A day of Brewers and Badgers... Whoop, whoop!

[SoCalBrewfan]

Just when I was starting to sweat draft order, Garza comes though.

[phnxcrew]

After considering pulling him last turn around I think they finally do it now.... who takes his place? pena? thornburg?

[Yaz]

Just when I was sweating the Brewers might be out of the game at 5-1 - Adam Lind hit a ringing double to tie the game! GO BREWERS!

 

Oh and Jean Segura with a solid single. Brewers now lead 6-5. Come on lets get 3 games clear of the Reds.

 

Losing is for losers. :-)

[1992casey]

You can pin a lot of that on the Red's defense. The Brewer hitters did well, but the defense contributed to extra bases and extra runs.

Seriously. How many times did Bourgeois spin around on Lind's double? Was he playing baseball or doing a solo waltz?

 

Disclaimer: I have no idea if doing the waltz requires spinning.

[1992casey]

I feel bad for Lamb. It wasn't like he melted down. Aside from Lind's double, the Brewers hits were soft liners or ground balls. And nobody walked.

[TURBO]

Losing is for losers. :-)

 

and losers is what we are...

 

 

I hate losing too, but I have accepted every loss as one step closer to a high draft choice, but now, all of a sudden, they start winning, ruining my new "acceptance" attitude...

 

It is such hard work being a Brewers fan.

[1992casey]

It was raining earlier, but not enough to delay the game. Now, there's no rain, but there's a warning on the scoreboard encouraging fans to go to the concourses due to storms in the area. Yet they're continuing to play. You're not going to get fans into the concourse if there's a game on the field.

[1992casey]

After a bunch of diddling around trying to decide what to do about lightning, a huge blast of thunder caused everyone to run off the field. Now the groundskeepers are rushing to lay the tarp under potentially dangerous conditions.

[1992casey]

It looks like they're going to reboot the game at about 7:50 PM CT. Ariel Peña is out in the bullpen and may take over for Peralta.

[TURBO]

That game #2 line-up is just horrible.

[wrbest]

Way to go Peterson. Nice bomb to right field.

[1992casey]

I hope that Jiménez is replaced next inning. It's not because of anything that might happen on the mound; it's because of the way Craig Cushon is pronouncing his name.

[trwi7]

Hooray for 30 year old scrubs like Elian Herrera leading us to meaningless victories!

[1992casey]

Herrera does "memorable" stuff that fools you into thinking he's better than he is.

[pacopete4]

Hooray for 30 year old scrubs like Elian Herrera leading us to meaningless victories!

 

Scrub? He's produced more than Segura or Gennett. At least he brings some pop to the plate here and there and can play multiple positions. He deserves to play more and should be on this team again next season.

Sorry you're so offended that I called a 30 year old with a little over 400 big league at bats who's hitting .236/.288/.385 a scrub. I don't know what you call it, but it's a scrub by my definition.

Toss in both games today at he's OPS'ing over .700 now

 

Might not be a starter but he can be a great piece to have on your bench and is far from a scrub.

Oh, so after two of the best games of his career his stats will still indicate he's a well below average offensive player?

 

He can be a decent bench piece, mainly because of positional flexibility on a contender. We aren't that and he's not someone we should be giving this much playing time to.

Who should we be giving it to? We already give plenty to guys like Segura who don't OPS what Herrera does.

How about Perez? He's only 24. Just give Gennett at bats against lefties. He probably won't hit them but what are you really missing out on if he's given a shot?

[EauClaireNWL]

As much as I'm mixed about winning meaningless games come September like the team has on this bit of a hot streak, if it's mainly the young guys doing it with the occasional help from the bench guys, then so be it. We traded away a good chunk of our veteran line-up before the trade deadline to help the farm system and the team is still playing well enough to win some games. I want a top 10 draft pick as much as the next guy, but I'm not going to downplay a strong effort by the team either. After the team got off to that god awful start in April, I pegged them at around 70-72 wins and I still think they're on pace for that. The team has been streaky like this before and I'm sure they'll drop plenty of games come later in the month.

Yes it does, but not like that.
