Sure, maybe, but that was literally his fifth plate appearance of the season.

After what he did last season he doesn't get the benefit of the doubt.

If you're considering demoting a player based on a single game's performance, just cut the guy because he's never going to get a fair shot at your MLB roster.

Tyrone Taylor is our next Gold Glover!!!

[Brock Beauchamp]

Graceful like a drunken squirrel, that play was.

[Cool Hand Lucroy]

Taylor flashing the leather.

I know he got spun a little, but man, that was smoked, and he stuck with it nicely.

[owbc]

.950 xBA on the first TT catch. .660 on the second one. Nice work.

Opposing batters making our starters sweat a lot, again.

[Brock Beauchamp]

This pitching staff needs to start throwing a lot more strikes this season.

This staff has given up so many free runners to start the year.  Feels like it's close to 30 and we haven't even played 4 full games.

[adambr2]

Did anyone in our starting rotation participate in spring training?

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

Not a good start to the season for this starting pitching staff. At all.

[adambr2]

More free runs for the opposing teams.

Walking the 8 and 9 guy is so frustrating.

[markedman5]

Ump doing Houser no favors but still way too many walks for The whole staff ……..down again.

[NBBrewFan]

I wish there was a metric to measure least entertaining MLB team because my eye test tells me the Brewers are the run away leader.

[Cool Hand Lucroy]

If it weren't for Taylor it might be 4-0. 

Definitely shaky from the pitching early on. They'll be fine.

Be nice for the offense to put together a real inning. Had maybe one of those all year.

Yea, the pitch to Chirinos could have been called, but hes been all over, so he wont get any favors.

Ugh. I thought they would rotate it, but looking at it those "rivalries" appear to be a shotgun wedding with no divorce possible.  I'd be much happier if they just added a home/away for the "rivalries" (2 series) instead of 4 series per year.  But I guess the single city rivalries are just so important that we have to pretend a rivalry exists between the Brewers and Twins (or Seattle and San Diego, or Detroit and the Pirates, or...).  I'd much rather have Cleveland since we are the 2 teams with the longest WS win droughts in baseball. 

4 times = 4 games, not 4 series. It stays exactly the same as it is now, 2 road games, 2 home games. Considering all the other AL matchups will be 3 games we simply play the Twins 1 extra time.

[Joseph Zarr]

Gotta love taking advantage of a blown strike 3. That's what a professional hitter does. Love what I see from McCutcheon in this early season.

[stoutdude04]

Hopefully the Brewers can capitalize on a missed strike like the Orioles did.

[owbc]

Time for Renfroe to knock 3 or 4 in. 

[Joseph Zarr]

Zimmerman appears to be finding his inner Brustoski. Let's go Renfroe!

[brewers888]

Pitiful job from the offense. 

[stoutdude04]

Predictable.  Walk 2 guys in front of you and swing at a first pitch curveball no where close.

Renfroe has always been a streaky guy, and I know he'll get hot. The extreme early returns are not encouraging, though.
