Is there much he can even do about it, though? I mean, he can shuffle the lineup - and maybe should - but I’m not convinced it will make a difference. 

So do nothing?

Perhaps we need to grab a bat at the deadline?  I mean, this offense looks gassed right now.  Turang, Contreras and Hoskins have all benn slumping for a LONG time now.

I've been calling this for awhile. We have arms coming back. Offense needs the paddles to shock it back to life.

I suspect it had something to with the matchup of Duran, who is absolutely filthy. I hope someone asks about it post game. Matt Trueblood might be in the clubhouse tonight, I’ll text him. 

Typically I'd prefer never to see Jake Bauers with a bat in his hand whether the pitcher be filthy, soft-tossing, or anything in between. 

[Brock Beauchamp]

By the way, keep an eye on the front page tomorrow. Trueblood is going to ask Murphy about the Bauers decision.

I think the obvious move is to let go of Bauers and pick up another Santana like bat.

Brewers will do something I'm sure but who knows,

[yourout]

Come on man. What apathetic ab that was.

We had Santana and traded him.

Well that's possible for sure. We need a full-time dh or 1b who can put some numbers.

I think the real solution needs to come from the front office via personnel.

[Brock Beauchamp]

Twins handing the game back to the Brewers.

Sure, but do nothing until that comes?  I find that hard to believe.

[HarryDoyle]

The one time I like the contact play. Need to force the issue somehow.

It's probably time to remove Turang from leadoff but I don't even know what to do with Contreras or Hoskins when they're hitting like this.

Maybe find a way to get Tyler Black some ABs?

[Brock Beauchamp]

LOL and as I type that about Contreras...

[82brewcrew82]

How is Contreras not on second?  His effort is lacking lately.

[ClearWaterWI]

I don’t know how many more Hoskins ABs I can watch

I don't think he was going to get there that guy played it pretty clean off the wall but yes he was dogging it.

1. He's not fast.

2. Max Kepler plays balls off the wall like a magician. It's probably best to not try for the extra base, as the person standing on third is FAR more important than Contreras.

Frelick, Jackson, Yelich, Contreras for starters.  What would be the harm as opposed to doing the thing that isn't working day after day?

[Brock Beauchamp]

Oh, Yelich. Chef's kiss.

[kevinisaname]

The bunt!

I think the pose after the swing had something to do with it.

[HarryDoyle]

And just like that, they're playing fundamental ball. Refreshing.
