Surprised Frelick wasn't rung up on the pitch before the double. 

Yeah borderline but just out. I've seen worse called strikes. Heck Angel Hernandez was worse today in the 1st inning.

I've never seen so many runners on second base not able to score on base hits in the first eight games of the season. Not saying they should've, but it's a lot.

I do actually wonder if there's some coordinated thinking to this? Like, you have a more contact-oriented offense, and you don't want to be taking chances with less than 2 outs?

5-2 is great, but scoring the 7th least amount of runs in baseball through 7 games (I know we have played 1 less game than almost all) isn't great.

The Brewers appreciate you for point out this issue and are correcting the error now.

A bunch of them were with 0 outs, where you just don't want to risk much of anything.  I don't remember any of them with 2 outs, where you basically send everybody.

Also, I don't remember stranding these guys at third after holding them up.

I love Turang at second. We'll probably see him at SS next season.

Honestly, Ortiz is probably a better fit at SS than Turang, assuming both hit.

Either way I won't be disappointed.

That was Chourio's first hit out of the infield that wasn't a home run or a double.
