I’m pretty certain it’s not a rule that you have to round to the right or stay in foul territory. You can come back to first in fair territory as long as you didn’t make an attempt to go to 2nd. Not even a flinch.

I've seen plenty of guys finish in fair territory on that play. The rule is showing intent to go to the next base, not a jab step and a shoulder shrug. It's a judgement call and it was a bad one.

[TURBO]

Losing this game will suck, and suck hard.

[brewers888]

Imagine having nearly 30 million tied up in CF that cant hit.

[trwi7]

That was the most obvious at bat ever. Hiura couldn't catch up to two 96 mph fastballs so Garrett throws him another one, he barely gets a piece of it and Hiura knows he can't hit high fastballs so he gears up for another one while Garrett throws a slider in the dirt. Game over.

Try scoring some runs. It can't be all on the pitching to be nearly perfect every night.

[mtrebs]

This lack of offense stinks. I wish they’d send Hiura down for the rest of the season.

[AKCheesehead]

I wonder when the last time was that the Brewers batted through 6 innings without striking out.

[brewers888]

What downside would there be to hiring a new hitting coach. Things certainly can't get any worse for this offense.

Really need to take tomorrow's if we don't come back in this one. Would be a big bummer to let the Reds cut into a big chunk of our lead on our field heading into the break.

[brewers888]

If this team really thought that Rowdy was the answer at first base they wouldn't feel the need to pinch hit for him with Hiura.

Don't forget we play them the first three after the break.

Maybe Yelich just needs Lorenzo Cain back. Hasn’t been the same without him. Let’s just believe that when Cain comes back, so does Yelich.

Coaches coach, hitters hit. What difference does it make? You think a new coach is going to whisper some different words in the ears of Yelich and Hiura and they’ll start to rake?

[adambr2]

The team has hit fine ever since acquiring Adames overall. Adames has greatly improved, so has Urias.

 

I don't think a new hitting coach mid-season is going to get veterans like Yelich and JBJ to suddenly figure it out.

[pacopete4]

Keston’s last 28 days: .265/.373/.531/.903

 

Bump.

[PinaMadness]

FWIW, both Uecker and Levering said the Yelich play was a bad call, and pretty convincingly. Haudricourt tweeted it was a bad call and called the umpiring this series a crapshow. These are guys that are paid to be objective.

[Simba2020]

Had to get in a quick workout but to throw in my two cents on the call to Castellanos, I would say that is called a ball 75% of the time in the game today. Nothing to get worked up over.

 

I also truly feel that the Reds are the better team. They certainly need some bullpen help but if they can improve there and get back Sims and Antone, I see it going their way. Their starting pitching is nearly as good as ours so long as Gray is fine and I suspect he is. Definitely better offensively.

I don't know if things would improve but I see no downside whatsoever. Haines is flat out not good at his job.

[yfinn6]

These umps are fine.

[Nola Beery]

This loss is on me. When I tuned in, we had the lead and a no-hitter. Then the stupid shift and a hit. Then... Oh &$@/$*! Sorry.

[jason21nl]

If borderline balls are going to be called balls then borderline strikes need to be called strikes. Just garbage

[Jopal78]

Just get on the phone to Braun already and get him back, he could put up a .750 OPS in his sleep, which isn’t anything special but would be great on this team.

[brewers888]

Boxberger being released won't happen but I would be in favor of it.

Absolutely 100% agree with this.
