Ok, good. Back to playing bad teams. Looks like we might have to go about .900 against them.

[Outlander]

Yeah the Reds are horrible but the Brewer better pick up at least a couple of wins here because the next few series after this will be tough.

[xisxisxis]

I just want to see the Brewers score a run, anything beyond that would be gravy...

[tmwiese55]

Yea the month of May is brutal after Cin. Need to get at least 2.

[statman0007]

Going to the game next Sunday. Looks like the first 20,000 fans get a "light sweatshirt" giveaway. Any recommendations on how early I'd have to get into the stadium to get one?

[TURBO]

That is probably our best line-up Too bad Jesus can't play 2B or C.

[Boomer5]

Well he can if you sell him high for someone that could help out at those positions.

Teams know what he is. Numbers are a bit inflated right now.

[KeithStone53151]

I can see it now, brewers up 5-2 in the 7th and on comes drake. We'd go from an 80% favorite to an 80% underdog before he threw his first pitch.

[PinaMadness]

Brewers can't take advantage of a two walk inning against the Reds.

You can see this team scoring 5 runs?

I'd rather have Aguilar in there over Santana

[The stache]

One hit through three innings against a guy with a 6.60 ERA.

 

Brewers hitting. It's fantastic.

[Cool Hand Lucroy]

Cain's approach is so much better than everyone else's. Even when he makes outs he looks like a pro.

 

Shaw has really struggled with men on the laat couple games. Need him to come through.

[adambr2]

1) It looks like Stearns was 100% right to make heavy off-season investments in hitters, not pitchers.

 

2) It still didn't make a difference.

[xisxisxis]

What was the exit velocity on that popup? 10mph? Finnegan came into the game having given up 11 runs in 12.33 IP. He's been a pitching pinata so far and of course tonight against the Brewers he looks like a TOR starter. Sterns better be looking for some solutions because there aren't many on this roster...

[PinaMadness]

Shaw has really struggled with men on the laat couple games. Need him to come through.

That's because he played somewhere else the past seven seasons.

[wallus]

WE SCORED A RUN! WOOOOOOOOOO

[xisxisxis]

I think these guys are coachable, but when CC keeps telling them he wants to see them play like he did they are delivering...

[Cool Hand Lucroy]

Two good ABs from Pina. First out was hit well, and that was no Cincy cheapy.

[PinaMadness]

The Milwaukee Brewers: Masters of the solo home run since 1998.

[xisxisxis]

Well its been nice knowing you guys... with a Villar walk, that must mean the end of the world is coming tonight...

[timpep]

If Arcia drives him in you're onto something.

[Cool Hand Lucroy]

Arcia: order restored.

 

Bummer too because Chacin just looks like he loves to hit. I mean, he is fun to watch swing at least.
