Also,

 

Bill: Everybody is hitting hard this inning, even JBJ...

The pitchers even have to do the hitting on this offense.

I can’t wait for a pitcher to make the Wisconsin Lottery Home Run Leaderboard graphic.

[Eye Black]

Trent Grisham home runs against the Brewers: 0

 

Luis Urias / Eric Lauer home runs against the Padres: 2

 

...I’m just saying...

That isn't Lepay...

[Eye Black]

From @MLBRandomStats:

 

Brewers pitchers have more home runs than Indians and Rays first basemen combined

[TURBO]

Lauer at 71 pitches through 5.

 

Hopefully CC let's him go another inning.

Sometimes I say to myself, “give these guys a break, hitting major league pitching is really, really hard to do.” Then I watch Eric Lauer hit a home run and I’m like, “ahh, forget it.”

 

Ever see the video of Bartolo Colon hitting a homer? How hard can it be right?

[TURBO]

Tatis could have hit that pitch to the moon and back..........but he didn't.

[wallus]

If Lauer can be a good pitcher, maybe the trade that doesn't need to be mentioned wasn't a complete disaster?

[TURBO]

Lauer with a gem, and the only run support he has gotten was from himself...

 

You can't make this up.

Lauer has pitched pretty good this year, why not go to a 6 man rotation

[TURBO]

Be nice if we could put up a run here and give Lauer a shot at the win.

 

I know, I'm asking a lot.

[adambr2]

Cain and JBJ are kind of the lefty/righty version of the same player. Bloated salary, defense first, can't hit a lick.

I’m not sure which part of that is more surprising.

I know I'm going to regret saying this later, but Keston's defense seems a lot more passable at 1st than it did at 2nd.

 

As long as all he has to do is field bounding balls and step on the bag, he’s OK.

 

But, if he has to toss the ball anywhere, look out.

[Devinep]

Cain seems like he’s trying to get a higher launch angle for some reason. He’s been flying out medium to deep a ton this year

[SomewhereInTime]

Yelich has turned into a ground ball machine

[adambr2]

I want to feel bad for Yelich, but I just find myself being ticked off at him more than feeling sorry for him.

Whats happening been 3-2 pitch for over 2min now. Did somebody get ejected seeing as called strike 2 looks like should been ball4?

[yourout]

I get that they are not the 27 Yankees but they should not be this helpless at the plate.

At some point changes have to be made and after 100 games of this horrid hitting I think now would be a good time where maybe in a month someone different coaching them can put the train back on the rails.

It's almost the 8th inning and it's still 1-1.

The game is going on, but the MLB Gameday is frozen for some reason. O'Grady struck out. Then Yelich grounded out, Pina struck out, and Hiura walked.

[adambr2]

That Brewers HR leaderboard is the saddest thing ever.

Time dilation bubble. Must be a black hole nearby.
