plenty as well. I also think lets maybe wait a little bit before we make every definitive judgement.

[mtrebs]

If Jace Peterson is on the Brewers next season I don’t know if I’ll watch.

Or celery. That's worse. And more accurate.

[brewers888]

I expect both him and Sogard to be back.

+1

 

Of course, I've been on Hiura's case, but that is with the caveat that he is young and extremely talented, so that makes his performance this year all the more frustrating.
