Murphy bundled up like its 20 below zero.

It can be really cold in that stadium.

What does Yelich have to do to move out of 3 hole?

Have to love when an ump has had a tight zone all night then strikes out a Brewers hitter on 5 pitches when there was only 1 strike thrown.

I still say the single biggest improvement they can make to the game right now is some form of automated zone or challenge.

[RobertCrawley]

What a great throw from Sal!

He's in the 4 hole tonight. 

[HarryDoyle]

Dunn is absolutely useless.

[Pugger]

Darn, that was a hell of a throw.

[RobertCrawley]

That was a strike a minute ago.

[Pugger]

This plate ump is inconsistent as hell.

[Pugger]

4 strikes and you' re out.

[yourout]

Big getting out of that without giving up a run.

[RobertCrawley]

Dropped that Uncle Charley on him.

[Pugger]

2 for Hoskins.

Will we ever fix 3rd?

[mudbutt]

Hoskins getting respectable so just need to bring Durbin up finally and hope Yelich gets through it.

First time I heard it called that.

From Wiki
Here's a more detailed look at some of the nicknames:

"The Hook":
This nickname directly refers to the curved trajectory of the pitch, where it bends or hooks towards the batter.
"Bender":
Similar to "The Hook," this term emphasizes the bending or breaking action of the curveball.
"Deuce" or "Number Two":
Catchers often use two fingers to signal a curveball, leading to these nicknames.
"Uncle Charlie":
This nickname is said to have originated after Harvard President Charles Eliot criticized the curveball, calling it a deceptive pitch. The term "Lord Charles" also emerged around the same time, a further jab at Eliot.
"Yakker":
This nickname often refers to a curveball with a significant break, and the term is sometimes associated with the "yellowhammer" bird.
"Lord Charles":
Dwight Gooden of the New York Mets had such a devastating curveball that it was nicknamed "Lord Charles,"

It's a term from the days of yore.

Heck of a play by the tigers 2nd baseman.

[yfinn6]

Chourio getting pretty nonchalant out there. 

[Pugger]

Why the change here Murphy?

Maybe move him down further or let him sit a game?

Dunn's days have to be numbered at this point. I like the guy but he's not exactly young and he's had a LOT of swing and miss or strike out looking at bats since he's been in Milwaukee. 

If that's the case, and it probably should be, who takes his place?

We just have no other options at this point.

Therein lies the problem.
