Pirates (Chandler) vs Brewers (Sproat): 8/3/26, 6:40pm

[yourout]

Brewers might have the weakest hitting 2 through 4 hitters in the league right now.

Great stuff from Stallings to settle this game down

I like what I’ve seen so far from that guy

I still have some hope long term, we have seen that type of turn around before, but his 2026 season is very much done (it was weeks ago IMO)

I hate that he got another start. We need to beat this average Pirates team at some point. Sproat is supposed to be talented, but he’s been a nothing burger all season. I’m sick of him getting starts.

Going on 14 straight innings of zero runs.

And the part that irks me the most, is that he has been the same guy all year. It’s not like he’s had a good stretch. He’s been the same easy to frazzle, short outing, struggling to command guy all year. Great that he throws hard but he has little to no command. 

[brewers888]

All we heard is how we needed more pitching while ignoring that Yelich is hitting anywhere from 1-4 every night and hitting like a bad pitcher.

[edfunderburk]

By the end of the day, I simply want to watch a competitive game. When I saw Sproat was starting tonight, I knew Milwaukee would be behind early. This team may have a great record, but it is not playing good baseball. Yuck!

[brewers888]

It appears there were no good bats available and if thats the case so be it but how can you expect to win a championship with this punchless lineup.

[brewers888]

What is the excuse as to why Sproat has been given all these starts when he's been terrible all season. 

[willie key]

Last years team and this years early half team would fight back and give it a go in this game.    I just don’t see it anymore.     Disappointing 

[rccola42]

At this point, I imagine half the lineup looks forward to Sproat starts so that they can suck in peace.

Sproat is bout to find a plane ticket to Nashville in his locker 

The classic million dollar arm, 10 cent brain. Sproat needs to see the minors for the rest of the year to learn how to pitch.

Cubs are thrashing the Dodgers after a great trade deadline. 

Not the day I was hoping for…

[brewers888]

Any chance we can call up Made and Fischer to play third and DH because something has to change.

I’d rather the cubs win at least one, keeps us ahead of the dodgers and still sitting 5.5 up with Skubal going tomorrow for the dodgers 

[brooks_quichenick]

Nice job by the bottom of the order again, time for the top guys to pick them up.

[Bulldogboy]

Crazy how bottom of the order can hit but top is trash

[edfunderburk]

Why didn’t Ortiz go to 2nd Base on the throw home? 

[rccola42]

That was a prime NLCS AB from Turang

[yourout]

Mitchell 3 for 34

[82brewcrew82]

I just don't understand how the entire top of the order just forgets they've played baseball their entire lives all at once.  Not one of the top four looks like they have a clue right now and not one of them is actually this bad.

[edfunderburk]

We look terrible … this team needs to WAKE UP!

109 MPH off the bat on his last lineout

No way this group can win a 2026 World Series … not sure this roster - even with a few okay additions today - can win a playoff series
