2021-05-18: Brewers (Woodruff) at Royals (Bubic) [Brewers lose, 2-0 -- Another good starting pitching performance goes to waste]

[Jopal78]

Who is being held accountable for this mess is a question that must be asked every day until proven otherwise. It makes no sense how bad this team is given the supposed talent on hand. Either Stearns has mismanaged the roster my take or the coaching staff is not able to get the most out of the players on hand. Guys like Hiura and Urias appear to get worse with big league coaching makes no sense. Something has to be done. This team is boring and bad. Deadly.

 

 

Umm, the players? The GM, mangers and coaches don’t hit, pitch and play in the field. It’s also not likely that every player on their team is not a major league caliber player, so the answer is the players need to look in the mirror and simply play up to their capabilities.

That’s the 5th time the Brewers have been shutout this season. Four of their five shutout losses have been 2-0.

[Pugger]

This isn't the worst Brewer team I've ever seen, but it may be the least fun to watch.

Can’t disagree much with that. Some of this looks like more than just a rough patch. We’re 25% of the season in now. I’d almost rather see them cut a couple of the AAAA players and call up anyone else who might want a chance to play in the majors. Hiura’s demotion was called for. But other than that, poor play doesn’t seem to have any consequences.

 

What is really nuts is even with this putrid offense right now we are still only 2 and a half games out of first. I wonder whose head(s) will roll if this mess isn't turned around quick...

Not every, but a pretty good handful of this roster is made up of players who simply aren't very good. Roster construction has certainly been a part of the problem. They can't look within and solve a talent and ability problem.

Might not be long before we see Dee Strange-Gordon added to the 40-man and brought to the big league club, Urias can't be relied on to make the routine plays right now. Also, if the offense doesn't wake up tomorrow, Haines should be gone before the plane leaves KC.

Unreal...

[brewmann04]

Terrible Replay a joke and it is killing the game baseball is on the downswing. But this team has two hitting coaches and this team can hit a lick. Maybe it’s not there fault but something needs to happen

[wOOgiE22]

I don’t know if it is the coaching or the players not able/willing to make the adjustments. Sometimes you need a change of voice/perspective to get through to players. Will it work with this squad, who knows? At some point Counsell needs to make a move, just to see if it will jump start this team.

[Eye Black]

The silver lining tonight is the Brewers didn’t make any outs with a runner in scoring position.

Did anyone feel encouraged about how Yelich looked tonight?? He looked awful. Of course so did everyone else.

Yelich hasn’t looked right since he shattered his kneecap almost two years ago.

Correct. At this point I doubt he ever returns to form. That contract is looking very Bobby Bonnila esque.

oh, thats funny. And we need a laugh after that game
