Marlins at Brewers; Sunday, July 27 @ 1:10 p.m.: Brandon Woodruff (1.65 ERA, 2.85 FIP) vs. Eury Pérez (3.23 ERA, 2.78 FIP)

[Cool Hand Lucroy]

We didn't hit at all on Friday. We hit the minimum amount yesterday (and pitched poorly). Today, we haven't hit at all again, plus a little bad luck.

Frustrating, but what are you going to do? This was definitely a "trap" series, but hopefully they can scrap one of those 5-hit innings and take it and then win a Cubs series.

Functionally, there's a big emotional difference between winning today and not, but not much of an actual one, what with 8 games left against the Cubs a solid lead in the WC standings.

Well, they fell in the trap then.

Turang playing shortstop? VERY interesting....

Turang at short and Durbin and 2nd makes so much sense if there is a bopper at 3B instead of Siegler...ill be very pleasantly surprised if thats more than a random Sunday late game lineup anomaly after typical head scratching punch hit decisions 

[kevinisaname]

Well, at least Jackson can hit.

[Fear The Chorizo]

Someone other than Chourio needs to hit the damn ball on this team today...lets go!

[kevinisaname]

Contreras sucks. Bad decision. I'm calling it here, I think, lol.

[HarryDoyle]

Chourio is single handedly keeping us in the game. Unfortunately, he needs to hit them over the wall for this team to score.

[82brewcrew82]

They deserve the L

[Fear The Chorizo]

Contreras cannot be in this lineup right now where he is penciled in.

Dammit Jackson - that is little league

[yfinn6]

God that sucks. 

[yourout]

Now that's some bad baseball.

And then he does that. Game is probably over with that.

So the player who is far worse for his career and still has an OPS 50 points lower and a batting average 20 points lower than William this year despite William’s struggles is going to be a better option? 

Seems like more of an emotional move than a rational one.

Good thing Contreras hit it to the right side there. Keep him in there.

[Fear The Chorizo]

Then Yelich takes two hittable fastballs

Gotta be hoping Perkins steals 2nd?

Then swings at a ball 6 inches off the plate

[NewerBrewer]

Contreras and Yelich are completely wasting Chourio's 20-game streak. It's unacceptable for them to be playing like this.

[Brian]

Chourio - what stupid baserunning. 

[yfinn6]

Leadoff double and the heart of the order says, "let's see how pathetic and stupid we can be". 

[kevinisaname]

Chourio and Vaughn are the only two I trust at this point. VAUGHN!

[yourout]

Vaughn needs to hit 3 or 4.

[treego14]

Vaughn is a hitter!

[Fear The Chorizo]

Vaughn!

He is not unconsciously hot...but still making some solid swings and giving the good at bats.

 

Huge steal by Perkins otherwise he would be standing on 3rd

I like Durbin, too.

[yourout]

It's a tie game late. You do not pull one of our two best hitters from the lineup

[YelichPosse]

Did not have Vaughn, Impact Player on my bingo card.

[Underachiever]

Thank god for that stolen base to allow the run to score
