Happy Friday, everyone, and welcome to this week’s edition of the Brew Crew Ball Mailbag!
The Brewers dropped the rubber match against the Mets last night, falling 5-4 thanks to some questionable defense and an ill-advised send in the bottom of the ninth.

Why does Counsell keep playing Hiura against LHP?
The Brewers have faced three left-handed starters since Counsell was asked about Hiura’s reverse splits almost two weeks ago, and he has started against just one of them.
