2021-06-01: Tigers (Boyd) at Brewers (Lauer) [Brewers lose, 10-7 -- Crew hits 5 HRs including 2 each from Wong and Taylor]

Keston needs to go away for a long time

 

Dude needs to go to AAA for at least 2 months.

 

I was surprised they brought him back up so quick. Was hoping he would have struggled in AAA so he would be forced to revamp his process at the plate. I hope he can turn it around, but wow he is looking bad right now.

 

The decision to bring him back up was terrible. He had a tiny run where he was hitting for power which he pretty much always has when he's hit and during that stretch he was still striking out 40% of his ABs in AAA. There was zero evidence that he had figured anything out on a sustainable level.

Schoop has had one ball with less than 95 mph exit velocity this series.

[wibadgers23]

Derek freakin Holland. There’s just no way we can win an offensive shootout. Five runs is about as many this offense can muster.

[wOOgiE22]

If you told me that the Brewers were going to put up 5 tonight I would have felt good about a win.

[Simba2020]

Taylor showing Hiura how it's done after being recalled.

[wOOgiE22]

Just can’t get it below 2 runs. Hit a HR, give up a HR. Crazy that there are now 4 2-HR games tonight alone.

[phnxcrew]

Looks like hiura has tied up woodruff in the era/ batting average competition. I’d personally like to see a “duel of the fates” montage in great vs. suck

[markedman5]

They just have to send Hiura down……I feel horrible for the kid but this isn’t helping anyone……especially Keston.

Apparently they can put up 6……at least in games they give up 8

[pacopete4]

Six runs but still only six hits.

He should bring Yardley with him.

[wOOgiE22]

Throw. A. Strike.

[folly412]

Hiura may need Burnes' sports psychologist. Hitting .438 in AAA vs. .127 with the highest in-zone whiff rate in MLB just doesn't make sense to be due to mechanics or scouting.

[wOOgiE22]

Yardley and Hiura need a one way ticket to Nashville. Whole lot of suck between those two.

[adambr2]

Someone tell Eric Yardley that a guy with super mediocre stuff needs to be able to throw strikes.

[Simba2020]

Yardley did it with smoke and mirrors last year, WHIP and FIP not very good. This year I think we are seeing pretty much the real Yardley. Hint, he's not any good.

[titletownking]

Yelich is not the same. That injury ruined him.

[Underachiever]

Can someone explain why Hauser came out of the pen? Was there a demotion I missed?

There aren’t major league pitchers in AAA, in game video and little to no advanced scouting. It should surprise no one that he ripped some pitches against weaker competition.

 

He’s most likely on the verge of being removed from the MLB team again. Maybe he figures it out eventually, but given their personnel moves and his struggles he’s not a player they’re going to plan their future around any longer

They were going to a 6 man rotation for a bit to give guys extra rest. Houser wasn't demoted but once Lauer crapped the bed they really don't have any guys capable of going long so it was either burn 6 relievers or let Hauser go as long as he could. I wasn't excited using Hauser there but Yardley and Bettinger don't have what it takes to go 6 innings between them. Probably don't have what it takes to go 4 innings between them...

[markedman5]

A weeks worth of runs all in a loss

[owbc]

Watching the Brewers face Soto is everything that is wrong with baseball right now.

[phnxcrew]

That yelich…. So hot right now! Barf

[timpep]

Yelich not really earning that 12 million dollar raise he's getting next year.

[wildcat2237]

Yelich is not the same. That injury ruined him.

 

I really think that the injury changed him. I think he knew it and inked a deal before anyone would know he's diminished. The Brewers fell for it and it may haunt the franchise for years.
