109 MPH off the bat on his last lineout

True … but Mitchell is still 3 for 34 

[Bulldogboy]

Ridiculous challenge 

[rccola42]

What does Contreras do well on the field at this point besides get people to clap as he walks to the plate?

[MilwaukeeBeers]

Scorching hot take to some. I don't like Contreras. He has done nothing well for a while and his effort is piss poor. His brother's makeup maybe has rubbed off on him. Would have dealt him for that Boston package in a Milwaukee minute,

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

At a minimum I would like to see a couple of these Biloxi guys going to Nashville to be on a path for the possibility of being added for September if they continue to do well.

[YelichPosse]

Wild Bill is driving me insane lately - terrible look of low effort. I know it’s not the case but sheesh 🙄

I think we lead the league in hit-it-hard/Just-missed-it percentage

Contreras might as well just start lighting money on fire in the batters box. His long term free agent contract is dying in front of our eyes.

Anyone throwing big money at him will be disappointed.

[Bulldogboy]

Stallings looks good to me. Hope they keep him but doubt they will 

[edfunderburk]

Yoho > Sproat

[edfunderburk]

Why is Ashby warming in the bullpen?

Does Murphy choose his relievers for the day before the game starts?

Put Adams in the lineup to shake things up. Worth a shot.

[trwi7]

Come on Jackson.  You know he's not trying to hit you, you're pretty easy to get out right now.

Chourio and Contreras have combined for one home run since July 5th. One. Inexcusably terrible. We need someone to wake the hell up. Yelich has one himself since then. 

[edfunderburk]

I seldom like Murphy’s “in game” decisions, but I must admit … I loved him yanking Sproat in the middle of an at bat after throwing two wild pitches. I didn’t mind the boo birds either.

Hopefully, we’ve seen the last of Sproat this season … & I’m honestly okay if we trade him in the offseason rather than endure another year of failure from him every six days. 

[rccola42]

Yelich now below the .700 OPS line

[adambr2]

Keep it up with Yeli, Murph. He sure is making you look good.

The power outage is like what happened to the Brewers in 1983.   

[trwi7]

Nothing like Yelich and Contreras to kill a promising inning.

I would consider the first one a passed ball due to piss poor effort by Contreras,

[folly412]

An IL trip would be great, but it seems Yelich's back only flares up when he's doing well.  

[Bulldogboy]

Lou Gerihg looked better the season he retired with AlS than Yelich does now. Sad

[titletownking]

I repeat, 2 home runs total from your 2-4 hitters for a month. That is some of the worst baseball I’ve ever seen from the top of your lineup. Truly awful. 

[edfunderburk]

Murphy is a complete idiot for keeping Yelich in the lineup every day … especially at the top of the order. He should play occasionally & bat in the bottom third. He too should be jettisoned in the offseason. Eat the ugly contract. Ply a young, hungry, talented prospect.

Thanks Jake....
