For whatever it's worth, I recall Grimm being one of the names floated around as a possible inclusion in a potential Rangers offer on Greinke last season. It'll be interesting to get a firsthand look at him tonight, and hopefully Wily can bring his A game to the mound this time.

Hadn't checked the schedule, figured the Brewers were off on a road trip to Cincinnati or Pittsburgh or something (I guess that is next week). Should be a fun little 2-game series.

Roof open. Keep the ball down Willy. Ball should be flying.

if i still lived in milwaukee this would be a game i'd go to. we haven't seen too much of texas the last few years. i'm favor of cancelling that boring Brewers and Twins series. I'd rather play the west coast teams more often. Brewers/Yankees would be a more intriguing matchup

[topper09er]

You'd think Nelson Cruz would make that catch considering he lost a World Series on a similar play

[The stache]

Getting to watch the game on Fox Southwest +

Having to listen to Tom Grieve drone on -

 

Three straight hits to start the game. Let's keep it up!

[vegasbrewcrew1993]

early leads are always nice

I was just thinking the same thing.

I'm waiting for the Brewers to come down here to Texas later in the season. Bad back and all, I am still going to at least one game. The Brewers only make it down here every three years.

please do not speak of that awful season. i still have nightmares about that NLCS

[The stache]

Brauny up to .317 right now. He always gets the his average back up.

I'm happy to have a recent memory of the Brewers playing in a League Championship Series

I'm stuck in Vegas. I'd have to travel to Cali or Phoenix to catch the Brewers. It's so weird not being able to see the Brewers in person anymore. I had been going to games for years. Bad luck for Weeks there. He hit that one pretty well.

[The stache]

Ugh, Matt Harvey is throwing a no hitter for my fantasy team, right now, but the Mets haven't scored any runs.

[The stache]

GoGo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Woo hoo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Carlos Gomez has definitely arrived!!!!!

[topper09er]

Gomez is looking great this season but that was a jam shot luck double

It was a fun season but it ended on such a sour note. If it had been anyone else it wouldn't hurt as much. It had to be the damn Cardinals. I still remember Fielder's final at bat. The last standing ovation was a sad moment. Little by little the Brewers I grew up with are breaking up. JJ Hardy is gone, Fielder is gone, Counsell is gone, Hart and Weeks might not be here for long.

 

YUNIBOMBER!!!

[The stache]

Wow! Yunibomber. Holy crap, that's 8 home runs already! Wow!!!

[jjgott]

YUNI B. FREE!!!!

[topper09er]

At this rate Betancourt will become a more popular "Yuni" than the ball & glove logo

[dlk9s]

On the bright side for the Rangers, the Brewers weren't able to clear the pitcher that inning.

[The stache]

It's always fun when the offense explodes to start the game. Let's keep it up, more runs would be cool with me.

 

I love it when Braun and Segura are hitting. Great for my fantasy team

[pebadger]

In other action, JA Happ just took a horrible shot to the head off a batted ball. He indicated he was OK while being taken off, but nothing is a sure thing until they scan his head. Scary.

[The stache]

That's not what I'm wanting to see from Peralta.
