Capra is an all-time “good guy” & quality person … but he has been woeful with the bat post Spring Training 

I’d love to see him get on track since he is a high character guy & apparently a quality teammate 

We have excellent young middle infielders in the lower minors - they will arrive soon 

2027 should be a fun season for the Brewers

At the risk of sounding cold or callous, "good guy" is much further down on the list than "good player" for the qualities I look for in an MLB player.

Borderline.

The result was certainly unfortunate - we needed a run there & not a double play grounder

I completely agree … as does Leo Durocher 

Anyone recall his famous quote as it relates to baseball players?

[Jopal78]

God I hope they move on from either or both of Lane Grindle and Josh Maurer…unlistenable. 
 

What’s Jim Powell doing?

[kevinisaname]

Don't lose it now, Quinn. You were pitching well...

[dlk9s]

This game feels listless.

[shanedog19]

The lineup we are trotting out there today could not beat many AAA teams.

[kevinisaname]

Ugh, he's safe.

[dlk9s]

Safe at home

[adambr2]

Safe. It’s not bang-bang, Bill. Clearly safe.

[yfinn6]

He's safe. 

[Simba2020]

Why insist on it being close? Obviously safe.

[duewizard]

Great throw Capra, bad tag Haase.

[kevinisaname]

What a disastrous inning defensively.

[yfinn6]

Bad defense hurts. 

[Jopal78]

Haase costing them a game 

[Simba2020]

Two on the catcher.

[adambr2]

Haase really having himself a last 3 minutes.

[edfunderburk]

I hate how soft baseball has become …

I assume Hasse was intentional in not blocking the plate. The throw was there in plenty of time. 

I miss plays at home as well as wipeout slides at second base.

Being down 2-0 against Valdez with this AAA lineup is going to be a significant challenge.

Hopefully, we get out of this inning with no further damage.

I was chuckling internally that our announcers couldn't admit while awaiting the result of the review that the guy was obviously safe.

Especially with our offense being so pedestrian

[adambr2]

With this lineup not even worthy of being called a Sunday lineup that Murphy trotted out there today, 3 runs feels like a lot.

Nah, it's good that those are out of the game.

Buster Posey and Reuben Tejada + baseball’s knee jerk reaction to criticism = new lame rules
