I keep harping on it but the lighting of this one is like in a nursing home. It is very hard to watch.

Looks like a good picture on my end.

This offense is offensive … hard to watch night after night

I'm on the road watching on my laptop and I thought it was my display.

Bunty got gassed.

3-0 and then Skenes realized this guy can't hit so why not just put it right over the plate. 

[yourout]

Wonder what the splits are against Skenes.

[BCF]

Brewers should have 3 walks at least 

Contreras, Yelich and Hamilton all swung at ball 4

Would the Brewers actually win more with a different manager?  I think Murphy is managing with his heart more than his brain

Would we win more without him? My personal opinion is no, I don't think so. I think there are better in game guys who could handle the position but I just am not sure if there are better guys out there who could lead a band of 'misfits' the way he does.

This is just my opinion... but Murphy is a classic case of "love him for who he is, don't hate him for who he isn't" type of thing to me. What he brings to the position is an ability to lead and brings guys together, make them believe in themselves. I think it is a super fair critique to say some of his in game decisions and some of his lineup concoctions are suspect.

I just see guys like Bauers and Vaughn and Megill and Isaac Collins and Blake Perkins and Frelick and Mitchell and Priester and Durbin and Nick Mears and Grant Anderson etc etc etc ... and I just wonder how much of what they provide/d for us in the last 36 months is because of who their leader is. Would those guys and others have had as much success with Counsell's cold embrace being what greeted them in the dugout every day?

I think critiquing Murph is fair game and an opinion I wouldn't challenge. I also think we have a good one leading us and the warts he has are just another piece to the puzzle that we are needing to overcome, while also acknowledging those warts are few compared to the asset that he is.

I know it's Skenes but to think you didn't need a bat was crazy talk. Aarez is mashing since going to Phillies. Get him and make him your dh and you have a fire starter.

Hamilton would've K'd looking. It was middle-middle.

Strike 2 was up but 3 was a pipe shot.

Great post, I think this sums it up really well but I think the coaching/development folks get a lot of credit for some of what you noted.

[yourout]

Wonder what the pitch count is for Harrison.

[yourout]

Rocking the changeup tonight. 

Great to see 

[Bulldogboy]

Harrison is back at least

[willie key]

Any starting pitcher that’s in a slump has to love seeing that brewers line up

[82brewcrew82]

Well this is starting to border on dominant.  Would be nice to give him some runs to work with.

ESPN gamecast has him at 53 through 4ip.

[yourout]

Skenes has reverse split this season. 

LH ..220

RH ..243

For reference sake, he threw 5 2/3 IP at 68 pitches last Wednesday at High-A Wisconsin. I'd imagine he would be looking at a 70-85 maximum.
