Again why is he celebrating a meaningless homer down 9 to 1? 

It is baseball today. He did a muted version of what the. In’s so when they hit a homer. Really nbd. So many other things to complain about it is strange this is what you picked. I seem to remember Dodger playoff game either last year or the year before wheee they were down something like 10-0 and Mookie doubled. He did a dance on second base.

And one other thing , if someone is going to come up with a fake injury to get Assad  into the roster , it should be Soroka 

[Derwood]

Worst sports day ever

From a personal standpoint, this is better than a 3-2 loss.

Nico bomb.

How can we complain about it?

Just four or five more runs and they'll really be cooking with gasoline.

[Stratos]

Ian Happ doesn't give 2 effs about HR celebrations he's just doing what they do after every HR.  Not sure i've ever criticized Happ yet this decade, he's such a baller, seems like a great teammate and person, plays the game the right way and wants to win.  You can't ask for much else.

I’d love to know how rare it is to out homer a team 3-0 and trail by 6 in the 8th inning or at any point in a game.

Multiple things to complain about and everyone has pointed them out. I’m curious to know why he’s celebrating his personal accomplishment?  It’s seems strange. I understand PCA getting angry because he feels he let the team down in crucial moments.

When you're at the point of being so mad that an athlete can hit the ball 415 feet and you're still mad at them, it's rarely the athlete doing something wrong in that moment.

Brewers have scored 9 runs with no HR.   I guess this is how they do it.

True but that error in the 1st inning by Hoerner cost several runs. Just two of the six runs were earned that inning. Unfortunately that error was very costly

Similar to what I always used to say to my daughters. If you have issues with multiple different people about different things you might want to look in the mirror and see who the problem is.

Boyd on short rest against a team that has blasted him this season looks even worse after the Brewers got shut down by Civale and Ben Brown of all people

Sure. He was great in a 6 run game. Wouldn’t trust him in a one run game. And I didn’t even say he suckled. I think he has a lot of potential but too unreliable right now. When he is good, he is very good. But when he unravels he can’t get it back.

And there it is. Someone said Happ hitting a homer would somehow have his haters comment against him. Right on que, Caesar responds. 

I thought it would be something like "He sucks, only homers in garbage time" but that works.

Dansby doubles with 2 outs in the 9th trailing by 6. Maybe he should try hitting when it counts…….. Is that good???!

Changing the pitcher here would be a small victory.
