Good to get the worst possible inning out of the way.

Omar Narvaez to the COVID IL. Alex Hall up from A+ Wisconsin, probably only for the night.  

By the still shocked look in the dugout, tomorrow's move might be Alex Hall to the IL (heart attack). ?

[NBBrewFan]

Luke Voit would have fit right in as a Brewer.

[Brewcrew82]

At least Willson Contreras is helping us out now. 

[BruisedCrew]

Nice smooth play by Wong and good hustle by Machado. 
?

[HarryDoyle]

Levering mentions Machado’s $300 million dollar contract and immediately dogs it to first base.

[Brewcrew82]

Nice at bat by Jace.

Too expensive during our inflation spike?

Could have gotten in the park for $6 tonight. I bought club seats for $20.

TT finally in the four spot but Yelich still in the three.

There had to be a clause in Yelich’s contract that required he always hit in the 3-hole if he would take a hometown discount

I don’t understand him hitting 3rd … along with Cain, he’s truly our weak link offensively

A move to 8 in the line up would be more tolerable

Who should start instead? The other options aren't exactly good against lefties either. I think now it's a great time to give Hiura all the starts they can against lefties and righties. Gotta know what you have. And yes I know about his reverse splits, but he just hasn't had enough AB one way or another to know exactly how pronounced(or real) they will be in the long run.

 

Call up Feiciano & start him at DH

But hundreds are spent elsewhere to attend a game, and that’s just to fill up the gas tank for the drive to the stadium.

I believe CC continues to put him on the lineup in hopes he breaks his consecutive at bat hitless streak.

We actually have several candidates for that record - Cain, Yelich, Cutch ?

[Brewcrew82]

Catch. Bounced in the glove. Either way though, the Brewers should have an out. 

[magnoliacrew]

At the minor league game and just checking in. Pukey is doing good I see.

[HarryDoyle]

When will players realize to keep the tag applied on a base runner?

Guess not. Why is Wong not standing on the bag there?

[stoutdude04]

Would love to see Wong be good defensively again.

[markedman5]

Defense is almost comical at this point

And was a force play too. A double brain fart on the part of Wong.

[bulldogboy0733]

It's like these guys don't truly understand the game. Wong tagging the guy on a basic force is little league stuff.

Seems like every player on this team has their head up their "you know what" right now...

[treego14]

Great stop by Caratini!

[treego14]

I don't like Houser's body language ... Chris Hook needs to tell him to start acting like Mark "The Bird" Fidrych!  Show some animation out there!

I just don't understand how that play that was reviewed didn't have an error. I understand that Wong's mental error of both not stepping on the bag and missing the tag isn't an error(it really should be imo) but how is the throw that went past first not an error. It was a force out at first (runner didn't step on first at that point yet) how is it not an error?

[Brewcrew82]

Whew.....
