I disagree with Counsell's decision to choose a game of that magnitude to sit Yelich, but I certainly don't question Yelich over it or believed for a second that he asked to be sat.

Well, we’re sitting behind a keyboard and he basically lives with these guys, so I’m guessing he has a better gauge of what is going in with the players than we do. It sounds like CC noticed he was struggling mentally or physically and talked to him. I don’t believe for a second if Yeli kicked and screamed and demanded to play that he would have played (see what I did there?).

 

I guess I don’t get the second guessing on stuff like this. CC has the best interest of the team AND the players in mind when he makes these decisions, it’s not like he’s trying to lose on purpose.

I didn't ever suggest he was trying to lose on purpose. I just struggle to believe that of all the days for Yelich to get a day off, it absolutely had to fall during those 3 crucial games. If that's the case, I think he should have proactively been sit during the Nats' series.

 

Its okay for me to have a difference of opinion and not agree with something Counsell did.

Some people seem to think that if your opinion differs with theirs, that you MUST be wrong...

 

It's a little ridiculous at times.

 

Healthy conversation works best when opinions differ, yet sometimes, people are looked down upon because they have a different opinion.

 

Makes no sense.

Yep. There is a difference between disagreeing with something and blind hatred. I'm sure most Brewer fans at this point do not agree with the decision to acquire Schoop, but that doesn't mean they hate David Stearns or think he wants to lose.

5 walks the past 2 innings. Gotta convert at least some of these chances. Instead we can't get any kind of hit. Perez has had 5 baserunners his last 2 ABs & did nothing. Ouch.

 

We ought to be beating up on the Giants.

Perez was hitting the ball alright there for a little bit, getting hits & bumping his BA into the mid/upper .260s. But it seems pretty ugly the past few games.

 

He's a regular now...
