Two runs, one on a wild pitch against not great pitching.  Offense definitely in a slide.

I have a lot of things from traveling over many years. Probably 30 different hats of different teams across different leagues, and random tees. Go through a lot of hats, some I don't want to get dirty or sweaty...good to have options. 

Yeah, I would feel dirty wearing a hat from any other team for any other reason...  I would never be able to wear a jersey, t-shirt, anything for that matter form any other MLB team than the Brewers.  Just doesn't compute for me.

Needless to say, I have probably 8 different Brewers hats, several T-Rats hats, and a few from an NFL team that I will not name, since it's not a Packers hat. (I am not a Packers fan)

Big difference here is that you are living from paycheck to paycheck most likely ... Willy is a multi-millionaire regardless of what team he is playing for and is set for life.

From that position of financial comfort, how about making a stand against the rigged league and staying with your friends/family?

dude, most pro athletes today are raised in weird cult like environments.  whether that be a "school" in the Dominican republic with the pressure of raising your loved ones out of poverty, or the California travel ball jet set.  

these guys don't see culture and "home" the way the rest of us do. "most" of them are NPCs

[jason21nl]

They played so far over their heads during the streak.  Took advantage of every mistake.  Almost always got the big hit.  That’s not happening right now.  They need a jolt 

[jason21nl]

I can’t do it anymore with umpires.   This is such BS

Well, begging got me nowhere, lol. It's Ashby time. Please be in control.

Or walk the first guy. Up to you, I guess...

[HarveysWBs]

No high strike for Ashby, eh? Cool, cool.

[yourout]

Give him hell...

Man, I don't get the hate for these things. I love them. They are better than so many others and kind of independently cool. We should wear the powder blue more.

Didn't like them at first, now I love them!  They really grew on me.

[willie key]

All our relievers do is walk the first guy.   It’s ****** ridiculous

Is Murphy arguing?

Yes. Big time.

[folly412]

He must be feeling ashamed of his umpiring performance to not toss Murph there.

I'm thinking his blood pressure is up about 20 points.

Yelich gets frustrating sometimes.   It’s like he has these massive games that build up his stats and then the next 4 games is trash

[BCF]

Another borderline pitch that should have been a strike

Tight or big zones are fine imo as long as you’re consistent for both teams. That’s my big thing is you need to be consistent with it

I hear this a lot and I don’t understand it. Consistently wrong is still wrong. No one would accept a line judge in tennis who consistently gave a little over the line or was tight on the line, as long as he was consistent with both sides.

I’d rather them just get the calls right because if they’re getting them wrong, chances are that they’re not going to be consistent about it either. They have the technology to get them right.

[82brewcrew82]

Umps been bad but so has Ashby

[kevinisaname]

What a terrible throw by William, what a great throw by Lockridge.

[treego14]

Ashby has great stuff, BUT I don't think he even knows where it's going half the time.

[HarryDoyle]

Damn, Matos is slow.

[nate82]

Strike em out throw ‘em out by the CF?

[treego14]

That a boy, Brandon!

[folly412]

Perfect throw by Lockridge.

[jason21nl]

They got the out at 3rd but my God what an awful throw from Contreras.   Wake the F up
