That's part of it but the other part is he's starting to dive in at everything and collapsing his backside.

He used to be relatively quiet in the box with his feet but now he's got too many parts moving around

Yeah.  And it has to be messing with his eye because he’s not nearly the same guy as when he came up.

I’m beginning to think that going into the playoffs with the worst, or one of the worst, offenses among the playoff teams is not a formula for success.

If he gets traded Turang will be the everyday shortstop which is even worse.

True but we know Turang can't hit. Willy has the talent and nobody is teaching him. Arcia proved that when you work with talent it gets better. Same will happen with Willie once he escapes.

That's what we said last year, sadly. 

The good news is, no new manager would be dumb enough to keep our hitting coaches.  

Don't count on it.  LaFleur kept Barry.

[Ro Mueller]

Great job, Milner. Time for Donaldson, Turang and Taylor to turn around an 0-for-6 night.

Until MLB got a book on him.  Same thing with Wiemer.  

And with Turang

And he's going to die on that Hill.

Not that he's a particularly good coach anyways.

It could be a very interesting winter from the Brewers to the Packers.

Its pretty sad that this organization just kills offensive players

The takes are nuclear!  Always a fun time on the boards here.

I'm as pissed as anyone but yeh, these responses are pretty silly.  Blaming hitting coaches at this point is just cringe 

[jason21nl]

Why in the bloody hell is up right now????

Babip bad luck strikes again

A hitting coach can't just make good hitters. We've gone through a few hitting coaches now and...I don't think that's the problem. We just haven't developed hitting and we're a year or two behind on the hitting to line up with the pitching. I guess the hope is that the next wave will have enough pitching, but...who knows. 

 

I do love CC, but I cannot wrap my head around Winker getting ABs. What is a hitting coach supposed to do with that? I don't think it's like Barry, but it's so much easier to see in another sport. 

[jason21nl]

Laughable.  

[duewizard]

WINKER??????

Most people are rightfully blaming the organization for not developing any hitters for the last 10 years or so.

It is not just “at this point.”   Some have been pointing out these things all year.  
 

Not holding them accountable is just cringe.

Winker spends the entire second half of the season in the minors but somehow is worthy of a roster spot in a first round playoff series?

[kevinisaname]

I think Brewers' fans know Winker should not have been on the playoff roster.

[beekay414]

lol Winker. Just tone deaf man. I can't take this franchise seriously, man. Mark like "I spent $8 Million on him, you're playing him, Craig!"

Attanasio is a plague

[BruisedCrew]

A lot of fans are not happy seeing Winker at the plate. 
 

Milwaukee fans generally don’t boo the home team so you have to be really bad to draw the razzberries.

The outcome of this series was determined when Counsell chose Winker over Tellez.

If the people charged with teaching hitting aren't to blame, then who is?

[magnoliacrew]

I'm here to pile on how horrific of a decision it was to have Winker on the roster AND to use him in these situations.

I’m with you on this one.  Head scratcher.

Absolutely embarrassing decision having him on the roster.
