Wow! Lindor is such a good SS … but that was a little league error

Mets fans punching air yet again

OHH A BIG BREAK!

It seems like we've benefitted a lot from shoddy defense during this hot streak. The Dodgers come to mind.

[Underachiever]

Put the ball in play and good things can happen.

Been thinking the same. I can't believe how bad our opponents defenses have looked this year. Seems like high school at times

[YelichPosse]

Speed and Contact kills! 

[jason21nl]

Can they get Sal a freaking helmet that fits his head

[Bulldogboy]

Don't expect that from Lindor but put it in play.

I think we are so spoiled by the Brewers' defense that while you call it shoddy defense, other teams just call it defense.

Does Lindor get anyone out on that if he fields it cleanly? Would have been super close at 2nd and Ortiz has speed 

[tomoohka]

I'll take it!

[Simba2020]

Where does BA get Joey's stats with the bases juiced? This is the second time he's been the announcer and spit out non-existent Joey stats.

That strike three to Lindor was a helluva lot closer to being a strike than the one to Yelich.

It was closer, but it was still a ball. And it directly resulted in a run not scoring.

Durbin ran out of his last week too

[kevinisaname]

That didn't even seem like a bad pitch...

[BCF]

That was a great pitch by Myers on that homer. Right on the outside corner 

[Underachiever]

Marte has been a problem

[HarryDoyle]

I've seen enough of Alonzo and Marte.

[Bulldogboy]

This is why playoffs are scary. Brewers have to have a lot happening to score. These other contenders hammer a couple over the fence and you are heading home. Really need Yelich and Contreras to get it together

Although Marte’s old wheels kind of came in handy last night.

True. The “everybody contributes” way of winning still requires leadership from your highest paid and most experienced players. Yelich needs to be a much harder at bat.

He needs to go to the school the other brewers went too and shorten the damn swing

Yeah we didn't need him going nuts.

Yelly is lost again 

[jason21nl]

Would be cool if Yelich remembered how to hit
