2021-07-11: Reds (Castillo) at Brewers (Woodruff) [Brewers lose, 3-1 -- Crew hits a speed bump heading into the All Star Break]

[Oxy]

Box is our #3 and AT LEAST half the league would love to have his production as their #1, particularly our current opponent and competition for the division championship.

[pacopete4]

Boxberger has a whip of 1.13 and and era under 3. He has struck out something like 48 and 37 innings. Why on earth does he get so much hate on here?

 

"Here" Just isn't true. Perhaps a poster or two who hate on everybody. Keeps the board interesting and interactive, I guess.

 

Literally every time he comes in there are post(s) about how bad he is and how he will probably give up some runs

 

Yep. It’s been pretty consistent all season long. I called it out once before as well. It’s ridiculous. Stats are easier to find these days than ever. This isn’t that hard.

[pacopete4]

Could be a bigger injury for the Reds depending on what it is.

Give me Strickland and possibly Cousins and Sanchez (need to see a little more from them) as the number three option in the bullpen.

[trwi7]

Although we really should all be watching the soccer game because they're just confirming all the stereotypes.

 

[Zad Fnark]

Haven't we knocked around Doolittle before?

[brewcrewdue80]

Brewers on statcast. .160 xba. Mentioned Narvaez 3 outs for 2 likely hits. Urias ..740 just now. Simply lineout. Not even babip luck go our way this series.

I'd rather watch water drip from my faucet.

An abundance of riches! I don't disagree. We have a great bullpen that I wouldn't trade for anybody else's in the league, bar none.

Yeah, but he looks like my dentist. No tats, no hair, no scowl... not a good reliever

Boxberger has 37 innings pitched as a Brewer this season. Strickland, Cousins and Sanchez have 28 innings as Brewers combined. All three have looked good so far, but that is the definition of a small sample size.

Yelich has to get straightened out.

Yelich has to get straightened out.

I think you should mention this every single at bat.

[adambr2]

Our .132 hitting seldom used backup catcher has as many homeruns as Christian Yelich at the AS break. Jackie Bradley Jr. has more.

[edfunderburk]

Has anyone else on the Tampa Rays struggled to hit the ball at The Trop or is it only Adames?

Never heard it mentioned before.

I was with you on the first part. Then you totally lost me on the second part. There are not 15+ teams that would use Brad Boxberger as their closer/#1 option in the pen. That's a major exaggeration. He's been very solid for us and I'd pretty much leave it at that.

[trwi7]

Our .132 hitting seldom used backup catcher has as many homeruns as Christian Yelich at the AS break. Jackie Bradley Jr. has more.

 

Jacob Nottingham, Adrian Houser and Eric Lauer have as many home runs combined as Yelich in 56 at bats.

[Sir Illo]

Uh blocking the bag much?

[trwi7]

I think he's out.

[Eye Black]

There’s just no way with certainty you can say his foot left contact with the base.

[Cool Hand Lucroy]

And here comes the dumbest replay use in sports....

[DHonks]

Shouldn’t be overturns because can’t see if cleat came off

[brewers888]

Total joke.
