[willie key]

So who the heck is the 8th inning guy tonight?

 

Boxberger?

Boxberger?

 

Probably.

[Simba2020]

9:35 next pitch.

[sveumrules]

You think they keep winning with this poor of an offense??

 

Look how frustrated everyone is every night in the game threads over the lack of offense.

 

Go check the stats posted in the offense thread in the ML forum. The offense has been fine since the Adames trade. Those that are complaining are using an outdated view of things. Unsurprisingly.

 

Yup. Brewers have scored the 4th most runs & won thee most games in MLB since the Adames trade.

 

Even if you want to look at the whole season, the Brewers are 16th in runs per game, so much closer to average than poor.

Retro Hader coming back, he’s going 2.1

[rickh150]

Brewers and Bucks vying for my attention here…. End of games matching up fairly well.

[Cool Hand Lucroy]

Two righties in the 8th for the Reds, two lefties in the 9th. So, probably Box then Hader by any calculation (yes, I know we know Hader gets the ninth no matter what these days anyway).

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

Yeah Jace, that's a strike

[BruisedCrew]

Lorenzen is back. I hope they don’t let him hit.

[rickh150]

Would you walk Wong?

[yourout]

Never in my wildest dreams did I think Jace would have a OPS of .830 and OBP of almost .400 after 100 ABs.

I doubt Jace did either.

Haines magic.

[PinaMadness]

Hey, a bad call went our way. Who knew?

[pacopete4]

Damn.

[brewers888]

I know Box has had a good year but I will never trust him.

[Simba2020]

Home run derby pitch.

[adambr2]

Dammit. This one would sting.

[Simba2020]

I guess that injury might explain that pitch.

[82brewcrew82]

That superior bullpen is going to get tested big time now.

[BruisedCrew]

So, I guess the Brewers bullpen sucks too.

[brewers888]

Strickland and Cousins have to move up in the pecking order.

[Bulldogboy]

Why if Box was hurting didn't he say so in the pen?? Ugh.

[rickh150]

July 30 deal for the pen…

[brewers888]

July 30 deal for the pen…

 

Stearns has pretty much always come through with that and usually pretty cheaply.
