Which makes Brice hacking on 3-0 a little frustrating. 

Wasn’t it 2-0?

[yfinn6]

It may have been, my eyes aren't as good. I thought it was 3-0.

[82brewcrew82]

And we're still tied..........

[HarryDoyle]

This past week has shown more than ever why we needed ABS. The home plate umpires have been pretty bad lately.

Gasser missed his spot, and Contreras caught the ball inside Suzuki's batter's box. It was diving hard in.

Looks like Boyd just dropped a changeup in the exact spot that Gasser hit and Kelly challenged it immediately.

Kelly has been very good challenging today, far better than Contreras.

We need more ABS, frankly. Two challenges a game is not enough. Umpires can be wrong all day. If players are wrong just twice, they’re done.

[yfinn6]

Another ball. C'mon Ashby.

Come on Bill

[rccola42]

ABS is probably the worst thing to happen to us given our catchers' abilities.

[trwi7]

Still wish we had a challenge and we would if he hadn't challenged that first pitch to the first batter in the 6th.  Still pissed about how stupid that challenge was.

[adambr2]

Thanks for absolutely nothing today, Bill.

This challenge wasn't the problem.  The first one was.

[rccola42]

Stop pitching Ashby as if he's an "A" bullpen guy. He's just not that good.

[adambr2]

“Aaron Ashby: What could go wrong?”

You could say this about a lot of Brewers today. 

[MilwaukeeBeers]

That was ******* predictable 

[82brewcrew82]

Oh look, we're losing again......

Don’t think 2 runs will win it for either team. But there needs to be way more batting pressure put on Boyd than we’ve seen so far. Maybe the rookies can produce in the Bottom 7th.

I disagree. It’s dumb and they should get rid of it.

Or have all balls and strikes called automatically 

[NewerBrewer]

Can Yelich bunt? 

[yfinn6]

I just cannot watch Yelich anymore. He's so far off from being the player he was before he even came to Milwaukee. It's brutal.

Well I'm also holding the earlier non challenge against him as well.

He shouldn't have been in the lineup today to begin with, but he's a Murphy guy so....

I would be fine with it called automatically, 

Umpires suck too much to ever get rid of it. There is no going back now.
