Oh good. Cody Ransom again. Too bad there wasn't a recent callup that should be getting lots of PT at short.

At least Roenicke picked the second best option instead of the third. Baby steps.

[TURBO]

I just don't understand how he thinks, but then again, that is probably a good thing...

[AZBrewCrew]

Lets see if my newly arrived Maldonado shirsey brings some luck tonight

[packfan79]

I don't know why I'm so frustrated when this was basically what I expected...

[milwaukeesportsfan]

Ryan Braun is really, really good at baseball.

[AZBrewCrew]

Rickie is slowly making his way back to the Mendoza line. Keep it up Rick!

[pebadger]

Playoffs, here come the Brewers!

 

Barring that, I want Ryan Braun to have a second half that forces writers to vote him a second consecutive MVP award. A 50/30 season would likely do the trick. He's halfway there.

[GormanHarvey]

Rickie is slowly making his way back to the Mendoza line. Keep it up Rick!

 

He's over it and his climb has actually been pretty rapid here lately. Stay hot Rick!

[milwaukeesportsfan]

He's actually now over the Mendoza line. Hope he stays there.

[sauveb]

You gotta love it when the opposing starting pitcher throws 34 pitches in the first inning. With Rickie now over .200 it feels like we might get back in the race.

[rluzinski]

He's actually now over the Mendoza line. Hope he stays there.

He has better odds of finishing with a BA over .210 than under .200.

[milwaukeesportsfan]

I just hope he stays over it without slipping back under for a spell. It would be pretty demoralizing to get over .200 and then go 0 for your next 20 and fall back under.

[AZBrewCrew]

Nice job Maldy! Way to work the count.

[milwaukeesportsfan]

Methinks McDonald is getting McSqueezed.

[sauveb]

Looks like somebody has lost their focus.

[sauveb]

The moral to this story is don't walk the pitcher.

[Yeti73]

Barajas' OPS vs the Crew is nearly 1.000.

McDonald has a .500 OBP vs the Crew in 2012 with 2 runs.

[sauveb]

Not only is Cody Ransom a terrible hitter, he also runs like he is in quicksand.

[Yeti73]

Not only is Cody Ransom a terrible hitter, he also runs like he is in quicksand.

Still a terrible call though.

[sauveb]

That was 3 outs on 3 pitches to a pitcher that had thrown 65 after 2+. Way to let a guy back in the game.

[GormanHarvey]

Not only is Cody Ransom a terrible hitter, he also runs like he is in quicksand.

 

He usually gets down the line in pretty good shape...not sure if he didn't get out of the box well or what. He looked safe though

[Yeti73]

These guys are having one of those seasons like we did last year. Flares, high babip, health, career years from middling pitchers...
