  "account": "Milwaukee Brewers manager Pat Murphy removed rookie Cooper Pratt from the lineup in a 3-2 loss to the New York Mets on Tuesday night. Pratt had failed to execute a bunt properly and was slow to sprint after a bloop single. \"I’ve got to be better,\" Pratt stated, acknowledging that his performance was not winning baseball. Murphy emphasized the importance of hustling, particularly in a game where they were struggling to score. Pratt, who was signed to an eight-year, $50.75 million contract, debuted in the majors on June 16. The team, leading the majors with an 81-51 record, aims for their fourth consecutive NL Central title.",
  "summary": "Milwaukee Brewers rookie Cooper Pratt certainly got the message sent by manager Pat Murphy on Tuesday night. Murphy, the two-time defending National League Manager of the Year, benched Pratt after he failed to get a bunt down and didn’t run hard out of the batter's box on a bloop single during a 3-2 loss to the New York Mets in 10 innings. “I’ve got to be better,” Pratt said.",
