YOU GET A HOME RUN! AND YOU GET A HOME RUN. EVERYONE GETS A HOME RUN!

[Brewnittle]

sweep the world champs sounds like a good way to get this team going

[azcheesehead]

Here comes the scout again:

 

That was pitch number 45 for Matt Cain; his effectiveness may start slipping, as he holds opposing hitters to a .222 average in the first 45 pitches but they hit .333 off him after that.

 

Bummer.

[Funketown]

Let's not say sweep until the bullpen gets out there. We all know how these things can go...

[Brewnittle]

Sick bat flip by Lucroy.

 

Yeah that bat flip was epic

[Brewnittle]

Let's not say sweep until the bullpen gets out there. We all know how these things can go...

 

Very true my friend

[fondybrewfan]

Darn I thought that was going to be walk #1. Ever elusive.

[rluzinski]

The "Scout" on MLB Gameday provided this little bit of info:

 

That was pitch number 45 for Yovani Gallardo; his effectiveness may start slipping, as he holds opposing hitters to a .355 average in the first 45 pitches but they hit .500 off him after that.

 

Wow. They really need to turn that thing off until July or so.

 

They need to use career stats. Even in July, this type of information is descriptive, not predictive. Single season splits tell you what happened, not what to expect going forward.

 

It's frustrating that while baseball is anti-stats in some ways, the stuff they do show is often worthless.

[azcheesehead]

Guess Yo doesn't like to put it on cruise control.....

[RobDeer 45]

Good start here so far. Lots of ball left but we could really use a clean game.

[rluzinski]

Nothing is a sure deal but the Brewers have about a 95% chance of winning, so I am going to enjoy that fact.

[vegasbrewcrew1993]

Real nice game by the Brewers so far. Nice to see Braun smack one out of here. Even Weeks got a hit. Hopefully Gallardo can give us 7 solid innings. The less work the bullpen has to do the better.

[The stache]

I cannot believe how excited I am about Jean Segura.

[vegasbrewcrew1993]

nice play by segura. his has quick reactions

[fondybrewfan]

Someone is going to have to explain to me an unassisted double play by Segura on a guy at 1st base.

[rluzinski]

I wish Betancourt and Segura could play SS at the same time. Betancourt would position himself about 10 feet behind Segura, anyway. It would be a blast to see the difference in their reaction time and range.

[The stache]

Pagan was running to second, lined shot up the middle Segura caught on the fly. Pagan ran by Segura as Jean started running towards first.

[TURBO]

yikes, that had injury written all over it.

 

whew!

[RobDeer 45]

Man Weeks is missing a lot of pitches these days.

[Baldkin]

I wish Betancourt and Segura could play SS at the same time. Betancourt would position himself about 10 feet behind Segura, anyway. It would be a blast to see the difference in their reaction time and range.

 

I wish I had access to the Sportsvision camera data to compare the two.

[igor67]

With the exception of Weeks the team is hitting for quite the batting average so far this year. Seems like a pretty big change from previous years

[adambr2]

"The Brewers are finally getting the Yuni B of old that they were used to."

 

What?

[vegasbrewcrew1993]

how about a double segura?

[vegasbrewcrew1993]

these are the kind of low pressure situations that Axford needs to get his mojo back.

[dlk9s]

how about a double segura?

I wouldn't mind a Double Segura.

 

I mean to have on the Brewers, you sickos.
