That is what fans do: gripe about stuff they cannot control! Personally I don't feel like Perkins is going anywhere until Lockridge gets back. I like Perkins as a person, at least as far as you can tell from his media persona. But it does mystify me how he can go in two years from a serviceable option against LHP to someone you probably wouldn't hesitate to have a healthy Woodruff pinch hit for.

I cannot recall ever seeing a major league position player hitting under .100 two months into the season. That is quite impressive. Mid to late June return for Lockridge, that is three to four more weeks of basically sending a pitcher up to hit every two-three innings.

In case anyone has trouble finding it. This guy is hilarious. Gonna blow a gasket pretty soon, but good entertainment while it lasts.

I like Fitzpatrick better when he is limited to one inning.

I see Frelick wasted one in first inning 😈

Not watching but ESPN app has that first pitch to France completely within strike zone. Are Brewers out of challenges or is Sánchez even more clueless about strike zone than I thought?

That's about as disposable as they get, I suppose.

Matt Waldron threw 59 pitches Tuesday and Stammen has him out there again today for the 7th (and maybe 8th?). I guess maybe Waldron qualifies as disposable arm?

Found this on FB today, had a laugh.

Lockridge makes sense with all of the lingering injuries we've seen in the OF late in season. Was kinda hoping not to see Gasser show up again. I get leaving Henderson off, hasn't seen any live action in two months, would be asking too much for him to come back and pitch meaningful innings at this point in season.

Assuming no Chourio tomorrow, I would almost rather see Yelich in LF and Jansen at DH instead of Collins starting in left. Collins is a little better from left side, Jansen's been hitting of late and Collins has not. Only thing that suffers a little with that model is LF defense, but it's not a huge difference.

The negative stuff is totally understandable and even appropriate. It's what fans do when their team is playing like horse$h*t and they can't do anything to control it. It's a prolonged version of the angst and anger you feel when Giannis clanks another free throw. You feel like you have a lot riding on it, and you control absolutely none of it, so you get anxious and pissy. What could be more human than that?

My biggest fear has become that the Brewers of the past three weeks is what we'll get in the postseason. Hence, three and done. Then I have to realize that what would make that even worse would be to get swept by the insufferable losers to the south. I hate to root for Padres because they are more dangerous than the Cubs, but if the Brewers have destined themselves to going out with nary a whimper, I would prefer that it be to anyone but the team of Harry Caray and the Ricketts family.

The Yeli leadoff experiment continues. They are 1-4 since Murphy moved him to top of lineup on 9/22. At least we know Murph isn't a results merchant 🙃

The massive dropoff over past three weeks is a problem. Team was clearly tired and needed a collective rest, but there is no switch you can turn off and then on again. It's not just Durbin, the entire team, with maybe the exception of Vaughn, has been struggling to hit. And then we have the lineup tweaks such as Yeli in the leadoff spot. I have a nagging feeling Murphy thinks that is a good thing, though I honestly have no clue what he sees in it. I just want it to stop.
