2021-05-27: Padres (Weathers) at Brewers (Houser) [Brewers win, 6-5 in 10 innings -- Houser with a stellar start; Adames tallies 4 hits; JBJ hits the walk-off winner]

There's just something wrong when that swing is missing the pitches it misses.

 

Is Hiura still under warranty? Can we get a replacement? He's broken.

[Warning Track Power]

I honest to God thought that was where the slump was going to end. Hiura needs a complete revamp with his toe touch and swing.

[ReverendBrewmeister]

I’ll only say this once today and leave it at that... I really like Adames’ swing. Early on with the Brewers he looks like such a better hitter than his previous stats indicate.

 

Agreed. If that develops into production on the field for Adames, it could be a long-term solution to the shortstop position.

 

Even better would be if Urias' hit tool also turns from potential into production. Then you've got a solid 2B/SS combo for after Wong's departure.

[SomewhereInTime]

It's just weird. I've never seen a young player struggle like Hiura has. He gets more centercut pitches than anyone, but it's by design because he cannot hit pitches out over the plate. I guess I wish I know more and wish I could diagnose what's wrong with the swing and why it's missing these hittable pitches.

I'm much more wait and see. I really hate the high leg lift.

A lot of it is mechanical.

We need more Freddy Freeman like mechanics and much less movement and launch angle.

It works for some (Justin Turner) but its definitely tougher to get your timing right. Just imperative to get the foot down early.

[Warning Track Power]

It's amazing how bad Cain, Hiura and JBJ look. LAUNCH ANGLE!!

[trwi7]

If only Daniel Robertson could hit a ball as hard as he can throw his bat.

There is far more that it hurts. Especially with todays pitching.

[jonescm128]

Houser is up this inning. Time for some offense.

[titletownking]

I am so tired of Avisail’s defense . He is bad. Period.

[BruisedCrew]

Garcia misread that one. Hopefully it doesn’t open the floodgate of stolen bases.

[titletownking]

It happens all the time. He has no errors because he routinely misreads balls and there is not a play on them. Gets maybe the worst jump for an outfielder I’ve seen in some time.

[BruisedCrew]

Bloop hit that should have been caught and a catcher’s interference error. Shades of Tuesday when the Brewers gift wrapped runs and played themselves out of the game.

They gave us a runner back. Ha

[BruisedCrew]

Even if Hauser gets out of this inning, that misplay to start the inning has made him work harder than necessary.

Had no idea this was David Weathers' kid. I feel old.

Not sure if you're watching the broadcast but they showed a picture of David Weathers and his wife with infant son and Miller Park under construction in the background. Now that infant is on the mound pitching and Miller Park. Amazing.

Right before the season MLB network had a segment of interesting names in one of the leagues, I think it was an amateur league of some kind for college players, not minors but I can't remember for sure. One of the kids listed was named Center Fielder. As best I could find it was not a relation to Prince's family though.

I joined Brewerfan the year Prince was drafted. Yikes!

[BruisedCrew]

Another defensive blunder gives the Padres a scoring chance.

[Hopper]

Are we sadists or masochists?

I can never remember which one likes to have pain, and which one likes to administer pain.

"Fielded by Adames...what a play by Urías!"
