I am excited for back to back days of day baseball! Today is Canada Day. And as a welcome back gift for Jose Bautista (Hamstring injury - was out for 10 days) we send Marco Estrada to the mound for him. How exciting ... Go Brewers!!!

 

Another funny note is courtesy of the Brewers Twitter feed: Last time #Brewers visited Toronto (6/19/05), the starting first baseman was Lyle Overbay. Some things never change.

Boy, on paper this is not a good matchup for Estrada. Brewers need to put up at least 8 runs. I put the over/under for HR allowed at 3 1/2 and considering he didn't allow any in his last start, I'm taking the over here. Lets hope the Brewers can match the long ball barrage with a few of their own.

[wildcat83]

Lawrie on the DL with a broken finger. Kind of wanted to see him play, not too many chances to see the Toronto on TV. Was never a big fan even when he was with the Brewers system, but always curious to see former Crew prospects.

[yfinn6]

Is anyone else's picture really, really bad? The red makes the players look like they're glowing.

[phnxcrew]

let the home run derby begin!! Hopefully this is estrada's last game

[phnxcrew]

wasn't melky thin a couple years ago? good lord that's obvious he's still doing whatever he wants

[jjgott]

Well that didn't take long

[adamb100]

What a surprise, a home run given up by Estrada.

[yfinn6]

Bautista got all of that one.

[phnxcrew]

1 of 4 .... keep goin' marco!

[Bombers]

We should have requested there be homerun limit like in a slow pitch softball game

[brewmann04]

well turned on the game and suprise suprise another HR given up .

i hope to heck that DM and RR do someting soon this is unreal

[adamb100]

Brewers look absolutely cluseless at the plate.

 

HUTCHISON IS PITCHING A NO HITTER.

[yfinn6]

Well, they got their swinging sticks today. Everything must look good up there.

[phnxcrew]

good lord with the swinging at the eye high fastball. Enough guys

[reillymcshane]

wow, we can't seem to lay off anything today.

 

i wonder if the sun is causing a problem.

[brewmann04]

I think this is really Dave steib

[phnxcrew]

is this guy a top prospect or are we just horrible today?

[reillymcshane]

Braunie just looks lost. I don't think I've ever seen him swinging so poorly.

[adamb100]

Good grief, the Brewers are making Hutchison look like a Cy Young winner.

[TURBO]

This A&E Jewelers commercial is KILLING me! I can't mute the volume quick enough when that commercial and the Wisconsin lottery commercial comes on. Same thing with the Marshfield Clinic.

 

UGGHHH!

 

I know I have been complaining about the commercials a lot, but it is like nails on a chalkboard...

[jvrocksaz]

8 k's through 4 Innings and only 49 pitches needed is hard to do... But the Brewers are doing it...

[adamb100]

Look, a hit!

[patrickgpe]

break it up on a infield single, of course!

[reillymcshane]

Bad, Marco. Bad.
