Brewers (Harrison) vs Diamondbacks (Cabrera): 7/3/26, 8:45pm

[Bulldogboy]

The manager isn't good. I don’t want to start trouble but he's just not great. Sorry. Credit for what he's done but we need a game manager not a inspirational speaker.

I hate burning through our “A bullpen” in this game

And people on Twitter are freaking out that he pinch hit for Frelick, one of the hottest hitters when you had Pratt and Hamilton(or Ortiz) coming up.

But can someone correct me here... I feel like I'm going crazy, did the Brewers not make 4 outs last inning?

Vaughn grounded into a FC.
Pratt hit into a Double play
And then Ortiz struck out...

Pratt did not hit into a DP. He just bunted in front of the plate and Bauers was caught off third.

Pratt wasn't a DP

At some point Murphy is going to realize there's no platoon advantage pinch hitting Ortiz for Hamilton and all you're doing is wasting a bench player.

I guess, but Ortiz is a bench player that should only replace one player, Hamilton.  

 * Not saying I expected a better result from that Oriz at-bat.

Pratt was a FC. Bauers thrown out trying to go back to third on the safety squeeze

Pratt popped up the bunt. Bauers was thrown out because it was a safety squeeze. The play before the pitcher didn't get over to 1B and Perdomo didn't throw the ball. We HAD an out at 2B. 

And Ortiz struck out... 

[liveforoctober]

With the Cubs getting smacked today ... really would love to make them pay for it and grab this one.

[yourout]

Can't blame the bullpen. 

Solid work.

[Marc Newfield of Dreams]

He didn't pop the bunt up. It was a high bounce.

Oh, ok. I thought he popped the bunt up. 

That makes sense. I was sure he popped it up(I'm not watching super close). 

Really thought I saw that rare circumstance where everyone misses the obvious like Colorado in the early 90s getting 5 downs to get a 1st down... but nope, just didn't realize Pratt  didn't pop it up. 

[trwi7]

I wonder if Front Row Amy starts off the bottom of the 1st just putting 4-3 on her scorecard.

[yourout]

Just not our night.

[Bulldogboy]

Designated Hitter who can't hit. 

[MilwaukeeBeers]

Camera man had me fooled there. I thought that was 15 rows back. 

[HarryDoyle]

Yelich isn't slumping, this is just who he is now. 90% of his at bats end in a walk, strikeout or a rollover to the right side.

[HarryDoyle]

Why take a few pitches to give Turang a chance to get in scoring position when you can just swing at a first pitch plenty high fastball and fly out?

[wiguy94]

I don't want to ever hear Murphy talk about "win today" crap when he continues to trot Yelich out as our leadoff hitter every day. You can't say you care about winning with this guy hitting above 7 in the batting order.

[willie key]

This is what you do with Yelich.   Sit him out for a week or two what ever the injury rules are.     When he comes back from rest usually does some decent work.    Then when he starts sucking again.  Then put him back on injured list and repeat the cycle.   Maybe that’s the only way to get anything positive for the rest of career 

[eli.durie30]

Please bench Yelich.. move him down in the lineup something. Something please. I'm begging you Pat. 

[Bulldogboy]

You have to wonder why Yelich doesn't go in to the manager and say hey skip move me down in the order. I don’t think I'm helping anyone like this. Be a team first guy.

[edfunderburk]

Who would pitch in the 10th for Milwaukee?

[Bulldogboy]

Notice how they steal with two outs?

His swing needs to be reworked. 

He needs to adjust to his diminishing physical skills and the old swing is not going to work anymore

[82brewcrew82]

I said it the other night and got qestioned but the sloppy play just continues.  That is on Murphy.

Has any player ever just gone to the manager and admitted they suck?
