Brewers (Gasser) vs Twins (Ober): 5/17/26, 1:10pm

[HarryDoyle]

What a bad non-challenge. You need all the help you can get, Rengifo.

[willie key]

Our whole offense is hopefully our pitching keeps is around d long enough until the other team messes up a routine play.     Crazy strategy

[adambr2]

What continuing purpose does Rengifo serve on this roster over Jett Williams?

[Nola Beery]

I'm sure Ortiz is a fine human being, but whenever he comes up to bat, I lose hope of scoring or even continuing an inning.  (OK, a walk; woot.)

Anybody miss Keston Hiura?

<pause>

How about Isaac Collins or Caleb Durbin?

He would have just had the same result in a more favorable count.

[Bulldogboy]

This series against Cubs should be a real eye opener. Offense will be tested. Just too many dead spots.

[Ro Mueller]

We’re 0-for-11 with runners in scoring position.

Rengifo is 0-for-his-last-11.

Let’s win anyway. Somehow, someway.

[trwi7]

Seems like we could use a run that we possibly gave away by Hamilton bunting.

[MilwaukeeBeers]

These dead spots have quality players waiting in the wings. The Rengifo experiment needs to be finished. Jett come on up. 

[Cool Hand Lucroy]

Benefit of that inning is getting all the way around to the top of the order.

Hasn't been a good series for the Brewers offensively. Lucky to get 2 of 3, honestly.

Bullpen will be rested and in good shape for the Cubs series. We'll see if we get any roster moves on the infield.

On the whole, not going to complain about a 4-2 week.

Going to have to be better this week hitting with ducks on the pond.

Better than this series for sure but they're 3rd in MLB with RISP in 2026.

A 3 spot here would be a channel changer.

[BruisedCrew]

For the weekend it’s 3 for 31 with RISP, and the one hit last night didn’t drive in a run. 

They’ve been just as bad advancing runners 

[Bulldogboy]

Defense cost you this ball game 

[adambr2]

Good grief, Bauers. What a terrible throw. I thought he wasn’t even going to try it with 1 out.

[yfinn6]

An experienced left field makes that play close and now the Brewers have a damn two run deficit. 

[yourout]

Not a great day defensively either.

You must not be following the chat. Ortiz got on base all 4 times today. Today we are mad at Hamilton and Rengifo and a little bit Gasser and probably still Perkins somehow. Check back in tomorrow for the usual Ortiz fury I would think.

[Brian]

Did they say the Brewers have left 10 stranded on base today? That is pathetic. 

[Nola Beery]

When I was a mediocre but enthusiastic softball coach, and when I knew the other team's weakest batter was up, I would give a sign to our pitcher that meant "just throw strikes and she'll get out."  That's the sign I'd throw if Ortiz* came up to bat, 

*insert any name here 

[Bulldogboy]

Bill burning challenges before your last ab is crazy work.

I miss Collins and Durbin every game.  I also realize Durbin is struggling on Boston.  Maybe he just played better here with a different culture.

No one is “mad” at Blake Perkins. They just want him optioned. Or better yet, DFAed. That feeling hasn’t wavered from day to day.

I concede your point, sir! I have just been able to start paying attention to the game. I've been cooking at church and hanging curtain rods at home.  No excuse for ignorance, though; thanks for calling me out.
