2021-07-21: Royals (Keller) at Brewers (Lauer) [Brewers lose, 6-3 -- Crew allows 5 unearned runs]


Eye Black
Stop pitching Suter in close games over better options. And the defense has been very poor today.

 

With Williams and Boxberger out, who are those better options that can get you to the 9th inning?

 

This is a pretty shaky bullpen right now, especially with Hader going through a rough stretch.

Note: If I raise something as a POSSIBILITY that does not mean that I EXPECT it to happen.

I like Cousins over Suter for sure.

Then who for the 7th and 8th.?

Strickland? Gustave? I don't deny that bullpen is a need. I just have no confidence in a junkball soft tossing lefty that has no stuff and relies purely on deception as anything more than a LOOGY which unfortunately doesn't really have much of a role in the modern game.

And that's possibly the game. Thanks, Suter. Thanks, defense.

 

Cant give a major league team 5 outs in an inning. Not sure that is Suters fault.

 

It wasn't exactly soft contact. he was hit fairly hard. but yes, the defense should have gotten out of that with only a run scored.

I would not consider either groundball that was booted hard hit.

He gave up 4 hits this inning. He didn't get much help, but I'm not going to make excuses for a guy who gave up 4 hits and a lot of hard contact in 1 inning.

Suter is already an iffy choice, then you make him try to get 5 outs... yeesh

Again, defense should have made both of those plays but what about the double to right? Or the single to center by Dozier? Those were smoked. and Santana hit his hard as well.

I still have high hopes that Ashby can make an impact out of the pen, but his debut certainly was deflating. I think Hader's immediate impact in MLB probably has thrown my expectations out of whack for Ashby. He's probably not going to be that guy.

Should have been out of the inning after 2 hits. Also, the 'hit' on the ball to Wong was debatable.

The hit to right should never have happened. The Dozier hit was off the label and wasnt smoked.
