Yelich is toast, man. Murph needs to just stop getting so excited when he goes on some random somewhat hot streak for like 3 games. It’s just baseball. You have an entire season of data by now and the news is not good. 

I just don't see Murphy benching Yelich at any time.

Teams shouldn't have to take half the game to adjust to whatever strike zone the umpire is using that particular day.

If it’s the same for both sides, what difference does it make?

 

That’s the problem with ABS it addresses an alleged problem but in reality had a minuscule impact on games, and the solution created a competitive advantage for teams that are good at using challenges. 

[HarryDoyle]

Look for "Hammy" to come in and pinch hit after the pitching change.

[willie key]

Well.  You can put the late delayed flight as an excuse to stunk the next day in the bull crap bin

how many other of our excuses can be debunked

[trwi7]

Mitchell has had three great at bats today.  Wish his teammates would follow suit.

[just_some_guy]

Ugh.

Thought CC would make the call but didn't. And he had to agonize to not do it.

[MilwaukeeBeers]

Just squeeze our pitchers and give them all the corners with no challenges left

Just a pile of horse...

[yfinn6]

C'mon Jackson!

[trwi7]

If we don't score here that hold is going to be brutal.  I feel like he scores there.

He's been swinging a hot bat lately. He should be in the top 5 of the lineup.

It was a good stay call, but we've seen this team squander this exact same scenario not too long ago.

It wasn’t the same for both sides and often did have a lot more than a minuscule impact. 

“Good at using challenges” isn’t some inherent competitive advantage that some teams are just lucky to have and some teams aren’t. The solution is to get better at using them, not just hope and pray that the randomness of umpire error evens out and doesn’t hurt us in a big game.

Would have realllly been interesting to see if Murph had stuck with Ortiz. 

[82brewcrew82]

And we're winning.  This stating ther obviousl thing is fun.

[jason21nl]

Yes!!!!!!

[yfinn6]

No way Hammy doesn't pinch hit there. CC was damned if he did, damned if he didn't.

[adambr2]

So sweet to see Counsell pay for bringing in the infield 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[AKCheesehead]

Hell yes !

[Opening Day]

Lets go!!   And, I hope the traffic back to Chicago is terrible.

[jason21nl]

Come on Turang.  Gotta get him in 

[TwinsBrewersWorldSeries]

As I said…. R-E-L-A-X !!!!

suck it Cubs fans

[adambr2]

I honestly can’t even fault Counsell for trying to get Boyd through this inning. His bullpen is so bad.
