And to think the Cleveland starter had a 7.71 ERA in last 3 starts - What ails you sir?  The Brewers will help you get better.

Im flabbergasted the offense is this bad....

I think we had one barrel today. That's it.

We have something in common.  I've had a barrel of whiskey too.

Won’t be surprised if we trade from a surplus of pitching tor a power hitter, perhaps for the corner infield.  But Ortiz with his automatic o- fer is as big of an issue as any.   Not giving up on him but the poor guy needs a reset at AAA.  

I suppose we can wait for Boeve and Pratt and sacrifice the season.

They needed a proven hitting coach like Kevin Seitzer but went cheap and hired a guy that is 65 and had never been a major league hitting coach and we are paying the price.

You have to have pupils willing to learn and with the ability to make changes. Yelich is 33 years old and has won two batting titles and an MVP. He almost assuredly is going to continue to do the things that he believes got him to those heights in the first places. Contreras has a broken finger there is no tutelage to overcome that. Ortiz is either incredibly unlucky or is being attacked differently  by pitchers this season and hasn’t been able to implement a counter adjustment.  It’s not like it’s a secret or hard to see. Unless the coach is going up there and swinging the bat, it’s something Joey needs to implement on his own.

I’m not shocked at all 

The last few years of the Yelich contract are going to be rough 

What an unwatchable offense 

I fear this will be a difficult season & I’m not sure our management will sell at the deadline

Yeah, Chourio is the 3rd choice in CF. Has it worked well? No. But under the circumstances putting him there & leaving Frelick in RF made sense from an athletic & strategic standpoint. If anyone thinks his confidence is being wrecked........on average, RF is tougher for a young player unless he has experience there. This is a very difficult 'grow up' pill. He just needs to swallow it & move on.

Trying to remember the last time Yelich pulled a ball. I don't mean a ground ball to 2B, 1B or a ground single to RF. He's always been sorta gap-to-gap, but it looks right now like it's impossible for him to hit a ball hard to RF w/any elevation. The HR vs the Rays was to RC. And now, the balls he hits fairly well the other way, he often pulls off them, and whiffs. Just really ugly. I know you can't go back to '18 & '19, but in a close game w/a runner on 3rd you can't strike out...twice.

Through all this, Mears has really been fantastic.
