Brewers (Sproat) vs Diamondbacks (Rodriguez): 7/5/26, 3:00pm

[trwi7]

I hate this D'backs announcer and they gave us the worst Brewers announcer too.

[edfunderburk]

Good grief 

[BruisedCrew]

I think the World Cup game might be a better entertainment choice this afternoon.

[edfunderburk]

Sproat is simply not a good pitcher yet

[folly412]

Gonna need Stallings to eat a good four innings today the way we're going.

I would rather watch … paint dry, women’s college softball, the WNBA … I have never & will never watch soccer or hockey 

However, if Sproat continues to throw batting practice to Arizona, I may watch an old western movie

It’s a matter of taste. I got  an appreciation for soccer watching my daughters play in high school and these games are the best teams and players in the world playing for the biggest prize in the sport. 

it’s easy enough to keep track of a baseball game through a game tracker and switch to it if it looks like something interesting might happen. The way the Brewers offense has been those moments haven’t been been coming very often.

If I have to listen to much more of Lane Grindle‘s “humor,” I’m going to rip my ears off my head. 

[edfunderburk]

Starting five lefties against a left handed All-Star pitcher was a bad decision

[titletownking]

We just aren’t doing much right at the moment. 

[edfunderburk]

As I posted in last night’s thread … it’s hard to watch this team play right now & grasp that we have the second best record in MLB. 

Milwaukee isn’t doing anything that well … the bullpen has been strong, starters are okay, defense is not great, offense has been mediocre recently, coaching has been below average.

Not sure how we are surviving a difficult stretch of games with this mix of players & performance. 

[Bulldogboy]

72 pitches in the 3rd. Jeez

[DesertBrew52]

I’m sittin’ here at the game on the 1st base line watching Rodriguez’ whopping 92mph fastball and slow motion off speed pitches. 
and our guys still put their foot on the far back line of the box.

and then Yelich bunts

[edfunderburk]

Does any other MLB team bunt as often as Milwaukee?

[Bulldogboy]

That wasn't a strike

[edfunderburk]

We seem to strike out at an alarmingly high rate with RISP

[adambr2]

Come on Vaughn. If you don’t like the call, challenge it. Don’t just stand there in the box silently disagreeing.

If only MLB allowed batters to challenge bad calls by the umpire

How many teams have the dh bunt in the 4th inning?

[HarryDoyle]

This offense is overmatched by top of the line pitching.

[Bulldogboy]

Bauers heading back towards 250. He is playing way to much.

This was not the day to rest Contreras. We could have used his bat against a LHP.

Probably about as many that have a DH with a .716 OPS.

[baseball101]

Sproat is battling.

[yourout]

4 for 37 with RISP
