Seems like kind of a waste to use O’Neill up to let Adams hit. I bet their outcomes over a year against RHP would be about the same.
Did MM sneak back into the stadium and take over? That some of the worst in game management. How do you burn both Adam and O’Neil in a close game like this?
The rookies are having trouble throwing strikes.
We burned O’Neill. Lets see if it burns us late.
Honestly I’d gone to Mayers because he was already up. Another questionable call!
Does Hicks have the most hittable 100+ mph fastball ever? I used to think Rosie did because his pitches were fairly straight, but Hicks’ heater has some movement. What is it?
Wow. Flaherty, Hudson and Hicks allstruggling with the most basic pitching fundamental. Location, location, location.
I think it’s honestly batter just putting wood on the ball and taking it oppo and the fact he has to rely on his fastball too much due to his command issues.
If you can’t throw your 100mph for strikes (and in general strikeouts), what’s the point of even throwing that hard? He can’t even find the plate.

Something the whole staff needs to improve at.
The team is gifted with something that almost never happens in Hader struggling, and they hand it back with bad bench management and inability to throw strikes. Gonna have to score on the Brewers bullpen once again.
Hicks shouldn’t be used in situations like this right now. In his last 7 games he’s give up 5 runs off 5 hits in 7.1 IP with 6 BBs to 8 Ks.
Hicks blows the save in the 7th, but DeJong saves him from becoming the potential losing pitcher with a nice play for the second out of the inning to keep it tied. Then Hicks comes back with a nice slider to strike out Aguilar.

It seems so with how unreliable he has been lately. However, I think it shows us the general state of our pen now. Options and depth are thin. Glad to see Brebbia coming around lately though.
Not sure who the rain delay helps or hurts. But with the Rockies beating the Phillies, this game takes on a lot of added significance as a loss would drop them into a tie in the loss column.
Rain delay hurts me. Just looked at the radar and this one will blow by quickly, but I need some sleep before work though (live eastern time). Darnit.
Tarp coming off but rain still coming down. Hope Mayer’s can put a stop to these guys when he comes in. Burning ONeil was very questionable. Schildt commented earlier today about succes against bullpens in late innings. Not sure that will work tonight with Adams and ONeill out now, but hoping for the best. Treating the field now. Play should resume soon.
Weather permitting, we expect to resume tonight's game at 10:30 pm CT. pic.twitter.com/m7QDrlCwvS
