That’s a season sweep of the Dodgers by the Brewers and three losses to start the second half of the season. The bats showed only a brief sign of life amid their general struggle, the defense was entirely embarrassing, which helped mess up an already shaky pitching staff, the baserunning may have cost a miracle comeback, and oh yeah, Freddie Freeman might be seriously hurt after getting hit on the wrist.
Freddie Freeman left the game with a left wrist contusion.

Update: Maybe there’s hope?
If Freddie Freeman can't go tomorrow, Dalton Rushing will be at first base, Dave Roberts said. https://t.co/uOzMU4wE1U

Absolutely fucked.
Losing this by the margin of the defensive fuckups is just the final kick in the nuts, lol.

Literally needed to make one of three defensive/baserunning plays or so, or come up with any kind of big hit, and they couldn’t do it. Pathetic stuff.
First run was a tough play, but I'm sure they think it had to be made. pic.twitter.com/P47IROSEet

This throw by Ruiz and that being ruled a "double", lol. pic.twitter.com/GrkDwfn4Qd

jogging to third, standing there watching the play with 2 outs, so sick of this dude’s mistakes on the basepaths pic.twitter.com/bZJfs1qCYD

Not performing is one thing, but these constant dumbass plays are just not acceptable.
Caught up on the discourse.

-Mookie batting lead-off is fine. Trying it to get him back on track, looked better. Cause of that? Who knows.
-Kershaw being mad … surprised anybody is surprised. Good?
-Stop sign doesn't usually mean stop on the bag. Usually point for that.
