Ashby certainly has decent stuff. If he cleans up his location look outl

[Brewcrew82]

Okay, enough liners for outs.

Ok, all you people keep up your love for CC & watch this team go nowhere for the next 10 years.  I give up, I'm done with the CC comments.....

[Never Outhustled]

I remain bullish on Ashby. Phenomenal stuff. He'll get there.

Ha! It has absolutely nothing to do with CC. The argument that a DH cannot bat first just makes zero sense.

[Brewcrew82]

How many line drives is this team going to have that turn into outs?

[yourout]

Might be time to get the pen moving.

Nevermind.

Plz tell me 1 other team in MLB that bats their  DH 1st.

Yelich is their regular lead-off guy. He is not the regular DH. He does DH from time to time to rest his back. Should they take him out of the leadoff spot when he DHs? Because to me that is what would make no sense.

[yourout]

He really has to improve the location on the curve/slider.

[phnxcrew]

Ahhh I see mr steroids is back again.  I guess the cards need 1-2 obvious steroid freaks per decade.

The reason why the Brewers do is the quality of the batters on their major league roster.

What absolute difference does it make what position the player plays on where he bats in the lineup???

Yes, he's in a little bit of a slump lately. I think I'm trying to understand why him hitting leadoff *as the DH* is the big deal here.

He's generally hit well at leadoff this year, and gotten on base at an above average clip, so I'm willing to give Counsell the benefit of the doubt here and let Yelich work through the little bit of a slump that he's in. Still not sure what being the DH today has to do with his spot in the order. 

Yelich has been on a power slump for eons it seems.  ?

[willie key]

Score some runs.    Come on.   Jesus

It doesn't. Grump simply looking for something inconsequential to complain about.

You’re on the right path, that will take an act of G*D.

[The stache]

Yelich is now 0 for his last 22 with 3 walks over his last 6 games. 
 

He has 1 home run in his last 169 at bats.

Whatever the issue, it’s looking like he needs a rest again, because his defense has been abysmal, and he provides absolutely nothing in offense right now. 

[Brewcrew82]

We can't catch a break in this game with the line drives. 

[edfunderburk]

I despise the Cardinals 

There are only a few sports teams that completely disgust me

Ohio State in college … Cowboys & Bears in NFL … Cardinals in MLB

I would do just about anything to see all those teams fail

[Underachiever]

Would you have let Ashby continue? 79 pitches, got through Goldschmidt and Arenado…
