Frustrating to consistently struggle this much against Mikolas. He hasn't been good in years, but we can't solve him.

Does Mitchell have any other AB results besides "struck out looking"?

He has been striking out 3-4 times a game.  He doesn't even make contact. He used to be good at one time.

That's the beauty of wOBA. It assigns an actual value for each batting event in the context of the season and weights them all correctly.

I'm guessing Sanchez outperforms there too.

Good answer, we could be in 1st place by 30 games and the same people every single game would complain about Murphy and his terrible lineups. It gets old.

So does Murphy’s way when selecting the Brewer’s lineup.

[adambr2]

Wow, not only did Mitchell make that play but he actually made it look relatively easy even though you could clearly see on replay that it wasn't. 

[yfinn6]

Well, there you go Mitchell. 

[adambr2]

My goodness, we are just punchless today.

I said this in yesterday's GT, but one can think Murphy does a good job in general and still openly disagree with some things he does. It's not wrong to state dissenting opinions.

Plenty of folks would assemble this lineup differently. 

You get a dozen people/managers you will get a dozen different lineups.  Counsell was same old same old every single stinking game and considered the GOD'S gift of managers and I never hated a manager as much as him. Now he is the highest paid manager history. Politics and opinions is all it ever is.

At least Mitchell saved a HR run defensively for the haters. 

[82brewcrew82]

I'm just glad we have the gloat-y, vitriolic, angry, I told you so posts from the "positive" posters on this board or I'd have no idea how to be a real fan.

Probably is asking for too much but it would be nice to have more than two relatively consistent hitters in the line up.  Theyre really missing Yelich right now.

That's probably the biggest issue.  They just don't have that big anchor in the lineup.

[Frisbee Slider]

I think we can solve Kittredge today.

Bloop n blast time.

Big anchor in the lineup classifieds:  Aaron Judge, Juan Soto, Shohei Otani, Bryce Harper, that is about the extent of it. 

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

So ... which bullpen is going to crack first? Neither offense seems to want to win this game.

[Team Canada]

How did we let Scott get 3 hits today?

[BCF]

This ump strike zone is trash again 

[Bulldogboy]

Game like this is exactly what I was talking about. Build your lineup to score early and often. If you score in that first inning opportunity you don't have to worry about bullpen pieces.

George Scott? LOL Th Boomer.

[nate82]

How was he safe there?  Clearly was out.

[adambr2]

I wish every MLB umpire and everyone associated with them would be fired. 

[Brock Beauchamp]

The only thing that makes sense to uphold the safe call is that the defender can't knock the runner off the bag.

[adambr2]

Would have been a great play, but Adames owes us a great play. 

[adambr2]

Maybe we should pump the brakes on Nick Mears being anything useful at all.
