well, OK. It's not quite even June.... I (we?) need to step off the ledge

If Isaac Collins is hitting 5th you don't have a major league lineup

Come on, you can do better than this. If some dudes watching on TV can see pitchers aren’t throwing him at strikes because he’s overly aggressive and swings at everything, I am 100% the coaches and manager has told him the same. For a teacher to effective the pupil needs to be willing to learn. 

But they also have to believe the guy coaching them knows what he's talking about.

I think we just did... But not in a good way.

Good job Isaac making up for that defense.

[yourout]

I know it's lefty vs lefty but I still have more confidence in Frelick here than 90% of the lineup.

[brewers888]

Shocking we aren't going to score here.

Remember in 2018 when we were swept by Pittsburgh in a five game series and then nearly made it to the World Series? 🤷‍♂️

I also remember that team having Ryan Braun, Lo Cain, Mike Moustakas and Josh Hader.

I know the bullprints been leaking quite a bit lately but the lack of hitting on this team is still it's Achilles heel.

[brewers888]

Pee Wee with the big hit.

[Brewer77]

Very nice series for Durbin

[HarryDoyle]

Say what you will about Durbin, but I'd still take him over Dunn and Capra every day of the week.

Ultimate low bar.... But yes.

[Frisbee Slider]

Ashby had sub three ERA last year. He can pitch in close games too?

[yourout]

Wow. That was as big a base running mistake as you can make.

[HarryDoyle]

Turang finally hangs on to one. 

And why would Pittsburgh think of challenging when Pham immediately ran to the dugout?

[brewers888]

Nice to win one but disappointing to only go 4-3 against those two teams.

That's probably the ceiling for this team.

[Nola Beery]

Wait... We won? And late?! Oh frabjous day, calloo callay!!!

[yourout]

Nice to get a late inning comeback.

[Nola Beery]

As soon as Canario got to second, I said "o no"

This would be the same management team that is batting him leadoff yes?

Disappointing but not surprising.

You know as well as anyone that batting order is a marginal tweak. He’s putting his most dynamic talent in the #1 spot. It’s Managing 101.
