Here today. Excited to see Hiura play.

 

Edit: if anyone hasn’t watched the Selig Experience it’s worth your time. It’s not super long but it’s a fun watch.

[BruisedCrew]

The Phillies offense is heating up. Hoping the Brewers can get a win today or tomorrow and say goodbye to them for the regular season with a win in the season series. I expect the Phillies to be a playoff team.

[BruisedCrew]

Looking like another short start as Chacin labors and can’t put anyone away.

 

Watching him right now is reminding me of watching Jeff Suppan where you just hope for the batter to hit it hard right at someone.

 

Brewers have to get the offense going against this potent Phillies offense and with a series looming against the Twins, who seem to be scoring in double digits every other day.

Shaping up to be a crappy sports weekend.

[yourout]

Phillies have the better roster.

[BruisedCrew]

Looks like another day for me to take a walk and see if the game gets competitive while I’m out.

[folly412]

Looks like we could be in for a non-game.

[BruisedCrew]

Phillies have the better roster.

 

The Brewers are 5-0 in games I’ve attended this year. That streak could be in jeopardy tomorrow.

[Brew crew 92]

We gotta watch another short start by a pitcher that shouldn’t even be in the rotation, while we have a pitcher trapped in AAA that could help us right now. Maddening.

[BruisedCrew]

The Phillies have now scored exactly one run in 8 of the 11 innings of this series.

[Brew crew 92]

Phillies have the better roster.

 

Maybe maybe not.

 

Although they should have a better roster spending 50 million more than us on it.

[82brewcrew82]

Phillies have the better roster.

 

Maybe maybe not.

 

Although they should have a better roster spending 50 million more than us on it.

They look about $50 million better than us.

[yourout]

That's just flat out bad baseball.

[adambr2]

This team can really piss away a scoring opportunity in a big hurry.

[folly412]

Horray, thanks to Grandal falling asleep off the bag now we only need to go 0-2 with RISP this inning instead of 0-3.

Yes they do.

You get what you pay for!

[BruisedCrew]

Not sure that pitcher trapped in AAA would help right now. Maybe after a few more appearances.

[BruisedCrew]

Make that 9 of 12 scoring innings for the Phillies.

[pacopete4]

You can’t just bail on pitchers all the time. They need time to work through things. The idea to move Chacin right now is what would be maddening.

[BruisedCrew]

And the Brewers are at bat for about 2 minutes before sending Chacin out again.

[Brew crew 92]

Not sure that pitcher trapped in AAA would help right now. Maybe after a few more appearances.

 

He’s there because the powers that be, don’t want to disturb the current rotation, not because he’s not ready. So we have to watch a Chacin throw 90 pitches BEFORE the 5th inning, putting more stress on a good but overworked bullpen.

Haven't you told us repeatedly that the 'powers that be' in this organization have already proven enough that they simply shouldn't be questioned?

[PinaMadness]

I wish we had a starting rotation where Chacin is the #4 where he belongs.

How do you know that? Nelson has shown that he’s healthy but not necessarily that he’s ready to get major league hitters out any better than the current starters.
