The hawing household road trip to Kansas City is underway! We are staying in a hotel near the ballpark (as are other Wisconsinites, based on a peek at the parking lot cars) and hope to catch some of the Brewers' batting practice. I have no 80s gear to join in with their dress-up theme from yesterday, but I do have a ball-glove cap (purchased in the 21st century). Had I known they were going to go 80s, I would have 100% brought my circa-1987 Brewers painter's cap, which still exists.

 

Saw a billboard along the highway, and I wish we hadn't been at highway speed so I'd have time to snap it. It's a Royals ad which says EXPERIENCE next to a photo of Ned. :)

 

Anyone got messages for me to pass on to either the ex- or current Brewers, post them here!

Remember: the Brewers never panic like you do.

Mendoza's peripherals are pretty brutal. Zips actually projects him to have a K/BB ratio <1.

 

So, we should probably expect 6 IP, 5 K, 1 BB, 2 H, 1 ER out of Mendoza.

 

So...you're saying we'll hit below the Mendoza line tonight?

Dear Crew,

 

My social and business calendar is filling up quickly this summer. If you want to keep your daiyl spot in the rotation, this road trip is the time to take positive steps to make it happen.

This is exactly the kind of pitcher we struggle against, so this is no surprise.

 

Do they ever charge the mound in Japan? I always wonder how different the game is over there.

I believe it's Korea, but same neck of the woods:
