90% chance of rain - likely looking at a doubleheader tomorrow.

It seems like the Brewers do best with umpires with small strike zones.

So much of the offense revolves around walks that when we don't get any we struggle to score.

Brian Gorman had an average impact of 1.4 runs for Minnesota last night. How is this acceptable for a bad umpire to have as much impact as a star player? How does MLB turn a blind eye to this garbage and allow it to continue?

So we still would have lost 0.6 to nothing.

Or 2-1.4

[PeaveyFury]

Seems unlikely this one gets played.

And on top of strike zone interpretation, no other sport has a replay problem as big as MLB does.

On the plus side, the Marlins just batted around in the first and put up a 5 spot on the Reds. Two of the outs was a sac bunt by the pitcher and on the base paths, and the only way Gutierrez will find the strike zone is if Brian Gorman is behind the plate.

LOL Pat Murphy getting tossed while bringing the lineup cards out is awesome!

If you have MLB.tv they showed it as the broadcast started so you should be able to rewind.

 

Looks like he was jawing at Gorman about last night. I could read his lips saying "That the *expletive* ball game right there"

[PinaMadness]

And the Brewers go down meekly in the first against the lefty.

You know I've made the joke in the past that all they do in NY is flip a coin for replay but honestly, that might be what happens.

An ump's jump got much harder with the box on the telecast and people keeping track of every pitch and publicizing it.

[wibadgers23]

1 run in the last 2+ games.

It didn't get harder at all. A ball is a ball and a strike is a strike. Perhaps they'd get better at their jobs if there were some actual repercussions for their ineptitude instead of what I suspect are slaps on the wrist and being told to do a better job next time.

Has losing Adames, Taylor and Escobar really made that much of a difference?

[phnxcrew]

Well, this Barnes looks like he has absolutely no movement on his pitches at all. I miss the weeks/Braun/hardy/hart days when you’d see 4-5 homers off a guy like this. of course we’d give up 3-4 homers as well. Oh well, please start hitting

[wibadgers23]

Having to sit your all-star catcher two games in a row just because of matchups is really a shame.

[adambr2]

Another lefty that renders the Brewers just absolutely clueless. They've got to learn how to hit some of these guys, because they're not going to get easier lefties in October.

Why wouldn't you play the better player for the situation (not to mention he needs rest days anyways)? Pina has been pretty consistently good versus lefties while Narvaez has been pretty consistently bad versus lefties.
