2013-04-29 Pirates (Rodriguez) at Brewers (Gallardo), 7:10 PM CDT [Brewers win, 10-4; 5 HR and 3 3B]

[Bombers]

Man, if I were a Pirates fan I can't imagine how much I'd hate the Brewers.

 

Come off of a sweep of the Braves, come to Milwaukee and get pounded as usual.

I have thought about this before - Pirate fans must hate the Brewers

 

But boy, this is fun

Its good to be back in MP!

Plus a Segy bomb

[3and2Fastball]

Although small sample this year Gomez has the lowest BB% of his career

 

yep, small sample but its fun to think that he's on pace for a 27 HR, .341 BA, .960 OPS season

[3and2Fastball]

i think i no longer dislike the yunibomber. dare i say that im starting to look forward to his at bats?

 

As long as he doesn't play SS he (obviously) has value as a backup who can fill in at various positions when starters are hurt or need a day off

[topper09er]

They should just let Davey do the game alone tomorrow

[PrinceFielderx1]

Man do the Brewers own the Pirates. Is it wrong for me to expect this to continue? I mean I know the Pirates are improved but there's just something about playing the Pirates that just brings out the best in this team.

[The stache]

Five home runs so far tonight, wow. The offense is looking great!

[markedman5]

It just can't continue ...not like it has the last 40 games or whatever it is....Pirates are defintely improved.....I'll enjoy it as long as it does last though...

[adamb100]

Almost 6 there...

[markedman5]

God I love Segura

[topper09er]

Segura should have done 1 extra pushup, missed the dinger by less than a foot

[AZBrewCrew]

Id love to see Jean go for the cycle tonight

[TooLiveBrew]

Although small sample this year Gomez has the lowest BB% of his career

Also with the SSS caveat, coming into tonight's game (per FanGraphs), Gómez has seen 4.01 pitches/PA. Compare that to 3.39 last season, & 3.49 on his career. For further comparison... '12 Braun: 3.75, '12 Aoki: 3.89, '13 Segura: 3.75.

 

He has looked much more disciplined and savvy at the plate so far. Hopefully this is a permanent addition to his game, and not something he'll slip away from as the season drags on.

[The stache]

Segura is awesome, lol. Needs a double for the cycle now, no?

 

He's got some definite power, and that's to the opposite field.

[TooLiveBrew]

Don't forget the Jean Safe bomb

Hah -- today I learned...

[owbc]

Segura is incredible, hopefully we can get him in the all-star game this year.

[AZBrewCrew]

I was wondering that. I'm sure Segura will get a lot of votes from the Milwaukee crowd but I think he's still relatively unheard of outside of Milwaukee

Stealing first really helped his fame

[jjkoestler]

This offense is going to be incredible when A-Ram and Hart get back and Weeks remembers how to hit.

[PrinceFielderx1]

Rickie Weeks need a "week" off.

I know, I really can't wait. It's going to be awesome.

[ELCABALLO45]

So if the All Star game was tonight, the 2 brewers offensively that would probably go would be Gomez and Segura. Hehe.

[TooLiveBrew]

Rickie Weeks need a "week" off.

As one of the biggest Rickie Weeks fans... I completely agree. Very disappointing that Roenicke hasn't taken the initiative to sit him down for at least a couple days. Whatever they've been trying to get Rickie back on track clearly isn't working. Time for plan b.
