I read elsewhere that Lewis has been dealing with a shoulder problem. I'm not a fan of his swing, his demeanor, or his defensive IQ, but an injury could be at least a partial explanation for the drop-off in his offense.

Same as Buck, then. Get him on the IL and OFF the field.

So glad to see Jenkins begin hitting like everyone thought he could.  Sure, as heck will give him a better winter than had he finished hitting 1 for 10.  Hopefully, he will keep getting some hits these last few games. 

Will continue believing that Prielipp will become an ACE level pitcher, perhaps as soon as 2028.

It's impossible, of course, to know what a young pitcher will become, but it's abundantly clear that Prielipp's ceiling is very high. With continued health and more experience, he might be pretty special.

And best of all SE23, he is a Badger (state, not school).

Well, it would be better if he was a Hawkeye, but I'm partial to all with Midwestern roots!

E8 on that play Trout dropped. How the heck is that a hit?

Left his feet.

Performances from Walker Jenkins and Connor Prielipp make the final score irrelevant.  It's progress and encouraging signs of what they may have in the future.
