The sad thing, when watching this, is that until quite recently, the Brewers were about as efficient on the road as Houston. What we're seeing is what other fanbases saw when they were watching the Crew roll into town. Except those fans had to leave the ballpark and wonder how that team was in contention, much less in first place.

I understand wanting to get Kotsay some at bats. I understand wanting to give Counsell a chance to boost his confidence. I understand doing this against a fairly punchless opponent at a time when Brewers starting pitchers have been on a role. But with the score 3-3 heading into the middle innings, it might be time to make some adjustments, RR. Maybe Hairston can pinch hit for one of those two guys at least?

I think it was more "How is that Brewers team so bad on the road?"

 

Well, to a well-eduacted fan, yes, But to the average guy who only follows his own team pretty closely it has to be hard to be impressed if you only see the Crew when they come to your town.

Aybar attempted a bunt to break up the no-hitter. I think that is an "expletive" move.

I've heard this a lot, and I can see the reasoning, I think. But, the Angels are in contention in the AL West. They are trying to win games. It's the middle of a close game. How special is a pitching accomplishment if the offense takes attacking strategies off the table for fear of getting in the way of potential history?

Come on, Narvy.

The average fan has no clue what the home/road splits are
