Oh no no, just lineup wise - Huira belongs at DH. However the defense aligns , but Cain and McCutchen should not both be in over Huira.

Didn't I say that...?

Renfroe coming back this week might be it for Cain. At the very least in terms of meaningful playing time.

We can only hope...

I’d love to see Turang up here , let McCutchen bat vs Lefties only…. Huira DH vs R. 
Cain can be a defensive replacement til they decide what to do with him. 
Have to shake something up here because it’s not even a matter of bad luck it’s just the lack of good contact - can’t do anything if you don’t put good wood on it. And Jace playing so much drives me nuts too… 

Not sure what Craig is doing this year but I feel we could be much better with some better decisions on the lineup alone. Idk.

All of this.

9 up 9 down and it doesn't even seem like a big deal, or something to talk about. Corbin Burnes is just so impressive.

Best healthy pitcher in baseball, and there's not much debate. And an argument for best pitcher period, though DeGrom last year was the best pitching I've ever seen before he got hurt.

How many times must McCutcheon disappoint before he  -at least-  gets moved out of clean up?

[folly412]

Rowdy and that 2nd percentile speed. ?

[adambr2]

Never had a chance.

Flashbacks of Ed Sedar.

[brooks_quichenick]

Brilliant send at 3rd. Cripes

[DuWayne Steurer]

I'm ok with it with 2 outs.  good relay, good throw to home.  It happens.

Why would you send Teddy to the plate there?  ?

Baseball fans always talk about hitting and pitching, but "routine" defensive plays like that relay to home make a difference over a long season.

Gosh, I miss old-school, hard-nosed baseball where a hefty runner (like Prince Fielder) could run over a catcher. 
 

I also miss wiping out the 2nd baseman on a double play attempt. 
 

That play at home plate may have been different if the catcher knew Rowdy may roll him into the dugout if he applied the tag.

I have a bad feeling that this Nolan Gorman guy is going to be an annoying thorn in the Brewers side for like 6 more years.

[Brewcrew82]

Atta boy Corbin. 

[Nola Beery]

As soon as the radio guys start saying our pitcher is totally "in control"  I fear trouble.

It seems to be a Cardinal thing. Blecchh

I think I'll enjoy playing them just a tad bit more starting next season when Molina, Pujols, and potentially Wainwright are all gone....

They actually missed the proper cutoff man on that relay. Maybe that’s what prompted the  coach to send him.

Game over...

[Brewcrew82]

Jace says no Turang!

[DuWayne Steurer]

I like the idea from Wong.
