Got him!

[folly412]

That makes us 7-2 on challenges this year?  I like that.  Getting what's owed and not wasting more time.

[yourout]

Is it just me or do they seem to get it right with replay more this year then previous years.

[Brewcrew82]

And of course Cain is not bunting. 

[yourout]

Lo.....you had a nice career but it's time to hang up the cleats.

At least have Cain bunt there. Just a total non-competitive at bat… sigh.

[BruisedCrew]

Of course, Cain would be leading off the 10th with the runner on second.

 

All you’re looking for is a squib grounder to the right side and he can’t even do that.

[Eye Black]

Would’ve been nice if Jace could’ve tried to get into a run down to get Wong over to 2B.

Edit: Moot point anyway. 

[BruisedCrew]

This offense can be painful to watch in these situations. 
 

Had a chance to steal a win with B team pitching and couldn’t get it done. 

Second time on this trip failing to score in the top of the 10th.

[yourout]

That did not go well.

[bulldogboy0733]

How on earth does Counsell defend not having Cain bunt there?? Now we get Hoby?? I don't know what to say.

[yourout]

This one is all but over.

[Brewcrew82]

Very frustrating. 

[bulldogboy0733]

Brewers have to get serious about the Cain situation. That said JBJ was here all season so he's not going anywhere.

[bulldogboy0733]

Basic baseball beats the Brewers. Two straight horrific losses

Not like Wong got the run in from third anyway. 
 

I am not a big fan of bunting but having Cain try to push one to the right side there would have made sense. 

[Brewcrew82]

Had all the chances. Injuries starting to catch up with this team. We need Adames and Renfroe back ASAP. And Cain needs to leave this team. 

[nate82]

I have seen little league players throw harder than that and from deeper.  Yelich arm is basically a noodle now.  

[wOOgiE22]

Why not walk the bases loaded there to at least set up the double play?  Give yourself a  chance at least. 

[Brewcrew82]

That being said, I don't know how you could say it was anything but a successful roadtrip with the amount of obstacles we faced. 

[brooks_quichenick]

Felt like we should’ve swept that series. Let a couple get away. Solid road trip at least, let’s get back home and get one tomorrow!

[DuWayne Steurer]

At 6-5 it's a successful road trip, but still, letting two games in a row get away like that feels like a let down.  Get home, hopefully get some guys healthy soon, and get it turned back around.

I could call it more acceptable than successful.

I'm glad it wasn't just me who saw his windup/hop and cringed
