Trust me, I agree 100%. I just think this may be the reasoning... I think it is very dumb. I just wrote an article recently, here, that talks about it and Pedro. Obviously the injury to Tyrone Taylor allows this a bit though. Maybe get some trade bait for a team not in contention or with injuries.

I'm talking about McCutchen and Brosseau specifically. Here's Brosseau, for instance. 

Ah gotcha. Yeah Brosseau has been quite impressive. Considering writing something about him

[willie key]

Score for godsakes 

[BruisedCrew]

Hiura has been the star of the offense today. He accounts for 40% of their baserunners.

If the Brewers have had a hard hit ball in this game I don’t remember it.

Staring in the face of their second straight shutout loss to the Cubs at AFF. 

The hardest hit was the first at bat of the game, Yelich at 99.7.  Next is a Severino groundout at 92.7.

[BruisedCrew]

First hard hit ball of the game ties it up. 

[Brewcrew82]

Welcome to the team!

[markedman5]

Welcome new guy!

[Caswell]

Severino puts up the claws haha

[DuWayne Steurer]

It's a shame there's no real ability to pinch hit for Davis here.

[trwi7]

Probably because of the steroids. 

-David Ross post game probably

[wildcat83]

Feel like half the thread is complaining about Hiura starting vs a lefty, and he’s been on base twice, stole a base, and scored the only run.

[edfunderburk]

Nice job by Severino ?

Would love to see Davis give us the lead here

[Brewcrew82]

Just get on base for Yelich, Davis....

That sounds more like the least softly hit. And it had a launch angle of “almost straight up” degrees. 

[edfunderburk]

We need another true OF on the roster

Just because something works out when you do something stupid doesn't mean it was a good idea.

I wouldn't mind Ian Happ, to be honest.....

What I REALLY meant was we need to give these guys a chance. ???

[jason21nl]

Calling a Yelich double here

 

but more than likely he will roll over to the right side.    

[edfunderburk]

Please, dear Lord, don’t let Yelich ground out to 2B ??

[Brewcrew82]

Okay. Yelich has a higher batting average against LHP this year....All we need is a hit.

[Caswell]

Shoot why didn't that pitcher bump that ball a bit

[Brewcrew82]

Not to be.

Hiura gets more abuse than any other player even when facing righties.
