Runs, please.

PITCHING RHYME

Logan ... this is your chance to earn a slogan!

Let it be said you are our losing-streak-stopper!

Please don't be a flopper!

No win are you havin', Gavin!

BATTING RHYME

Our order is out of order through the first quarter!

To understand this, we need a good investigative reporter!

I wish we still had Darrell Porter!

He would end this disorder!

[yourout]

The $10,000 question is will we score a run today. 

Not even thinking about winning at this point.

[Brian]

Why is Yelich batting third with a 15 game hot streak of only .169?  I would stick him farther down the order until he figures it out.  I must say, I have not been impresses with Murphy at all this season.

 Murph is living in the past, apparently.

[hawing]

I say "pray for mojo" all the time in other contexts, but it feels like it's been a while since I deployed it here.

I cannot remember a Brewers manager in the last 15 years or more not suffering from this affliction.  They don't seem to understand that the present and very recent past is the biggest indicator of what to expect "today."

And replace him in the 3-hole with.............

And please don't say "anybody else". There's way too much of that on sports message boards.

Murphy feels the need to use at least 6 pitchers seemingly every game even when they don't give up many runs yet people expect the guy to put a good lineup together especially when 2/3 of the lineup struggles to hit it out of the infield.

Bauers would be my choice because he is the hottest hitter on the team. https://www.mlb.com/player/jake-bauers-641343

Good old boy club style management is a toxic way to manage.

I assume the $10,000 question is only because we are a small market team & Attanasio is “cheap” … otherwise, this would be a $1M question 😏

I remember being furious at Coun$ell for his inability to adjust the top of the order & letting Yelich repeatedly ground out to 2nd Base game after game. 

It can’t be that hard to shuffle the deck occasionally when shutouts are the norm

Off topic question: Who is the person in the picture under your name (as wrestler, I assume)?

Dick the Bruiser, The Crushers tag team partner.

Good call, "Yelich repeatedly ground out to 2nd Base game"

[duewizard]

A RUN!!!!

[duewizard]

Jake Bauers Cy Young Silver Slugger

[Jopal78]

Just play Bauers every day till he begins to fail, no need to play a cameron or yelich in the outfield

[Brian]

Bauers gives Brewers 1st lead in 3 games. 

[Underachiever]

I know I am a broken record on this, but the thing that is so frustrating is that the Brewers need Contreras, Turang, Hoskins and Bauers to see 18 pitches to score just one single run. 

One pitch later, the game is tied. 

[Brewer77]

14 Ks through Henderson’s first 9 MLB IP. Not too shabby

[duewizard]

Ump has been pretty bad today
