Oddly, I'm feeling ok about Ashby. His stuff is pretty good ok, but he's making mistakes. He can fix that. Can't fix an injury.

I’m not……he looks very hittable…..not impressive at all to me

[82brewcrew82]

Pretty much out classed in every way possible in this one.

He's laboring now. That was 88 right down the middle. I would have pulled him a little while back.

I mean I'm feeling good that he's throwing pretty well after surgery and that bodes well for the future.

Defense hasn't helped. Ortiz giving off 3B Ryan Braun vibes out there tonight.

This is actually sad

[duewizard]

My money is on Monasterio pitching tonight.

Clancy supports this. 

[markedman5]

Worst defensive performance by a first baseman in Brewers recent history? This has to be climbing the charts……

[RobertCrawley]

I've never seen an infielder have such a bad night.

[adambr2]

Ortiz and Hoskins are teaming up to have a, uh, night, defensively. 

[Oxy]

So, Jake Bauers is looking better and better! YIKES. That's the worst defensive first base performance I've ever seen.  High School stuff.

[RobertCrawley]

Hoskins caught it!!

[Bulldogboy]

Left him out there to long man. The guy threw 30 extra pitches due to horrible defense. I can say I have never seen poor infield play like this in a long time. If Hoskins can't play 1st base and has to clog up dh his value goes way down.

What is going on with Hoskins.

What is going on with Ortiz?  I thought he was a defensive wizard?

[markedman5]

Bukauskis should have ran over to first and tagged the bag himself…..lol

Which one?

[RobertCrawley]

Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor???

The first throw was bad…..obviously rushed by Delacruz’s speed…….the second should have been an error on Hoskins……that’s a ball that any first baseman has to catch.

I agree, but the throw should have been better.

Not excusing Hoskins, but I'm not excusing Ortiz either.

[RobertCrawley]

Cincy flashing the leather is just insult to injury.

[markedman5]

So I guess Hoskins is proving the idea that anyone can play first base theory incorrect.

[markedman5]

Turang has been a pleasant surprise
