They take five minutes pumping up Sogard as a leadoff hitter because he sees a lot of pitches and draws a lot of walks. Then he proceeds to strike out on 3 pitches.

 

David Stearns is a pretty shrewd guy. Not many players are able to get David Stearns to drastically overpay for your services.

 

Eric Sogard has managed to do it twice.

Haha.

 

I wonder how much the different ball helped some of these guys year. Obviously Sogard had a solid year. Did the ball make a difference? Is the hitting coach changing something? I mean, these guys looked awful.

Does the ball now turn invisible halfway to the plate?

Games like this would be kinda fun if they were smacking the ball around other nights. But every night of just no offense has grown more than stale.
"This is a very simple game. You throw the ball, you catch the ball, you hit the ball. Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose, sometimes it rains." Think about that for a while.

If I had to pick, Keston is the biggest disappointment. It felt like we had a RH star emerging. Plenty of time to get in gear though.

I just looked this up because I was curious to see how badly the Brewers have been outscored in the early innings. Incredibly, in the first 4 innings they are being outscored 43-12.
