Wondering what’s going on with Bill Hall. The Nettleton native rarely plays anymore for the Milwaukee Brewers, who have gone to youngsters Matt Gamel and Casey McGehee and even veteran Craig Counsell at third base. That’s a crowd, and it’s beginning to look like Hall may not fit in. Since hitting those 35 home runs in 2006 and getting a big contract, he’s been spiraling down. Currently, Hall is batting .197 with five homers and 16 RBIs — and offense is what he is supposed to bring to the table. He went 0-for-4 with three strikeouts against Minnesota on Tuesday, his first game action since June 17. That’s one appearance in eight days. Not a good sign.
