I really don't get what's so hard about if you're not going to play your top prospect the majority of the time (especially when he would play over a player as uninspiring as Hernan Perez), then don't have him on the roster. If the main job is going to be sitting on the bench, bring up some AAAA guy or someone whose ceiling tops out as utility player or 4th outfielder.

[adambr2]

Thames just tries to pull everything.

[adambr2]

Wow Shaw! How far did that go?

[adambr2]

Stay hot, Broxton .

[Cool Hand Lucroy]

I like Thames, and I'm glad he's a Brewer. That said, he really looks lost at the plate a lot for a guy with an OPS of what? 1000? Aguilar on the other hand seems to hit it hard every time he comes up. I'd like to see him get another start each week anyway. Even a straight platoon seems worth discussing.

[Cool Hand Lucroy]

Love the home runs, but it's so great to see Keon go the other way for a base hit. I shudder to think about the damage that guy can do with more consistent contact.

[rcc]

Great hitting today. Travis and Keon with homers and now Keon with another hit. 6-0 Brewers.

 

Shaw's homer apparently was the first time a ball hit that upper deck in this new ballpark.

[adambr2]

Broxton crazily is not that far off a 30/30 pace. I don't think he'll get it but considering how bad his slumps have been this year, that's pretty impressive.

 

Got Davies staked to a nice big lead today, let's keep the runs coming.

[rcc]

Even Davies got a double off this pitcher. Looks like he's done for today.

[FVBrewerFan]

What happened to the "Brewers never score with 2 outs" crowd?!?!

[stoutdude04]

Love when the hitter knows it's a strike and begins to walk back to the dugout only to be bailed out by the umpire.

 

Umpire refusing to call strikes for Davies here in the 5th. Lol

That 0-2 pitch to Swanson was nowhere close to being a ball. I know it gets said a lot but it's been remarkable to me how bad umpires have been this year. It's like they are daring the world to try to let machines call balls and strikes .

[newrivervalley]

Hope Vogt can do for Brewers what Ross did for Cubs last year. Pitching starting to come around and Braun and Vilar coming back.

[liveforoctober]

Davies ERA under 5. Atta boy! Keep it going... down, down, down.

[liveforoctober]

and suddenly, Keon Broxton's batting average is higher than Thames'.

[MrTPlush]

7 innings...zero strikeouts.

Well, sounds like this won't be an issue after Tuesday.

[pacopete4]

7 innings...zero strikeouts.

 

 

Yes his swing and miss ability is just not good. The good thing today was the one walk.

[rcc]

A Davies-Espino shutout. Who knew! Nice to see some good hitting too.

 

Good game all around.

[adambr2]

Nice comeback game for Davies. Player of the game Davies, honorable mention to Keon, a triple short of the cycle.

[brewmann04]

Glad they pulled out the final game

[dlk9s]

I was a little nervous today, as the Brewers never seem to win when I go to the game, but I guess I was the good luck charm today.

 

First time at the new Braves stadium, which is fairly close to where I live (it's on the same street as my first apartment - that would've been cool to just be able to walk to games). I didn't explore the facilities, but it seemed very nice. Cozy, too. Had seats in the lower of the two upper decks, around the home plate area. Fantastic view.

 

My wife and I decided to be clever and park at her office and walk to the game to save money and to have an easier time getting in an out. She works very close to the stadium, but it still turned out to be a 30 minute walk. We'll pay for closer parking next time.

[Ennder]

I was at the game and all the people behind me could say was how embarrassing it was to lose to a team like the Brewers. I guess they haven't looked at the standings this year~. Good win, glad that was the game I got to go to this weekend.

[brewmann04]

Yea maybe they thought they were in the Greg Maddox era
