Yeah , a little help from the ump keeping the crew off balance , but overall these dealing !

[mtsportsfan]

Frelick is screwed ! Ump gave the inside pitch and now he is clueless !

[RobertCrawley]

Dangit, Salvatore.

[dlk9s]

The league has figured out Frelick pretty quickly. He can't figure out low breaking balls at all.

[markedman5]

Sal looking bad in 2 AB’s against the soft tossing veteran…….big play by Hoerner to keep Santanas ball in the infield 

[yourout]

Hard the win ball games scoring one run in 14 innings.

[BruisedCrew]

Vintage Hendricks outing against the Brewers. 5 IP, no ER. 

[mtsportsfan]

Time for our bats to come alive ! Can't be wasting pitching performances by your top two guys !

[willie key]

I really do t want to go back to another month of not scoring

[RobertCrawley]

Those Hendricks fastballs look so hittable.

Hard to keep a good mental approach when the ump invariably is calling dozens of calls not in your favor...

[KeithStone53151]

I've always wondered why the Brewers don't lean over the plate a bit against Hendricks. Dare him to come inside. I'm sure he will sometimes, but that goes against the only thing he's good at which is throwing pitches just off the plate and consistently getting favorable calls.

Tough AB for Canha getting pitches off the edge that if you know you don't swing at it will be called a strike so forced into swinging at low positive outcome pitches.

Just so frustrating , changes the AB ! Don't know what to swing at or not. 

[RobertCrawley]

Big Woo is dealing.

[mtsportsfan]

Come on guys , pick Woody up here ! 

[KeithStone53151]

Thankfully Woodruff is keeping us in the game. Happ with a key hit after a walk that included 3 strikes and 1 ball...and a HBP one inch inside...is the difference in the game. Still 3 innings left to reset the game.

The last week or so has been fun watching the Brewers actually score runs but the fact is this still remains a very bad offense.

When we're bad, we're really bad.

[brewers888]

Its been something special having these two top of the line starting pitchers and its going to be a shame if we can't win a championship with them.

[wiguy94]

Really hope the game doesn't come down to 2 runners that scored after reaching on a BS walk and HBP that missed the strike zone by 2 inches.

The BB and HBP

The truth is we just have very few good hitters and some really bad ones. The pitching and defense will have to continue to carry us and have to hope we can score just enough to win.

I think we can still get another run here, but when we hit a drought, it's a full team effort.

Was wondering if this is what happened.  I am following along on Gameday. Bummer.
