2021-07-24: White Sox (Rodón) at Brewers (Burnes) [Brewers win, 6-1 -- Rowdy hits a pair of home runs, receives curtain call]

[markedman5]

There will be ton of Milwaukee fans in Chicago when they play too. It’s only an hour and a half away

 

The Brewers don’t play the White Sox down there. Just like with the Cubs, there are more flatlanders that come here than the other way around because the park here is nicer and more accessible than theirs.

 

And because there are a lot more people in Chicago then Milwaukee…….

[wildcat83]

Hilarious to hear Sox announcers reaction to Suter’s pace. In their defense it’s inter league so not like they would be well versed on our pen.

 

“This guys from a different era”

I’m going to Cubs game in august. I guarantee there will be a ton of brewers fans there

 

The fact is there are just more Cubs fans than brewers. That’s just a fact

 

 

Is considerably cheaper to go to a brewers game than Cubs. You will always see a ton of Cubs fans in Milwaukee. But sell the brewers fans short

[wildcat83]

I know this isn't going to be popular but I question whether they are going to trade for a big bat.

 

I agree and pen may be the same. Add Houser and Lauer to the pen with short rotation in playoffs. I think they’ll inquire about bats and arms, but think it’ll have to be a deal on their terms.

And What position would be filled? 1B maybe…. and at what cost? We aren’t swimming with top minor league talent. I have to agree now. I feel they’ll get a bat, but it is hard to see a big bat coming here batting in the middle of the order.

[rickh150]

Suter dealing…

Depends on your definition of "people"...

[yourout]

I'm sure they won't do it but I really think Hader should pitch the 9th

[oldguy]

Of course he walks the next guy.

 

Really obnoxious how many White Sox fans are here. There should not be this much of a mixed crowd against us on our field when we're having a great year.

AmFam Field has problems. Again I heard the radio announcers talking about a late arriving crowd. The problem I have experiences is not folks arriving late, it's the lack of organization getting people into the park. It is taking toooooo loooong. We were outside the stadium stuck on the highway 1 hour before game time. We rushed as fast as we could and could not get to our seats until 1 out left in the 2nd inning. Others have mentioned quicker ways in but if you're not local that is not of much help. There was no traffic control until you reach the lots. Big Deal by then! Makes you think twice about going and shucking out big bucks when you miss about 1/4 of the game while in lines going nowhere. Today is even a bigger crowd. You know some of those folks won't get to their seats until the 4th. I am probably going to give going one more try, if I experience the same situation....I'm done. Many of my friends have said the same thing....they are not going- too much of a hassle.

[willie key]

This is good suter

[folly412]

I'd give the 9th to Hader since he needs some work. If for some reason that's not the idea, letting Suter finish this out would be my second choice.

 

Edit: Good call, Craig.

[adambr2]

Suter is a real head scratcher to me. I watch him throw and think "I could hit this guy" (yeah, I know I actually couldn't), I have almost no confidence in him, and yet time after time look him up and there he is with an ERA in the low 3s.

[markedman5]

Rowdy……Rowdy

[BruisedCrew]

I think Rowdy is scoring a KO in the battle with Hiura.

[pacopete4]

Our first basemen has arrived.

[willie key]

If rowdy is going to hit

 

 

Then this changes things

 

 

Rowdy can be a better vogelbach

I’d go with Hader. His last few outings have been shaky so give him an inning now with a cushion and he’ll still be available tomorrow if needed.

[DuWayne Steurer]

DFA shaw. Send Huira down. I'm totally ok with keeping both Rowdy and Vogelbach.

[willie key]

Can we trade jbj for a bullpen arm

 

Or maybe a back up broadcaster

[sarcasm]Then I would do the opposite[/sarcasm]

[Eye Black]

Great to see Rowdy showing off his power tonight. Agree with those that pointed out he puts together a lot of competitive at bats.

 

Aside from Roc Riggio announcing tonight he’s going to Oklahoma State, this has been a pretty charmed evening for the Brewers.

Shaw will be here over vogelbach. Just because he can play the field

[folly412]

Got to feel good to go from being homeless/playing in a AAA park the past two years to getting a curtain call in a packed house.

[xisxisxis]

At what point does JBJ have to be Superman on defense to justify a roster spot. Sure he's streaky, but I never thought his good offensive production days would only be on Brewer off days...

 

Dump the Chump!

Yeah, Keston is an easy target because he has no defensive value and a bad bat, but JBJ's 50 wRC+ is not much better than Keston's 57
