Brewers sweep

[liveforoctober]

Gio is pulling out his best statistical season at age 31. He threw against us (@WAS) a little over a month ago and threw 7 innings of 5 hit, 2 ER ball.

 

Here is to hoping we get the 2nd half version of Davies on the mound and the first half offense WITH Davies on the mound. Go Crew!

[yfinn6]

Well, Perez would have been out by a mile had the throw even been decent but it wasn't and hurray, a lead!

Braun really needs to start stepping it up. That was pretty much the luckiest sac fly ever.

Very smart decision to go there...even if the odds were less than 50/50 of making it.

[yfinn6]

Uh, Brian, Perez fielded that off the bat.

[topper09er]

Awesome to hear they are giving up on Garza, actually trying to win rather than go with veteran grit

[topper09er]

According to BA Aguilar is a slick fielding 1B so not sure what happened there

[topper09er]

0-2, runner on third and Werth just sticks the bat out there for an RBI. I hope we are taking notes

[adambr2]

2 runs this inning simply because of poor infield defense.

 

Vogt is so awful throwing out runners. Seems like every throw is short hopped. That ball is in Perez' glove when Turner is about halfway to 3rd if Pina is in there. We really miss him.

[adambr2]

Braun's season numbers are beginning to look fairly 'meh' for an oft injured corner outfielder whose main benefit is his bat.

[jason21nl]

Regardless if Santana is safe or out. That's bad base running

[adambr2]

Great job Aguilar!

[topper09er]

Regardless if Santana is safe or out. That's bad base running

 

I know, what is he thinking on a single right at the left fielder?

[BilliamdaIII]

This doesn't seem close. Pretty terrible call.

[Lathund]

He looked safe to me. I think the reason the review takes so long is that the replay crew feel that he's safe, but because he was called out they need more to overturn, so they kept looking.

 

But yeah, Santana should have stopped at second to begin with.

[topper09er]

With all this talk about Davies win total, I wonder if he will get some Cy Young votes, something we struggle with as a franchise.

 

Can you name the only 4 Brewers who have ever received a single NL Cy Young vote?

No on sheets. Has to be Higuera.

NL only, so Fingers and Vuke dont count. CC and Sheets are correct.

 

CC placed highest in Brewer NL Cy Young history, 5th place.

[DocLuna7]

Sabathia

Sheets

Axford

D'Amico

 

All guesses, didn't cheat to look it up.

[young guns]

Cappy in his 18 win season?

Oops. Misread the question.

 

Greinke?

Gallardo I think finished 7th in 2011 or something there abouts.

[adambr2]

Villar has had a great August. Better think long and hard before deciding to give up on him.
