On a personal note, we're taking our twins to their first Brewers game today! We'll see how it goes!

On a personal note, we're taking our twins to their first Brewers game today! We'll see how it goes!

I hope the Brewers can win one for them! Especially considering the fact that we are 4-11 on Sundays this season, including 7 straight losses. I'd say we're due for a win! Have a good time!

[ClubLevel]

Lopez 4

Counsell 5

Braun 7

Fielder 3

Hart 9

Hardy 6

Gerut 8

Kendall 2

Looper 1

[crewcrazy]

Here's to hoping Looper can duplicate the results of his last start. I won't be able to follow along very closely today, but I'll be checking the score as much as I can. Hopefully Lowe struggles with keeping his sinker down, or they at least get to him before he figures it out and the shadows start to have an effect.

[PrinceEatMeat]

Oh joy, Gerut is playing today.

[razzzorsharp]

Bold Prediction: Gerut gets on base today!

[RoseBowlMtg]

Did the rip of Gerut take the place of ripping Counsell?

No, I still hate seeing CC in the lineup on an everyday basis (if this was directed at me). Next, you are going to tell me that I should accept Kendall playing everyday as well.

 

Also, I really don't mind Gerut and understand that Cameron needs days off. Like I said, I did predict he to get on base today.

[Cdiddy34]

prediction: gerut will make contact today.

[Invader3K]

Counsell is hitting like .300 with an OBP around .370. How anyone can complain about him right now is beyond me.

[SoCal Brew Crew Fan]

Whatever Counsell did during the offseason, Kendall needs to do for next year. The guy has been outstanding this year.

[logan82]

Yup, JJ hasn't been unlucky at all.

[strobl2]

Gerut finally got a hit.

[SoCal Brew Crew Fan]

Braden doing a nice Claudio Vargas impersonation today.

[SoCal Brew Crew Fan]

Uggh. Vargas couldn't bunt either.

[brewdude15]

Bold Prediction: Gerut gets on base today!

Keep making those "bold" predictions! Maybe predict something REALLY crazy next!

[owbc]

Can we please just score a run in a day game?

[razzzorsharp]

Counsell is hitting like .300 with an OBP around .370. How anyone can complain about him right now is beyond me.

Then I am beyond you. I don't feel as though he should be starting everyday. His numbers this year are very different than the last couple years and I think he is better suited as a twice a week start and PH'er off the bench. How anyone can disagree with me is beyond me.

[ClubLevel]

Alright, time to enjoy the rest of my Sunday.

 

Yet another reason why trading for a pitcher won't matter. The guys we have are way too inconsistent to make a playoff run this year. Might as well be sellers and get stronger for the next few years.

[owbc]

And boom goes the dynamite. Uggh. This team can't put together any kind of consistency.

[brewmann04]

well Looper has imploded in the 6th another Hr given up by Lopper. Fimnally here come the Boo Birds

[bklynbrewcrew]

What a shock seeing Looper inplode in the 6th inning. Once again this team is showing that they are mediocre at best. They would have to be out of their minds to gut the farm system for any pitcher.

[pebadger]

In day games does it matter if the pitching staff gives up more than 2 runs anyway?

[jeffy]

I don't know that they have much to sell, but, yeah, I can't really see the point of giving away a lot to get one good starter when the rest of them are mediocre or too young to really count on. I think the sensible thing is stand pat and hope they get lucky.
