Though the Milwaukee Brewers came up short in last night’s game, falling to the Pirates 6-4 on a walk-off home run, it was one of the bigger nights of Craig Counsell’s managerial career. He made many moves that we are not used to seeing in the regular season, and were reminiscent of a postseason managerial style. Here are some of the decisions he made last night:
- Twenty-four players appeared in the game in some capacity. This included sixteen position players and eight pitchers. Only Domingo Santana, Ryan Braun, and Travis Shaw played the full game.
