It appears this team thinks the only way to score runs is with the long ball

There looks to be a complete refusal to score runs any other way or swing for anything other than a home run.

it’s not like he doesn’t have options. Vidro and Johjima are both on the bench and both hit right handed

Its because he has struck out in half of his at bats in the bigs this year

and Willie has a lot of heart. How they are related i am not sure.

Bob Uecker was great in that movie. I could imagine him suffering with the Brewers for many years like Niehaus has with the Mariners, but the Brewers don’t suck anymore. Everytime I hear Niehaus say fly away baseball to an opponents HR weakily, I feel its another chip on the shoulder for him, since he’s had to endure many depressing year.
