I see that Jim Caple on espn is doing a uniform bracket like he did for the stadiums last year. I'll never forget how mad he got at brewer fans over that one, haha

Well, putting the Brewers' uniform up against the Dodgers' in round one might well take care of that.

im so glad we're playing the pirates.

[dlk9s]

I voted for the Brewers, but it looks like it's going to be a Dodgers landslide. Funny thing is, those two uniforms (standard home versions) are about as similar as you can get.

[vegasbrewcrew1993]

is braun hurt?

[vegasbrewcrew1993]

hey burnett it would be nice if you throw a pitch already. throwing over to 1st every five seconds gets annoying.

[dlk9s]

is braun hurt?

I was half-listening to MLB Network, but it sounded like they said he was due for a regular day to rest, plus he's been battling neck/back issues (don't know if they meant his neck and back were bothering him currently or just that they have been this season).

 

EDIT: TH said that Braun's neck is bothering him. It almost kept him out of the last series.

[vegasbrewcrew1993]

im glad we got the lead but its disappointing to not bring in 2 more.

[vegasbrewcrew1993]

holy smokes what a play by segura

[gypcasino]

Wow, that play by Segura made me not regret watching so far. Very nice.

fortunately the brewers are playing the pirates. they might be able to take 3 out of 4 without braun. if he goes down the team is in deep sh!t.

This quote has been applicable in seemingly every game so far. He's one of the main reasons I still tune in each game.

Don't assume they are just going to roll over the pirates. They have their # but the Brewer are playing bad baseball right now.

ummmm, yeah, ok...

 

[adamb100]

Brewers got a break there.

[MVP2110]

wow their catcher is bad. should have thrown out two at least

[jjkoestler]

Jean Segura is good at playing baseball.

 

I really wish the Brewers had some pitching. This team is going to put up some crazy offensive numbers once Hart gets back.

[gypcasino]

Schroeder acting like Culbreth is giving us the game at first. McCutchen looked out to me in the 1st, although it was very close. I rewound the play in the 4th a few times and yeah Lalli was way off the bag but it looked like he grazed McCutchen's helmet. And the Aoki hit in the 5th was a fair ball. That's hardly "every break in the book" Bill. Just irritating.

[The stache]

Jean Jean the human highlight machine. He might be the most exciting player in baseball right now.

 

Aaron and Matthews

Yount and Molitor

Braun and Segura?

 

Has a nice ring to it

[The stache]

Wow, Estrada has certainly bounced back tonight, too!

[jjkoestler]

What was the white stuff blowing around in the beginning of the game? It looked like some type of plant.

[markedman5]

Marco got away with that last pitch to Mccutchen but yeah this is just what the doctor ordered from Marco tonight.....Brewers really needed a starting pitcher to control a game and he has done that nicely so far.

[adamb100]

I have never seen a team play so careless on defense like the Pirates are tonight.
