I was going to ask if the defense is as bad as it sounds, but I perceive that it is.

...and it HURTS!  Come ON.

[Brewcrew82]

Two unearned runs. 

[brewers888]

Woodruff should have been able to get out of that against the 8 and 9 hitters.

[bulldogboy0733]

Woodruff is just a guy. Sorry to say it but the whole two ace thing is up in smoke.

[brewers888]

This team is not nearly string enough in over areas to overcome minor league defense.

[Eye Black]

I don’t think I’ve ever seen a player celebrate a 2nd inning bloop single in May more than Payton Henry just did. 

[brewers888]

Almost 50 pitches so we should be getting a solid 4 innings or more out of what has been a bad bullpen.

It was a big hit against his former team.

Nope. One of the highest BABIPS in baseball. Good underlying metrics. You don't throw out three whole years of ace-type work over 6 starts. 

[AKCheesehead]

I really had no doubt Henry would come through for them. That’s the way it seems to go when I have time to watch live. 

[brewers888]

We are so lucky to be playing in such a terrible division.

I mean in the grand scheme of things it really wasn’t that big of a hit, former team or not. 

At least not to warrant full blown fist pumps down the line and screaming/hip thrusting after rounding first base.

For a fringe major leaguer like Henry its a big hit.

[brewers888]

I hope Adames can avoid the IL. Not really a fan of Brosseau playing any shortstop.

He wouldn't. Urias is playing shortstop right now, and I'm sure they would call up Turang if he does have to go on the IL.

Either way this lineup needs Adames in it

[brewers888]

Brosseau can't hit or field. He should be in AAA regardless. 

[nate82]

I can see why the Brewers gave up on Henry he has a noodle for an arm as a catcher.  I think Mo Vaughn could steal a base on him.

He came into the day with a .847 OPS in his limited plate appearances (37 PA).

[brewers888]

The last two games we faced good pitching. Today there is no excuse to be struggling against this guy. Yelich just grounded out on a meatball down the middle.

.757 career OPS, .847 so far this year. Hits lefties really well. He's a good backup option. 

[brewers888]

At least Urias hit it deep. We have been missing so many hittable pitches today. 

[Brewcrew82]

Okay Woody. Need a quick inning here.

Not quite.

[brewers888]

We have been terrible all week against awful teams.
