Glad to see Thames get a day off, but not a fan of having Villar lead off again quite yet.

Given those players I'm not sure who should leadoff. Braun, Santana, and Shaw should be in the middle and the rest at the bottom.

[Matt1969]

Brewers win tonight.

[pacopete4]

Could be the first time the Brewers are swept in a 3-game series so far this season.

[rcc]

The Crew definitely has the better pitcher tonight. Bailey hasn't been good this year and Jimmy has been very good.

 

Here's hoping they have a good hitting night too.

[stoutdude04]

Villar hit a missle. Right at Scooter. Kind of been his year.

[adambr2]

Nice 9th inning meltdown for the Nats pen.

[stalton]

3 innings, 3 bombs. Let's keep it up boys!

Why so negative. Outside of Villar most of them are having pretty good seasons.

[MrTPlush]

I know why his parents named him Homer now...

[stalton]

Man, first Colon DFAd. Is Homer shortly behind him?

[MrTPlush]

Homer Bailey dropped his ERA by nearly half so far.

[yfinn6]

Man, first Colon DFAd. Is Homer shortly behind him?

 

Uh, no.

[markedman5]

Bailey really has nothing anymore.....he's got the Soup(Brewer version) arsenal

[stalton]

Man, first Colon DFAd. Is Homer shortly behind him?

 

Uh, no.

 

A better way of stating that should have been. Colon is done (DFA) is Homer behind (not able to come back from his injuries)

[markedman5]

Ok Jonathan.......I see you!

[Matt1969]

I don't like to criticize announcers for the things they say or do, but I think BA needs to work on a decent home run call. His are kinda boring and unsure sounding.

[MrTPlush]

Man our lead off hitter today.

[nate82]

He is really bad at judging balls that are hit in the OF so he either sounds overly excited about a routine fly out or sounds unsure on home run calls.

[wildcat83]

Shackelford ERA is 108.00

[MrTPlush]

A couple more runs and the bullpen will have a comfortable lead.

[wildcat83]

The Crew definitely has the better pitcher tonight. Bailey hasn't been good this year and Jimmy has been very good.

 

Here's hoping they have a good hitting night too.

 

Bailey had only pitched in 1 game coming into tonight. Saying "this year" isn't very large sample.

[wildcat83]

Are the field dimensions in Cincy drastically small? Amount of home runs this series is crazy.

[LouisEly]

Major league debut for Brewers 2010 21st round draft pick Kevin Shackelford. The seventh player from that draft to make the majors.

 

Quiz - who were the other six? And can you name them without looking?
