He’s a dumb baseball player for a catcher though.    

I realize you are just being emotional but if I may...

Career backup catchers and backup quarterbacks are the same thing. Their lack of elite talent is what keeps them as a backup... Their grasp of the game/position and ability to keep a clubhouse pointed straight is what keeps them in the league. 

Sanchez playing 10 years in the league primarily as a backup is the only stat you need to know his value is not tied to his ability to hit opposite field singles.

Hate the challenges all you want and that is fine. Calling him dumb is misunderstanding the sport unfortunately.

I have zero interest in moving Pratt or Lara up in the batting order. No reason to put any extra or perceived pressure on them.

I see Brewers DFA'd Lance McCullers after todays game.

Lol, Sanchez over 1000 foul balls off the face mask will do that.  Ask Brett Farve.

He’s in the upper .000001% but n baseball talent in the world  and that’s why he’s in the league

He plays one of the toughest position in all of sports so there is a respect in that and I think you are conveying that above.   But I can parse out being a catcher to just being an overall dumb baseball player.   I’ve seen enough

to be honest I don’t even know how smart a catcher he is.   He seems to have a lot of disagreements over pitch calls on the field (but I would defer to Murphy on that.  I think he would have been jettisoned out of here on the quick with this young staff if he was bad)

A couple of things to remember about seeing empty seats on TV. First today was quite hot and humid, so a lot of people with seats in the sun might have moved to another location.

The empty sections were in the shade and were empty the whole game.

I wasn’t paying any attention to empty seats but the announced attendance was a little over 39,000 which isn’t bad for a game against a nondescript opponent.

For most games there are literally thousands of people who don’t sit in their seats. They get tickets in the upper corners and spend the game roaming around the stadium or parking themselves at one of the bars or lounges.  Take a walk around the stadium in the middle of the game sometime and see how many people are in the shops or getting concessions or whatever. 
 

As for Miz pitching I don’t think that many people make late decisions to,attend a game based on who’s pitching. Miz pitching today wasn’t even known until about Friday. 

I'm not going to a game this year because I don't want to deal with the construction going on down there.

Agreed - we always seem to struggle in San Francisco. Can we trade for Logan Webb before we have to face him on Wednesday? That guy absolutely kills us.

11-12 since 2018.

He really has owned our ass.

I was there today and it was a full house, I don't think 39K was that far off. It was hot and humid even in the shade without much of a breeze, so all the areas with AC were crowded. 

[JoeyWiemerTruther]

Turang with 500 career hits good for 38th most all time for the Brewers

The darkest memory of playing in SF was in early September 2014 when the Brewers got swept in lopsided fashion to wipe out the last of a division lead that they had held for several months. That kicked off a complete collapse that saw them quickly fall out of contention.

Regarding Lara, this at-bat is a great example of why he impresses me. He just controls the strike zone.

pitch 1: great eye, ump calls strike on a ball

Pitch 2: same thing. Great take, bad call. Should be 2-0 but it’s 0-2 now. Doesn’t risk the challenge.

most guys (veterans) are frustrated and hacking now. Gotta protect the plate. He lays off and gets the call.

now the 4th is the first one actually in the strike zone and he laces a double.

Give me more of that

the cardinal game was a ghost town.  can't blame fans for not wanting to sit in 95 degree heat with 90 percent humidity and no wind
