No one initially covered the plate, and it looked for a second like he was just going to have to beat the guy with the ball in a foot race. Not ideal, but I can see how it happened. 

[BarremlensTSSC]

OK let's keep the ball in the park!

[Bacher108]

This team was not making horrible mistakes like that a week ago. Is the pressure of being out in front of everyone getting to them? They've been making more mistakes and stuggeling at the plate lately.

Base running stupidity is not putting pressure on the defense

He just was late to get back. Didn't realize the 3B had snuck behind hi.

[Sixtolezcano]

More poor base running decisions.

[adambr2]

Lockridge would have grounded into a double play to end the inning anyway… if you’re a believer that his bat result would have been the same.

Given the location of the 3B when he approached the bag it should have been pretty obvious he would be near the bag.  I love Sal but that was really foolish.

How do you feel about a Packer jersey at a Brewer game?

[kevinisaname]

Ten in a row by Quintana. He's really bounced back. Nice play by Vaughn.

[kevinisaname]

Come on, offense. Make this a laugher so we don't have to use our big bullpen pieces today.

[jason21nl]

This team really needs a healthy Chourio to come back and start raking. 

[kevinisaname]

Two on. C'mon, Yeli!

[HarryDoyle]

I feel a three run dinger from Yelich here.

That first pitch had "three-run dinger" written all over it.

Middle middle and straight as a string.

[kevinisaname]

Ugh, Yeli had 3 great pitches to hit.

A lot of people have goals of going to every MLB park without any interest in the teams playing. I did go to a Phillies/Nationals game last year but I got decked out in Phillies gear. Mr. Royals doesn't bug me if he's just a Royals fan making the rounds. 

I don't care what people wear but the Packers jersey is weird unless they're also playing that day. You can't wear a plain tee or get a Mark Reynolds tee at Goodwill that day?

I would've been right if he had swung.

[wibadgers23]

Ugly AB by Yelich there.  Had all kinds of good pitches to hit.

[HarryDoyle]

Guess we'll just have to leave the dinger for Vaughn.

[kevinisaname]

Ump, come on, man.

[kevinisaname]

And he had to swing at two crap pitches because of it.
