I'm not trying to rain on the parade, truly, I'm not, but this is one of those games that frustrates me. Obviously, the 4-0 lead is great, nobody argues that. The frustrating part to me is seeing what Braun can do when he actually plays, but yet he is just so fragile at this point that you can't really pencil him in for more than 4 games a week. It's a calf, or a wrist, or a strain of something. For all of Braun's skills, the best ability is still availability, and he lacks that in a big way. I wish there was a way to remedy that, because when he plays and he is on, the team is simply that much better.

Yep. Its tough. You can try to have him play through everything, but we tried that earlier in the year and he was a totally liability in left and then re-aggravated the calf and missed a month.

 

If we were in the American League this would be so much less of a problem.

Like I said, this offense has and does run through Braun. Guy's amazing at hitting a baseball.
"This is a very simple game. You throw the ball, you catch the ball, you hit the ball. Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose, sometimes it rains." Think about that for a while.

It would be great if Travis Shaw rubbed off on Phillips.

I know the jokes have been made but it is worrisome that Braun just had to go 1st to home.
