    WOW, I don't know if Bregman looked pathetic on that swing or it was a good sign that he showed some emotion on it!

    Let Diaz play 3rd. At least he swings at strikes. Problem solved.

    Tough to sit Bregman but Diaz would contribute more.

    Bregman hasn't been good for a couple of years now. I don't see him as a cornerstone guy anymore tbh. It doesn't help he hasn't delivered like the other core players in the playoffs.

    Diaz got the team's first of only two hits yesterday. Then again, Bregman got the second.

    Yeah. Honestly, Diaz should get the start at this rate. I’d go Yuli, Brantley, Altuve, Alvarez, Correa, Tucker, Bregman, Maldy, Pitcher for Game 5.

    Marwin better D right? But Diaz better bat. Perhaps start Diaz and use Marwin as a defensive sub.

    One cool thing… we are at the farthest point away from another bregman at bat.

    How long are they going to put up with this Bregman? Hey Bregman maybe you should swing on the first pitch. Try a different approach at the plate.

    2 runs must seem like a big lead for Greinke right now.

    Bregman's new wife has taken away his mojo.

    Hopefully he comes up with a man on next time and Dusty calls a hit and run. Make the dude swing.

    Bregman is showing a pattern I think that the pitchers are exploiting. He needs to change his approach at the plate. If he normally tries to take pitches then he needs to be aggressive on the first pitch ala Altuve. If he has been striking out swining on balls out of the zone then let those go with 2 strikes and if they punch you out on the corner then so be it.
