Really need to get the offense going.

We have not played our A lineup in weeks. It's crazy.

[yourout]

That's the price you pay for having Bauers in left

[adambr2]

How’s Bauers working out as your everyday LFer, Murph?

[82brewcrew82]

Fielding errors, pitching lapses, and little offense.  Not looking good of late.

[wibadgers23]

Our offense stinks and the Reds have the lead.  That's probably game right there.

[HarryDoyle]

Can't play the Angels every day.

[Samurai Bucky]

Crown check for Murphy for putting Bauers out there.  
 

Be better, Murph. 

[yourout]

Not our night.

[HarryDoyle]

This isn't our night. Lots of seeing eye hits to start and now that.

[Bulldogboy]

Murphy trying to avoid the Cubs? Only explanation. 

[wOOgiE22]

Are you kidding me on that. Go from a double play to 2 on. 

[willie key]

I’m ok with Priester losing his streak here.    The superstitious side of me says it would happen in the playoffs.

On second thought . . . 

[yourout]

I'm torn on whether I would rather have the Mets or the reds in the playoffs.

Yeah, those balls caroming off second base are as routine as it comes.

[BarremlensTSSC]

I might be going out on a limb here but it might be hard to win games if Yelich is the only guy hitting come the playoffs.

Come on, the Reds got two singles after the double was misplayed. I think Lux would have scored.

I'm not that confident against anyone at this point.  Whoever it is, is who it is.

[yfinn6]

Phillips has a nice arm.

Probably true.  Doesn't make it the right call.

Well, since you put it that way, it was okay for Bauers to commit that error.

Wicked movement

Yeah who's hitting the ball well right now?  I honestly can't think of anybody.  Bauers had a nice run for a bit but has cooled off.  We're just not very good right now and it's painful to watch.

[Cool Hand Lucroy]

With nearly a full week from the end of the regular season until the start of the playoffs, I don't think how we're playing right now matters at all. That said, it's a fact that we're not playing well.

A regular outfielder gets to the first “double”.  Bauers did not take a good angle nor did he bust it the entire path.
