This team can’t hit

To be fair, Gore is one of the best young lefties in the game. I suspected this was going to happen going in.

It's not that often anymore than any pitcher in the MLB goes past the 6th inning.

Not saying I expect it every time, but when almost every game is close and there are no off days in the near future it can be a big help to do,it once in a while. 

With Miley only going 4 today it’s going to take 4 or 5 relievers to get a win today. Even one more inning from Peralta last night would have helped a little.

Announcers go out of their way to praise sometimes. "Good baserunning by Brice Turang to stay at second..." 

[rickh150]

Looks to me that the Trade of Urias (he caught that ball) is a big confidence boost to Turang. If not, it should be.  AND with sending Miller down too, Turang is getting at bats in August.

[Underachiever]

Disappointing at bat by Contreras, when he has been so good.

If that is Adames, he is out at 3rd, though.

[rickh150]

Need a couple more here.

[rickh150]

Too bad no one can bunt… bunt to 1B is a run.

[rickh150]

Adames DFA 

[wibadgers23]

And this is exactly why we play so many close games. Just can’t score enough runs to put teams away.

[Team Canada]

Seems like Adames misses a lot of fastballs.

[YelichPosse]

That was infuriating... sheesh. Non-competitive swings 2-3-4 hitters is the worst part.

[dlk9s]

MacKenzie Gore sounds like a TikTok lifestyle influencer.

Especially the ones at his eyes.

It wouldn't be so bad if they were fastballs in the strike zone. 

[Cool Hand Lucroy]

Wasted chance. Now more pressure innings.

Hopefully that limited Gore's leash a little. The more ABs against this pen, the better.

Adames would be bad this year batting 9th. Pretending he is a stick is costing us dearly.

I was thinking that REALLY good baserunnjng would have been to break to third when the SS let the throw go to first. With the throw coming  from deep in the hole he likely could have made it to third before the first baseman could field the throw and send a return throw back to third. 
 

That would have earned extra credit.

Then he'd be Keston Hiura. 😉

Saw Molitor do it frequently… a rarity for almost anyone else.

The Brewers could use some robot hitters who recognize the strike zone.

Unforced…

Is Wiemer in CF for the next decade? 

[YelichPosse]

Wiemer's range really is quite amazing.... things he catches standing up you're like how did he even get there.

Between Wiemer, Frelick, Mitchell, and Chourio it's going to be a fun few years watching an elite OF take all sorts of hits away.
