This isn't even bad pitching by Koenig. Just so hard to get these guys out.

When they can go up and out of the zone to hit fastballs, you just tip your cap and move on.

Why can't we ever make a pitching change mid inning? I can not believe what I am seeing. 

Now we get the right hander? What is going on? Ridiculous. 

[pitchleague]

One batter too long.  As soon as they showed Rojas, I told my wife they needed to make the move with Koenig’s pitch count in the 20s.

Nuts

Murphy trusted his gut leaving Montas in 2 batters too long and it worked out. Didn't work out the second time he tried leaving Koenig in too long.

It was against Rojas who isn’t a good hitter.  He should have been able to get him out.

I get why he left him in. Koenig was throwing the ball as well as he has since coming off the IL, and you'd prefer to bring Payamps clean to start the 8th. End of the day Rojas just got a pitch out of the zone. 

I probably would've made the change, though. 

[Bulldogboy]

I am deathly afraid of Murphy in a playoff series. 

[wibadgers23]

Need to generate more offense for the love of everything.  Four runs is fine but just three hits so far.  

[sobomp3]

I get it, blah blah blah Dodgers and their $400million payroll, but did anyone expect last years World Series to be Arizona vs Texas with the two #1 seeds swept in the DS? I sure didn’t. Make it in, get/stay hot and win it for Uecker!

[adambr2]

That's damn near a tie. I don't know if we would have won but that was worth a look this late in the game.

Why are there so many Dodgers fans in Milwaukee?

Why cheer for a team that has an unfair advantage?

Too many people are simply front-runners!

LA people are rich I guess.

Who is winning?

[adambr2]

Did Ortiz touch all the bases?

[Brewcrew82]

I mean that's a 20 year old kid doing that....

[Bulldogboy]

Chourio is a rare hitting project for the crew that is actually getting better in the show.

Meanwhile Black looks horrible. 

[Brian]

Black is a major liability. 

[adambr2]

Man, I really do want Black to be good. We could use it. But he is just lost at the plate. 

[Bulldogboy]

Black hitting 3-4 the last two nights is a fireable offense. 

[endaround]

I mean I get you don't want Black to sit and platoon stuff but why are we carrying 2 bat only backup catchers if they are not going to get a chance to DH over a guy who is hardly forcing himself up in AAA?

[Brewcrew82]

Very nice by Payamps. I'll take my chances with Devin against Ohtani, Betts, and Freeman.

They have very sound mechanics as far as hand positioning and attack angle and it allows them to cover the zone a lot better.

Oliver Dunn hitting .308 in Nashville.

[Bulldogboy]

We will be able to tell if Williams is back after this half inning.
