Odd thought & the game thread may not be the best place to post it but …

It seems that Counsell will not re-sign as Brewers manager once his contract expires so he can watch his sons play next year 

I wonder if Murphy might pinch hit for a year as a placeholder for Counsell should he want to return in 2025

[Brock Beauchamp]

That double play was… not awesome.

Sigh. I hope not but it’s certainly possible.

I saw Counsell’s younger son play this evening for Whitefish Bay high school.

I think Burnes allowed only two hits and gave us a shutout through 6.  Not bad when he didn't have his best control.

I love Counsell & hope he manages the Brewers for another decade - but he appears to be pondering some family time after this season - which I respect

How high does he hold his bat?

[SeaBass]

Counsell steps away from baseball, Brewers hire Mike Schildt as manager and troll the Cardinals for the next decade.

Ok, I think I threw up in my mouth a little...

The stuff of nightmares. You want 162 games of post game interviews having to stare at Molina's face?

2-10 runners in scoring position and the 1st was an infield hit by Yelich. The woes continue.  At least they are getting some walks in.

[willie key]

First place is on the line

[duewizard]

Miller is having himself a game.

Definitely. If he chooses to spend time with his family, more power to him. 

[markedman5]

So now Voit is going to get unlucky when he’s hitting it hard? 

[brewcrewdue80]

So I take it Adames was thrown out at 2b after rounding it too far?

 

Kinda nuts to go bases loaded no outs hit 2 consecutive singles before a gidp and only score 2 runs.
