Milwaukee Brewers: Craig Counsell Fights Complacency
During Saturday’s game, Travis Shaw was benched after a lack of effort running to first. Milwaukee Brewers manager Craig Counsell did this in order to remind him that complacency will not win games.
In the sixth inning of the Milwaukee Brewers Saturday night game against the Philadelphia Phillies, Travis Shaw hit a routine ground ball back at the pitcher, Adam Morgan. Instead of running it out, he jogged down the line. It’s possible he could have been safe due to an inaccurate throw to first, but his lack of effort made him a sure out.
