Time for Lohse to step up and have a good outing.

[3and2Fastball]

Scooter!

[H4P]

Schafy in for brauny? What's up?

[adambr2]

Why was Braun pulled?

[chickinbrickin]

No word yet. Hopefully he didn't jack up his thumb worse. If that is the case I am going to be even more pissed at RRR for running him out there day after day with a bad digit.

[sdcheezhd]

They are probably resting Braun for the rest of the day like they did last Sunday when it got to 7-0.

[chickinbrickin]

Pulled with thumb soreness I guess.

Twitter, which never gets it wrong, is reporting it is indeed his thumb. So why the hell is he in there for two inning? Give him today, and the whole Marlins series off.

lets go brewers

[valpocrewsader]

In the OP, why are Lohse's numbers listed as 1-0 2.01 ERA 1.07 WHIP? Should have been more like 1-6 4.39 ERA 1.31 WHIP, right?

[vegasbrewcrew1993]

what a fun weekend. the brewers have looked like a legit baseball team the last 2 days. i haven't felt this good about the crew in a while.

I could be wrong, but could it be his numbers against the Phillies this year?

Someone needs to make a gif of Maldonado giving phantom high fives in the dugout. That was pretty funny. On a side not, not a big fan of Francisco. He looks like he doesn't even wanna be out there. He looked like someone kicked his dog when he got hbp today.

Only reason I can think of for getting him is if they were looking to trade aram. With hart coming back and Morris mashing they don't need a 1b...

 

The move didn't make much sense to me

[sdcheezhd]

Two straight games where every spot in the lineup had a hit but Francisco's.

[RobDeer 45]

Nice win crew! That was a nice weekend of baseball. Lets keep stringing together some wins, get closer to .500.

Hart hasn't even started a rehab assignment yet. You'd rather have Alex Gonzalez running out there every day playing 1B?

[vegasbrewcrew1993]

nice win. well what do you know its a 3 game win streak. 6 more to go and we match our season high. this month's schedule is pretty soft. this is a good opportunity to fix the record.

[The stache]

Braun's thumb is obviously bothering him badly. He's had one extra base hit in the last ten game, but ya, keep sticking him in there to "work through it". Genius, Ron.

 

Per ESPN:

 

"Spin: The thumb issue is one Braun's been dealing with on and off for a few weeks now, but he's been out of the lineup just once since May 13. Still, the ailment is reportedly forcing Braun, who hasn't homered in his last 65 plate appearances, to adjust his swing. Manager Ron Roenicke said prior to Sunday's game that he hopes the 29-year-old will avoid the DL, so consider Braun day-to-day for the time being."

 

Per Yahoo Sports: "Ryan Braun left Sunday's game in the third inning with right thumb soreness.

Advice: It comes after Brewers manager Ron Roenicke admitted before the game that he was concerned about Braun's nagging thumb issue. The skipper had indicated that Braun will continue to play through the ailment but receive some extra days off. However, you'e got to wonder if the disabled list is becoming increasingly likely."

 

He's having to adjust his swing because of the thumb.

 

Earth to Ron. Sit him.

Nope, just an oversight of trying to get the thread up before I ran out of the door this morning.

Fun one to be at; here's my favorite photo from the game.

That's a really cool shot, bjkrautk!

[The stache]

I'm watching the replay now. Nice piece of hitting by Scooter to get that triple to right center. He can definitely motor. He's got pretty nice speed.

 

I'm trying to figure out who he reminds me of at the plate. Maybe Geoff Jenkins? Similar stances.

I haven't seen anybody make this comparison, but he reminds me of Skip Schumaker.
