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

The anti-Ignitor.

They’re getting beat by one guy

I’m so tired of being down 2-0 every game.     Every ******* game

it’s just unsustainable to win at the clip we do

[edfunderburk]

What a waste of time to devote multiple hours to a team featuring Yelich as a leadoff hitter. You would never know we are 59-35 by watching today’s games. I love this team, but I hate bad baseball … & we gave the first game away. Now we’re in a position to get swept in Pittsburgh. It didn’t have to be this way, Murphy. 

[HarryDoyle]

Now that's intelligent hitting by Yelich.

[igor67]

Back to even again

[adambr2]

Thought for sure that was out. I will take it though.

[edfunderburk]

Why didn’t Reynolds catch that ball at the wall? Was there an issue with the sun? 

[adambr2]

See, it’s not just Chourio that sometimes doesn’t make the big play at the wall. 

[TwinsBrewersWorldSeries]

Kudos to Jackson for hustling and Turang comes through… now we gotta keep them off the scoreboard

[Yaz19]

I see by turning the game off after the bomb to put the Pirates up 2-0, good things are starting to happen.  I will keep it off for the sake of folks here.

At the end of the day, Murphy doesn’t have the guts to bench Yelich or even move him down in the order until the day comes when Yelich actually approaches him and tells him that he thinks he would be for the best interests of the team. 

I wonder what it will take for his ego to do just that?

I mean, if it were me, I think I'd have already had that conversation with Murphy...  I just think he'd want to do what is best for the team.

Of course, there is the chance that Yelich did that, and Murphy refused, which isn't out of the question.

[bensheeps]

Big swing from Turang

[TwinsBrewersWorldSeries]

Imagine if we would have let Bauers hit for himself in the last game… likely would have walked in a run instead of a game ending double play, and then Lara wins it for us

My answer is that I believe that Yelich believes he can still do it and isn’t just washed, and probably will continue to believe it longer than the rest of us.

There is also a chance that Yelich can’t see that he is not a good hitter anymore … thus, the manager, has to have the conversation. Either way, if there isn’t a change, Arnold must step in & suggest a change. 

[HarryDoyle]

We are SOOOOO bad at ABS challenges.

[adambr2]

Sanchez has a laundry list of god awful challenges this year but that one takes the cake. A 3-0 count all the way in the zone. What are you doing, man?

[Simba2020]

Why is Sanchez allowed to challenge when batting?

[trwi7]

Make him run sprints every time he gets a challenge wrong.  That one was ridiculous.

[TwinsBrewersWorldSeries]

Must cash in here

[igor67]

It would be a good time to get our own grand slam

[ReverendBrewmeister]

Sanchez burning through ABS challenges at bat. As regular as the sunrise and sunset.

[Smell the Glove]

 

***, Sanchez?
