Does Weimer know what the term "plate approach" means?

No , he is in the Adames way of hitting , close your eyes , swing as hard as you can and hope you hit one out.

[jason21nl]

Fireable offense.  You can’t keep getting your guys easily thrown out.   

[Bulldogboy]

Oh by the way pick up a 3rd base coach at the deadline. 

[StearnsFTW]

Fire Lane.  Jesus .

Montesario hitting cleanup. Wiemer 5th. I just don't understand how this is being allowed to happen. I wish the owner would actually step in a say boys I expect you to do what it takes to make me a champion. 

Small sample size and all that but Monasterio has an OPS of 1.000 against lefties. BABIP is .458 so he is very lucky right now but lets use him for as long as he can hit

[folly412]

Can't get a good grasp on that one.  Seemed like he could score there but out by a mile.  They get it in quickly, bad send, or Monasterio not as quick as I thought?

[duewizard]

What was that send Lane?!?!

I mean, are your more sure the next guy up gets a hit than you are that the Reds make two good throws?  I understand the send with this offense.

[mtsportsfan]

Great relay , give the reds credit . that being said it wasn't even close. Got to have better read than that! I guess that's what happens when you can't score !

To be fair the odds of a two out base hit to score a runner about the same as the reds relay being thrown into the stands.

[trwi7]

Feel like that would have been worth a challenge for blocking the plate.  He was blocking the plate and the throw didn’t lead him in there.  Plus, that gets you a guaranteed run with a runner in scoring position if you win it.  Hard to imagine another play in this game that would be more beneficial to winning than that one.

Simply incredible this team is in first.

Time for home plate ump to take two weeks off…then quit.

To be fair, we had a huge advantage last night.

Good one, Brett.

[82brewcrew82]

I don't think a straight jacket would help Perkins with plate discipline.

[Bulldogboy]

Lane is horrible but he knows that the odds of this team coming up with a big two out hit is non existent. The pressure gets to everyone eventually. 

[RobertCrawley]

Serviceable. 

[82brewcrew82]

All right!  A little two out magic.

It’s only a matter of time unless something is done

 

you have to score runs.    You just have too

[Bulldogboy]

Why people are still pitching to Yelich is pretty amazing. He's basically all they have right now.

[82brewcrew82]

Or not.

[JefferyLeonard]

Imagine thinking plugging bats like CJ Cron etc into this lineup would move the needle. If that's all you're going to do, don't bother. That's actually insulting to Brewer fans. Go big, or stand pat and punt on the rest of the season. 

[mtsportsfan]

These guys just can't lay off the high one ! This is just brutal to watch at times !

[jason21nl]

The lineup consists of Yelich, a couple dudes that hit every now and then, and a bunch of dudes that don’t hit at all.
