2014-05-13 Pirates (Cole) at Brewers (Estrada), 7:10 PM CDT [Braun returns, Gomez still active; Brewers win, 5-2]

nice hit davis

[vegasbrewcrew1993]

how about another!

[yfinn6]

C'mon Reynolds.. just a deep'ish flyball to the outfield.

[vegasbrewcrew1993]

alright 4-1

[yfinn6]

I think it'll be out still. Not enough to overturn.

[DuWayne Steurer]

C'mon Reynolds.. just a deep'ish flyball to the outfield.

 

 

Ask and ye shall receive.

 

Nice to see something as simple as contact with a man on third lately. Cashing in these runners is nice. Get a bit of breathing room for the bullpen. Nice to make our 8th and 9th inning guys not have to be perfect.

they've handled the pressure very well. this team has won a lot of tight games.

What is it with professional sports teams in Wisconsin (not including the Bucks, who are hardly professional)? The Brewers and Packers get injured more than any two teams I've ever seen.

 

Ingrown fingernail, x player is out two weeks.

[vegasbrewcrew1993]

this is fun!

[yfinn6]

That would have ended the inning, too. Walker was almost up the middle there and probably would have thrown Segura out. Crazy. We'll take it!

Intentionally walking Logan Schafer just says how bad Bianchi is

[jjkoestler]

It seems like the Brewers get all the breaks against the Pirates. I wonder if Pirates fans hate the Brewers the way we hate the Cards.

This game will be work a bookmark for anyone who wants to show the possibilities of just putting the ball in play.

[OldSchoolSnapper]

If they are really 5/1, I wouldn't touch that.

why?

 

Because it's simply a horrible value.

 

Still a long shot, but I've made worse, more boring bets. It's making this season more fun still having this to dream about. At 75-1 I thought they were amazing value. I had this team winning anything from 70 to 95 games and neither would surprise me. A sleeper that had a ton of high-ceiling pieces, and if things went PERFECT for them I thought it could be a lucky year.

Not sure why you stop at the Bucks... One of the best examples of a bad luck banged up team. Sanders gets in a fight at Apt 720, then gets socked in the eye after returning from injury... Delfino didn't play a single game, Wolters breaks his hand, Ilyasova was out pretty much the whole year, etc.

I imagine they do.

[wildcat83]

Win in the series opener, and good looking pitching match ups the next two games.

[yfinn6]

Hopefully our walking wounded can return for duty tomorrow or Thursday.

Any update on Braun? I'm really hoping it's just that they're phasing him back in (though to stick to this plan AFTER Gomez already left the game seems foolish to me).

[Fear The Chorizo]

sounds like Braun's departure was indeed nothing more than phasing him back in...good sign there wasn't a recurrence of the injury, but not great that they're going to need to ease him back into playing everday

 

they gotta do whatever it takes to keep him in the lineup...with Aram being gone and Gomez facing a few game suspension they need Braun to be available

[brwrsfan]

Well if Gomez is in fact dinged up, this is a good time for the suspension. Give him those days for his back to heal.
