Really Ron? Braun and Lucroy both need to have off on the same day? I'm fine with days off, but both of them together?

[trwi7]

You just know the guy named Tuffy is going to hit for the cycle against us or something stupid like that.

[TURBO]

That is a gritty, battling line-up we have out there today. Will probably put up 10 runs.

[RobDeer 45]

Lets put together a good game and get out of here with 3 wins!

 

trwi7 - Ha! You know that is going to happen. Crap!

and this^

 

He probably figures we already won or tied the series, so we are good to go.

 

[Bombers]

Really Ron? Braun and Lucroy both need to have off on the same day? I'm fine with days off, but both of them together?

Braun's last 14 days netted a triple slash of .154 / .241 / .269 ... So he is desperately needing some time off. Lucroy has played in every game since May 5th and also needs a day. I think it just is what it is in terms of how they both have off.

 

Either way, go Brewers! Lets finish of the Diamondbacks for a 3-1 series win!

[brwrsfan]

I understand that guys need time off, but do they have to be on the same day? Couldn't Braun have gotten off last night and then Lucroy today? Taking both bats out of the lineup at the same time (even with a slumping Braun) is pretty silly. Especially when the only other OF is Herrera.

[Bombers]

I agree that Herrera starting is really a no win situation but with Braun slumping, I just don't see why keeping him in the lineup will help. Let him take the day off - no need for him to get plunked again by the gritty d-backs - and get back on it in Colorado (a hitters dream.) I hope none of our top hitters have off in Colorado.

[torts]

playing against a rookie SP? gunna be shutout

[brwrsfan]

Why not send Davis there on 3-1? Sure seemed like an ideal spot to do it?

[brwrsfan]

Maybe it's just me, but the Brewers are getting a LOT of pitches to hit and just seem to be popping them up or just missing them. Getting a lot of fastballs up in the zone. Not sure if it's late movement or if they're just not hitting them. Need to figure something out though. Hitless through four innings, ugh.

[AZBrewCrew]

Todays game probably has had the highest attendance of the entire series. Then again there are tons of kids here too

[AZBrewCrew]

Ooooooverbay.

[brwrsfan]

Skunk out of the box!!! Ha, and nice baserunning by Overbay. For those not watching, grounder up the middle with the shift on and nobody covered second base, so Lyle just simply took it. Get scored as a double too on a grounder to CF!

[pacopete4]

Overbay with another hit with a man in scoring position. Overall numbers aren't great but he has came through for us in a lot of spots this year.

[AZBrewCrew]

Herrera with an RBI...lets see a Gallardo HR here

[brwrsfan]

And a pop-up falls into the Bermuda triangle for a run!! Overbay and Herrera with RBI hits. Go figure.

[DoubleSwitch]

and overbay and herrera both knock in runs

 

grit wins again

[brwrsfan]

How hard is it to turn a double play? That's 3 that we've essentially botched in the last two games. This one might have been close, but I think they still could have turned it.

[wisniewski]

Just watching Yo pitch can be a very a painfully laborious task. I couldn't imagine catching him.

[pacopete4]

Just watching Yo pitch can be a very a painfully laborious task. I couldn't imagine catching him.

 

Never seems to be having fun. Almost too casual. But I guess it works for him.

[pacopete4]

Wish we had Chase Anderson on our team. This kid might be a good one. Locates there pitches that are pretty good. Kyle Lohse like young guy.

[dlk9s]

Never thought I'd see Overbay get picked off. Huh.

[DuWayne Steurer]

Never thought I'd see Overbay get picked off. Huh.

 

 

I'm sure the stats say otherwise, but according to the eye test, this whole team sucks at base running.
