That ab by Adames is why this team sucks. Guy on base nobody out and he got himself out swinging like a madman. Then you have to steal to move the runner and he is out. Brutal baseball all around.

The Brewers play like they are helping write the script for the next bad news bears movie.

Just wish Taylor would make more frequent contact. A lot of power in that bat, but a lot of swing and miss also. 

I pulled up some video from last year and he has significantly more uppercut and many times the bat is actually past vertical at launch. That's why he is hitting nothing to right.

Might be able to get Freddy through 7.

Dude looks like he’s going to be sick

I trust that if you could do this the hitting coaches who are actually paid to see this can as well.

Watching Great Outdoors, much more entertaining than this offensive offense! Bring up some some players with an attitude!

He is going to be a pain in the Brewers butt for the next 5 years or so.

It seems that a lot of this current roster has the "uppercut" swing . all or nothing!

Paul Molitor was the best hitter I ever saw. The swing was flat balanced and quick. I know he had some issues as a manager but would love to see a guy like that as our hitting coach. somebody with the resume and the cred to say look son....

[bulldogboy0733]

Padres melting down again.

What is the logic / thought behind making the change now at 82 pitches?

Third time through the order?

Urius needs a week or two in Nashville

It has to be a pitch count thing since he's back from injury. The guy had a no hitter going.

[jason21nl]

Lol.   This team….

[BruisedCrew]

The error comes back to bite right away.

Brewers can’t take advantage of mistakes and the Cubs can.

Sign of a losing team. 

[CdrbrgMark]

Brilliant move pulling Freddy, CC!!!!!!!!

[Simba2020]

Peralta threw 92 pitches two starts ago, 95 last time out. How is he not good for 100?

[Guest]

Matt Bush hasn't been great for the Brewers so far. He needs to get it going. 

[NBBrewFan]

Brewers pitchers miss their spot and it's right down the middle.  Cubs throw right down the middle and Brewers hitters swing and miss.

He threw 90+ pitches the last two outings.

The Brewers are math challenged.

Wow I didn't realize that. I hope he's not hurt again. That's the only reason you would pull him with a no hitter at 82 pitches right?
