Sanchez behind Bauers and in front of Mitchell and Lara against a righty is another one of those Murphy decision 🙄 

Three guys who can't stay off base let's put the slow guy hitting 200 in between them.

[BruisedCrew]

Ugh. Another golden opportunity wasted.

[edfunderburk]

There were several writers who like Drohan more than Harrison when the trade with the Red Sox took place. He appears to be a solid rotation piece for years to come. I certainly like him more than Sproat.

It's literally a joke and an insult to keep hitting Yelich leadoff. One of the worst hitters on the team.

[adambr2]

You can’t lead off a guy who literally cannot even hit a slider. It’s becoming insanity.

[HarryDoyle]

The scouting report on Yelich is obvious to anybody with two IQ points to rub together and start a fire.

[edfunderburk]

I’m seething every time Yelich approaches the batter’s box. How foolish to shove him out there when we are close to the break. Rest may help him … playing both games in a double header is foolish & hurts the team.

Mitchell, Chourio, Lara, Frelick, and Turang all are better options. 

Really anyone except Ortiz, honestly.

One of our best hitters didn't come to the plate in the first inning rally because he's stuck hitting 6th so Yelich can be leadoff. It's just a huge joke.

Okay easy now

Murphy can defend his decision, but it was a terrible decision to start Yelich in this game after what we saw in Game 1 … as well as in June & July so far.

Is Ashby starting to tire? I didnt watch game 1 but he has been missing middle middle alot it would seem. 

I am very excited that Yoho has stacked a couple really impressive appearances. Hopefully that can give him the staying power and earn some bigger situations.

Can’t be worse than what we’ve seen recently from Yelich. 

We all know that Jones should not be on the roster (either) … but he has as good a chance to scald one as this version of Yelich. 

[Bulldogboy]

Chourio as dh. I'm ready.

Not if you ask Murphy and Dillard. According to them, he's been proving himself all year long.

Evening Gents!  Got the feeling that we'll recover from the game 1 mess

 

[BruisedCrew]

Brewers hitters are looking mentally and/or physically tired in this game.

[jay87shot]

It might be a good time for Yeli to be "hurt" just take a couple weeks off around the break. It would give Vaughn, Lara, and Sal some more PT with the DH open. 

[yfinn6]

That's it, boys, keep giving him something to hit.

Generally you get a spark from your leadoff guy. Checks notes..... I see why there is no energy. 

[ReverendBrewmeister]

Looks like Valdez will take the mantle as the Pirates’ pain in the side against the Brewers.

[folly412]

Not even a bad pitch.  Just someone so locked in he's going to hit anything out.  Don't give him anything close.

[eli.durie30]

See you after the all star break...
