I just dont understand why Braun is sitting today with two off days this week. Very irritating.

 

Probably just to piss off fans

 

Maybe, just maybe, he needs two days off in a row?

Totally agree. Just had a day off and another tomorrow. If we weren't contending, then whatever just keep healthy. But in this situation you have to push the envelope a bit. Or if he'd had a few bad games in a row or something, give a day to clear his head. He's been on fire and now will have only played one game in 4 days. Hope he stays hot on Friday. Maybe they'll make up for it by having him play Sunday even without a day off next Monday.

I'm at the game today. It has the feel of a Brewers loss already. No reason that in a pennant race that our best hitter should be on the bench with two off days this week.
"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.

Won't be in a pennant race for long when your "ace" doesn't pitch likevome. Just awful.

Jimmy doesn't have it today. The offense has to wake up and start hitting to make a game of it. But Cole is a tough pitcher. Only one hit so far. I hope Braun is available to pinch hit if needed.
