Brewers (Crow) vs. Astros (Teng): 5/29/26, 7:10pm

Contreras over eager there. Now is it Vaughn for Bauers?

[yourout]

Do you pinch hit Vaughn for Bauers or Mitchell?

[MilwaukeeBeers]

Productive out but I don't think that was a smart approach

[jason21nl]

I’d have went with Vaughn here.

He can be optioned. No injury necessary.

I just don't think they're going to do that.  Murphy pretty clearly sees him as a clubhouse leader whether he's productive at the plate or not.  Assuming they want Lara playing every day it may take an actual injury (not a "you seem injured" injury) before he gets the call.  Otherwise he'd come up to take Perkins spot, for example and play maybe twice a week  We'll see I guess, but I'll be surprised if the team that gave Ortiz a full season last year pulls the plug on Frelick in late May or early June.

[MilwaukeeBeers]

Great situational execution

[BarremlensTSSC]

Well, I didn't have a groundout RBI in mind there but tie game!

[Bulldogboy]

That inning should have been bigger with any patience 

[yourout]

Not a good swing decision there by Vaughn.

It’s a head first slide and a safe call.

IIRC he had his labrum fixed.  Superman slide not advisable

It is nice to tie it up, however the Astos threw 2 legit strikes that inning. That had a chance to be a big one.

[nate82]

Not sure why you pinch hit for Mitchell there especially with 2-outs.  Yes Mitchell isn't great against LHP but with 2-outs it is better to just let him hit and see if he can come up with a hit.  Should have waited until Frelick was up to pinch hit.  

[BarremlensTSSC]

Regardless of that 1 pitch at bat and Astros likely starters the next two days I'd like to see Vaughn get at least one start this series.  I know Bauers has been fantastic but Vaughn as a late inning pinch hitter isn't his best usage imo

[folly412]

Going with Ashby.  Very smart.

[duewizard]

Vulture time!!!

It would be a big mistake bringing Lara up to play 2 times a week.

Bring him up, let him be the starter until he proves otherwise.

Sal shouldn't have a lock on a position if he plays like he has...  Hoping that as soon as the super 2 nonsense passes, that we'll see Lara starting every day, and Jett taking over 3B as well.

[RobertCrawley]

Knee buckling curve by Ashby.

[Gump]

The slider was NASTY

You would swear he was throwing a whiffle ball.

Not saying your wrong but I just don't see Murphy benching Frelick every day even if Lara is up.  His comments on Williams and the lack of history of offensive productivity with Hamilton and Ortiz probably make that a little more likely.

[Samurai Bucky]

Little Bobble on an easy play at short too?  Uggh

[RobertCrawley]

If it's tied in the bottom of the 9th, I'd bring Ashby back.

[MilwaukeeBeers]

I smell a Rengifo go ahead HR. 

[Underachiever]

Do you get the freaking hat game every ad break on mlb.tv? I see hardly any ads, just the hat game and a bunch of mlb promos. How do they make money?

The worst part is now Perkins is in the lineup for extra innings.
