Guys make perfect throws in the big leagues pretty often.  He was dead as soon as he hit 3rd.  

He was not.  It was an extremely close play at the plate.  The tag came from behind on Yelich.  Which means the ball arrived just about when Yelich was in his slide.  It is a good send as that is a 50-50 chance of being safe or out.

How about we say is was a very good throw but the 3rd base coach should have held him, in retrospect.

Time for a few days off for McCutchen.

10 for 58

Rowdy pull a hammy running?  

Thought it was curious he didn't seem to even think about sliding there.

Renfroe to 1B, call up Wiemer/Frelick....

At least he didn't completely lock up. Maybe just a tweek.

Robots and robots.

Nice to have options in AAA that aren't Pablo Reyes. 

[ecjimg]

If Mitchell hits a triple he might pass Navarez….lol

[yourout]

bad 0-2 pitch.

[yfinn6]

C'mon Corbin

[BruisedCrew]

Another stinker from Burnes. 

[yfinn6]

One of two guys who can beat you in this lineup and you let it happen. Pitch him up you idiots.

He has not been particularly good since the break.

[willie key]

You can’t rely on burnes to hold a 3 run lead to a crap team.    

[yfinn6]

Trying to be too cute. 

[wibadgers23]

I’m convinced we won’t win another game against the Pirates this year.

[willie key]

This Cruz guy doesn’t hit anyone and hit drills homer after homer against us

 

we give up too many homers

[yourout]

Robots......some consistency would be nice.

Because we think that if we just keep doing the same thing, we'll eventually get him out. It's maddening. 

We could face a team with one good stick in the lineup over a three game series and that one good hitter would wear us out and we'd lose 2/3 because of stubbornness. 

[edfunderburk]

Brewers continue to struggle against horrible opponents 

Blow up this team

Trade big arms for prospects 

No way this group can win a series in postseason 

Running into outs at home & squandering opportunities when you are at best mediocre will cause you to lose games to bad teams

Several times recently I suggested this disappointing team finishes 81-81

I fear that is an accurate outcome
