I'm gonna be really bummed out when Lucroy comes back down to earth

[dlk9s]

Lucroy is hitting frickin .350 now for cripes sake. Certainly didn't think he was capable of being this type of offensive player. Won't hit 350 all year but 320 or so seems realistic. Thats awesome for a catcher. I can't remember the last time the Brewers had a C that was this talented offensively.

 

Dave Nilsson, methinks.

I'm gonna be really bummed out when Lucroy comes back down to earth

 

It will be mitigated by Rickie's rise to prominence.

[AZBrewCrew]

I can't say much about the Taliesin West as I haven't been there in several years but I remember it being fairly interesting. Downtown to there would probably be a 30-40 dollar cab ride. The Valley area is very spread out and our mass transit system (or lack of) isn't impressive.

[topper09er]

How is the scalping situation, the cheapest ticket is $5 per game but those are sold out online, I was hoping to get some of those from scalpers

[AZBrewCrew]

Its hit or miss with the scalping. Its pretty well monitored by Phoenix PD. The scalping area is just to the west of the ballpark right by Sliders bar. The nice thing about Chase Field is that the stadium is too big capacity wise for the market so it rarely sells out.

[AZBrewCrew]

They keep showing these "imposter" banana guys on TV. It was funny the other night but its quickly getting old

[brwrsfan]

This team is so bad with RISP it's hard to stomach it most days.

[jjgott]

Braun tried to bunt on strike three last at bat. What gives?

[trwi7]

Ryan Braun strikes out on missed bunt. Wut?

[AZBrewCrew]

Braun bunting with a 1-2 count???

[AZBrewCrew]

The Giants announcers are speculating that Braun has to be hurt which is their reasoning for his bunt

[trwi7]

What's the injury delay about?

[Marc Newfield of Dreams]

That was nasty... Sanchez took a foul tip off his throwing hand. Ouch.

[jjgott]

What's the injury delay about?

 

Catcher was hit in the hand with a foul ball

[AZBrewCrew]

Ball went off the catchers hand,hit one of his fingers. Appears to be ok

[reillymcshane]

What's the injury delay about?

They're checking out Izturis. They figure anyone hitting that poorly has something wrong with him.

[reillymcshane]

If we can't beat them, hurt them!

[trwi7]

How close did Belt come to a homer? Gameday has hit almost over the fence.

[crewcrazy]

More worried about K-Rod's one inning than I was about Veras' two.

[markedman5]

So would think an 8-0 lead would lead to a comfortable win.....guess not.

[crewcrazy]

Probably would have been more comfortable if the bullpen didn't have to pick up 8 innings, or even if the bullpen wasn't still reeling from the past couple nights. Lots of tired arms today.

[reillymcshane]

Aoki's making a case to play everyday. He just keeps getting on base. Gotta like that.

[reillymcshane]

Probably would have been more comfortable if the bullpen didn't have to pick up 8 innings, or even if the bullpen wasn't still reeling from the past couple nights. Lots of tired arms today.

At least we have tomorrow off.

[topper09er]

We at least we avoided the brooms. My career record at Brewer road games is 5-7, hopefully I will get over .500 this weekend in the desert.
