2021-04-05: Brewers (Anderson) at Cubs (Williams) [Brewers lose, 5-3 -- Offense limited to 4 hits while striking out 12 times]

[adambr2]

Narvaez making it a game.

[Baldkin]

OMAR COMING!

[Simba2020]

Who would have thought Narvaez would be our best hitter this year?

[adambr2]

Arcia my man. That pitch went about 55 feet.

[jason21nl]

And Arica follows it up with a rocket for a hit

[adambr2]

Gets robbed on a 400 foot ball the other day, gets his first hit on a little dribbler.

[pacopete4]

Arcia was owed that hit. He’s been hitting the ball hard this season. One of the few that has.

[Vgmastr]

Who would have thought Narvaez would be our best hitter this year?

 

He has the second highest career OBP on the team behind Yelich. He got judged way too harshly on 60 games.

[TURBO]

 

You think the most obvious move is Yelich to 1B? A position he hasn’t played in how many years and that there has been not one indication of him playing this season? That’s the most obvious move?

 

When was the last time Keston played 1B before this year? Seriously? Ever?

 

Yelich to 1B makes sense if he can handle it. He is the worst OFer of the 4 we currently have and he's a huge target. I doubt they make a move like that without giving him a spring training to work it out though. Throwing him out there now wouldn't be wise.

 

It isn't nearly as crazy as you "hinted" at.

[Baldkin]

Chafin is straight off the 82 Brewers.

We're playing Hiura at 1st who never did prior to Spring Training. I think Yelich could pick it back up like riding a bike. Catchers play 1st often with little experience.

[pitchleague]

Which of our announcers is the guilty party that keeps “sniffling” into the microphone???? This has been happening for a couple of seasons now!!!

 

Blow your nose!!!

It isn't nearly as ludicrous as you "hinted" at.

 

It is ludicrous as it was stated that it’s the most obvious move they could make. And I’ll stand by it.

[adambr2]

Yelich isn't hitting worth a darn either. Got to give Hiura more than a week before we start making moves like that.

Yeah I understand that. How long dud it take for them to be okay with Braun at 1b? Didn't he make a partial transition during the season? 2019 was it? When Jesus and Travis struggled themselves off the team?

[TURBO]

It just had to be Sogard, and off of Williams to boot.

 

Grrrrr

[markedman5]

Of course Sogard

[brewcrewdue80]

Typically I'd agree. But Hiura as somebody noted, had the worst in the zone contact last season and it's very obvious hes not making contact on direct middle of zone pitches already. 40%k pct is going to be tough to carry a 220BA. That's not 1b material. Get him figured out in the minors rather than sitting through this pain.

Or just fire Haines to buy him some time.

[adambr2]

Sogard triples off Devin. Because that's just what being a Brewer fan is like.

[Bulldogboy]

Of course. Sogard only stinks as a brewer. So weird.

[Simba2020]

Sogard on his way to another rebound season as a precursor to the Brewers signing him to play third in 2022.

[Eye Black]

The command seems really shaky from Devin tonight. I guess that’s what can happen when you go a full week without throwing in a game situation.

[wOOgiE22]

It would be nice to get a lead in one of these games so our good relievers can actually get some work.

This is one of our good relievers.

The thing I don't understand is why in the heck is he hitting 2nd?? If Wong does get on base what is the odd that Hiura is even making contact to move him along?? I have not like any of Counsell lineups this season.
