2018-04-24: Brewers (Davies) at Royals (Kennedy) 7:15 PM CDT [Brewers win, 5-2; Thames injures thumb]

[Greenleaf1]

Good job by Villar clearing the pitcher's spot, erm, I mean Sogard.

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

Nice game from Villar tonight. It would be nice if he could turn the power on, but he's getting on base. Good start toward his redemption year.

[AKCheesehead]

Was it Molitor?

 

Yes sir, July 26 1987

 

I remember listening to that.

[pacopete4]

Villar having a nice night. Probably trying to do anything not be benched in favor of Sogard anymore.

[SeaBass]

C'mon Davies don't fall apart here. And a double play, nice.

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

Wow, I can't believe Captain Quick Hook is letting Davies stay in there. Thought for sure this would be Jennings now.

[brewerswinNLcentral]

villar shd start 5 or 6 times a week...i liked sogard last year but it mite be time to cut him soon. any reason NOT to bring dubon up, except to wait unti

l june

I’m Ok if Davies gets out of this innning and is done. Can’t find the strike zone.

[Greenleaf1]

Dubon just got his first walk of the season and has a handful of errors already on the season. He's hitting better but could probably use some more seasoning time at AAA. My guess is unless an injury happens we won't see him until June/July.

We don’t need another utility infielder. Bring up someone useful.

[Greenleaf1]

Fresh bullpen tonight, my guess is we'll see Hader in the 8th if they're still up with hopes for the 2 inning save, but who gets the 7th? Albers?

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

I love Cain's slow-pitch softball HR swing LOL

[SeaBass]

Wow they're cheering Cain even after he goes yard. I've welcomed some ex-Brewers back but didn't really want them beating us either.

[DuWayne Steurer]

Cain seems slightly fired up.

[DocLuna7]

Cain seems slightly fired up.

 

Was wondering who he was talking to rounding the bases after that one.

[topper09er]

Did he take a drink before passing second base?

[Cool Hand Lucroy]

If Hader pitches, it would be third game in four days, one of them being a 2-inning outing. I am guessing we see some combo of Albers, Jennings, and Barnes, with JJ in should a jam arise

 

If there is a two-inning save op, I think it will be Barnes...

[Greenleaf1]

If Hader's available tonight I'd be surprised if we didn't see him for at least an inning in a save situation, but hopefully we can tack on a few against the awful Royals bullpen and make it a moot point.

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

Don't look now, but Braun the batting average hitter is heating up.

[jerichoholicninja]

Cain seems slightly fired up.

That whole sequence seemed weird. Makes you wonder if Cain will be getting one in the ribs next time he's up.

[topper09er]

I am standing up applauding Shaw giving himself up against the tough loogy

[Greenleaf1]

Wish I would've said it beforehand, but I was thinking Shaw bunting there against the tough lefty makes a lot of sense.

[TURBO]

Really quality at bat there Domingo.

 

Sheesh.

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

Wish I would've said it beforehand, but I was thinking Shaw bunting there against the tough lefty makes a lot of sense.

 

Only to be followed up by Santana chasing for a K.

[DuWayne Steurer]

I mean, I like the idea and execution, but not sure bunting in front of a guy who strikes out as much as Santana does is exactly a great idea.

 

And....... right on queue....
