Arghhhhhhh….Narvaez!!!  Trade bait.

I’m not a fan of bases loaded ground out DPs … which we seem to do frequently 

[edfunderburk]

We cannot afford to lose Urius with Peterson out for an extended period … 3B depth already quite shallow 

We need to trade or release Severino in the next few days

Inability to play defense anywhere other than 2B, 1B, & LF (all poorly) makes Hiura a top trade candidate too … I believe a change of scenery would be great for him & for the Brewers

[DuWayne Steurer]

I'm kinda mystified how Wong's defense just disappeared from one season to the next but yet his offense is still pretty consistently solid/decent.

I read that each year he gets a “new” glove - which takes a while to break in

Apparently, this year’s glove doesn’t work as well as gloves from previous years

I suggest he retrieve his 2021 glove & try that one for a while

2 unearned runs...

[DuWayne Steurer]

all on Wong.

 

[Simba2020]

All unearned but sometimes you have to pick up your fielders too and Ashby hasn't done that.

[willie key]

That’s on Ashby too.    You can’t just be giving up double after double either 

[edfunderburk]

Even bad teams win when you give them four outs in an inning 

This is two games in a row the Brewers have hosed Ashby 

He deserves better from his teammates

A large part of the blame for sure, but the #1 thing that ticks me off is Ashby coming out for the fifth with a 2 run lead, two solid innings in a row, and inexplicably  walks the leadoff hitter on 4 straight. I've brought up before about him not having grown up yet. That walk doesn't happen, good chance they score nothing.

[Brewcrew82]

Frustrating inning. Can't make errors like that. 

[Sixtolezcano]

2 out of 3 on the road isn’t too bad. Hopefully we can do the same in Pittsburgh.

Milner with a couple of crap outings

Me thinks we will be getting some arms back just in time. Gott and Milner may have hit their expiration date on their magic.
