2021-06-09: Brewers (Anderson) at Reds (Gutiérrez) [Brewers lose, 7-3]

[BruisedCrew]

Could see that coming a mile away.

 

Pitching Anderson against this lineup is like forfeiting, and we can look forward to it again next week.

[bm1090]

Who’s the leading candidate to take one for the team tonight?

 

Just let Anderson do it.

[phnxcrew]

Defense or not, a guy with an era approaching 5 doesn’t work for this team.

[OldHeidelberg]

Just tuned in to gamecast to see it flip from 3 to 5-1. Figured we were due for a stinker with Anderson starting…

[wOOgiE22]

Ooof Anderson. Just turned it on and already down 4. Maybe the offense can put up a crooked number tonight.

[pacopete4]

Yes, the Brewers need to find another ace type pitcher. Fire Stearns.

[Eye Black]

Brett Anderson isn’t pitching well by any means, but with a couple of slightly different outcomes this could be a 1-0 or 1-1 game right now.

[liveforoctober]

Have to imagine Shaw is on the shelf for a long time. Do we ride with Urias/Peterson, etc or does the old clubhouse favorite Hernan get a call?

[pacopete4]

Braun can play third.

[mtrebs]

Our weakest positions (1st and 3rd) keep getting weaker. Sigh.

[JRob1125]

I'm never comfortable with Anderson pitching. His stuff just looks so mediocre.

Gutierrez has been nothing special in the minors. Lots of innings to catch up, and the Reds bullpen is stressed after yesterday.

Meh. Tough break for Shaw bit he is not really a loss for the Brewers at this point in his career.

[DuWayne Steurer]

As much as it sucks to say it out loud, and I feel bad for Shaw, him being out for a few weeks or longer really isn't a loss at this point. IF anything, it's going to force Stearn's hand in going out and either internally or externally find a replacement. For well over a month he's been brutally bad.

Uh...when your next best option is a Daniel Robertson/Jace Peterson platoon until Wong comes back and Urias can play 3B. Peterson as a strong side of a platoon is a lot worse than Shaw.

[brewmann04]

Shaw still plays a solid third and will be a loss of out for an extended period. As for Anderson whom is the weak link of this rotation.

[JohnBriggs12]

My guess is Urias moves full time to 3rd and they rotate 3 guys at second till Wong returns

[markedman5]

3B Travis Shaw left today’s game with a dislocated left shoulder.

My guess is your Daniel Robertson/Jace Peterson platoon is about just as productive as Shaw has been.

[adambr2]

Rally killing swing by JBJ. Go from bases loaded and 1 out to 2 on and 2 out on one pitch.

[OldHeidelberg]

Says a lot at 58 pitches they pinch hit for Anderson with 2 outs

I get the thinking trying to get a big hit and get back into the game but when your option is Pablo Reyes I don't really see the point.

[OldHeidelberg]

I guess if Lauer is available for 3 innings it doesn’t make much difference, just try to stay in it and don’t waste the bullpen if you don’t.

[mtrebs]

While Shaw has been struggling he still has been coming through in the clutch to drive in runs. I don’t see the Robertson/Peterson platoon being as clutch. Shaw also has been solid on defense.

[Eye Black]

This feels a little like the series games in Philadelphia where I still have faith the Brewers will score some runs, but they probably dug themselves too big of a hole to come all the way back and win.
