Hard to give much credit to Arcia and Sogard, that was all Wilson. Any BF.net poster in the middle of a 6 pack can stand in a box and hold a bat on his shoulders if the pitcher can't find the zone.
I think Coles should have been gone after the offensive collapse. But yeah, I won't blame him for the Braun AB. That was just ugly. Braun pretty much decided when he got 2 strikes on him that he was swinging away and that he did.
I couldn't understand it either. His pitch count wasn't obscene, just let him finish the damn inning, he had 2 out. Instead you not only cough up the lead but double switch arguably your worst player into the game. Just dumb.
It was no pop out, he drove one to the wall and Cain got a great jump on it and caught it. But they called a balk on Hader so no play and Russell got 2nd.
Storm the Bastille! Same as last night. Offense struggling to score runs, we get the leadoff man on and Counsell can't get out of his own way. We have big bats on the bench for a reason. Use them!
We have had some brutal offenses over the last couple decades, too. There's a serious problem that goes beyond personnel if you can't find a way to score runs with the 1-5 in this lineup. Yelich or no Yelich.
