Brewers Manager Pat Murphy Benches Rookie Cooper Pratt in 10-Inning Loss to Mets
Murphy said the benching was meant to reinforce effort after Pratt failed to bunt and did not sprint on a fifth-inning pop-up.
- On Tuesday, Milwaukee Brewers manager Pat Murphy benched rookie shortstop Cooper Pratt after the player failed to run hard out of the box on a fifth-inning pop-up during a 3-2 loss to the New York Mets.
- Murphy, the National League Manager of the Year, emphasized maintaining high standards for the Brewers, who hold the best record in the majors at 81-51 and are pursuing their first World Series appearance since 1982.
- Pratt, batting.259 with two homers and 18 RBIs in 49 games, failed to lay down a bunt in the third inning before pausing after his fifth-inning bloop single, which Murphy noted should have been a double.
- Pinch-Runner David Hamilton entered the game but committed a walk-off throwing error at third base in the 10th inning, sealing the 3-2 defeat for Milwaukee against the Mets.
- The 22-year-old rookie offered no arguments afterward, admitting, "There is no excuse," and adding he should have been running hard regardless of the result as he learns the team's expectations.
