[Outlander]

I remember this joker had a start a couple of years ago against the Brewers at Miller Park and got crushed, mainly by Rickie Weeks. Probably the most confident I have been of the Brewers winning all year.

Well now we are probably jinxed so I'll pile on. Despite Guerra's pedestrian K rate in his first 2 starts, his 11.5% swinging strike rate is easily the best in our rotation and would be top 20 in baseball if he qualified. The Padres have the third highest K rate, and the third lowest WOBa and WRC+. I like this matchup.

I hate losing the first game of a series. I thought we would be better than SD and should win this series, but now I'm not so sure. We missed a great chance last night. Seems like we struggle vs a "no name" pitcher.

[1992casey]

I'm not likely to be able to post a Padres lineup before gametime. If someone's able to post it to a reply, that'd be great.

[DocLuna7]

I am traveling in GB for work and am shocked to see that Direct TV doesn't have a FS Wisconsin option here. Am I missing something?

[Invader3K]

Junior Guerra gets a hit. First MLB hit in his career!

[MrTPlush]

I remember the last time Braun was intentionally walked to give Lucroy an at-bat with the bases loaded.

[MrTPlush]

This offense is just hideous lately.

[adambr2]

Blowing way too many scoring opportunities tonight.

[pacopete4]

This offense is just hideous lately.

 

 

They are a tease as of late.

[scuttlebutts]

Great pitching so far, could Guerra be good?

[MrTPlush]

Great pitching so far, could Guerra be good?

 

In all honesty very unlikely.

[Baldkin]

At the game tonight. Feels like the Brewers should be up 5, not 1.

[scuttlebutts]

Have not been able to watch the game til now, how is Guerre's control?

[pacopete4]

It's fun to see this Guerra guy have success. Very happy for this man to get an opportunity and make the most out of it.

[Invader3K]

Dave May mention. That doesn't happen to often.

[MrTPlush]

Middle of the order gets 3 pitches and makes 3 outs.

 

That is just bad baseball.

[scuttlebutts]

Heart of the order did not get it done. One run in the last 14 innings.

And we're at home.

[pacopete4]

Guys, it happens. It's the ebb and flow of a baseball season. They'll eventually snap out of it and put up 10.

As they did on Tuesday. At least Guerra is having a strong outing.

[scuttlebutts]

Guerra's control is great!

[scuttlebutts]

Friedrich has a mean curve.

[topper09er]

Dave May mention. That doesn't happen to often.

 

Looks like Dave May's claim to fame is leading the AL in total bases in 1973 and being traded to the Braves for Hank Aaron so he could end his career in Milwaukee

[scuttlebutts]

Walsh looking for a walk. What a horrible batter. Should have had a pitcher pinch hit.
