Minor League Callup vs Minor League Callup. I'm predicting a 10-8 shootout or a 2-1 pitchers duel with only one run given up by a starter. Nothing else in between

[SoCal Brew Crew Fan]

Eovaldi pitched really well last time we saw him, but Greinke at MP was better...

Not really sure why Aoki isn't starting. I know he's been starting a lot lately but I think he's earned it. I'd rather just have him as the everyday CF against RHP and RF against LHP (with Hart at 1B). That being said, hopefully Morgan can get it going.

I have a feeling we will look back in five years and ask, "Who the heck were Fiers and Maldonado???"

[PrinceEatMeat]

Apparently this is the first time ever that a pitcher and catcher have both made their first major league starts in the same game.

For the Brewers or in the history of the game? If it's in history, that's pretty shocking, seeing as how long the game has been around.

[dlk9s]

I guess this is pretty exciting.

Do you have a GIF for that?

Yeah it's for the Brewers. Sorry I should've clarified.

Please, please, please stay healthy and intact tonight, Brewers.

I love you Ryan Braun. I loved that he knew that was gone as well. Big time power.

[dlk9s]

Oh, Ryan Braun...

solid 1st inning for Fiers

[ELCABALLO45]

Nothing like chanting "MVP" for a guy who has never won the award and its in May.

[Yeti73]

Nice start there Fiers!

[TURBO]

That MVP chant when Kemp comes up is ridiculous... Especially after Braun just takes one deep!

 

Let them chant!

 

I hope Braun does it again just to anger the crowd!!

[Yeti73]

Did Fiers throw a single change up?

[Bombers]

Great first inning by Fiers!

[adambr2]

Does Scully realize that Green made the last out in the 1st?

[ninja33]

vin scully is very confused.

[ReverendBrewmeister]

1st AB brings a hit for Maldonado. Way to mark the first MLB career start.

[ELCABALLO45]

Nice to see for Maldonado!

[adambr2]

The MVP chants don't really bother me. Fans chant MVP for their best, MVP-caliber player all the time. It is a little ridiculous in May, though, and really comes off as sour grapes if they're just doing it because of Braun's presence there.
