A huge series for the Brewers. If they can take two out of three, they'd deliver the knock out punch to the Reds. Cincinnati would then be 10 games under .500 one week out from the trade deadline. They've greatly under performed their Pythagorean so far, so the sooner they start playing for 2020 the better in my opinion.

Haven’t heard about any moves, but the Brewers could be short handed tonight. Braun will be out at Tyler Skraggs’ funeral, and you have to wonder if Thames will be available after how he looked at the plate yesterday. That would mean Gamel in left and Aguilar at first and only Pina and Arcia/Saladino off the bench. In other words, basically no pinch hitters.

 

I kind of expected Thames to be put on the IL with Shaw called up.

Note: If I raise something as a POSSIBILITY that does not mean that I EXPECT it to happen.

You would think the Commissioner's office could make an exception and let a team bring in another player when attending a major league player's funeral.

 

Right? Exceptions should be made.

"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.

Cain

Yelich - LF

Grandal

Moose

Hiura

Thames - RF

Aguilar

Arcia

P

 

Official. I don't love Thames defense in RF with a flyball pitcher on the mound. Thames has been hitting well enough it's not a huge deal though.

 

 

I like this lineup. Still rather have Hiura 2nd or 3rd. But this is basically what I asked for, with Thames in the OF and Aggy in lineup. I know this will be rare, with Thames in the OF.

I expect the Crew to hit better va Gray this time around. I know Gray has pitched very well vs us this year.

We took 3 outta 4 in Arizona, which I predicted.

I think, predict(hope)we take this series and the next . Boom back in first by end of July.

 

Wont be around for game, cause my son has karate, Letsss goooooooo.

 

Yelich gonna have a big game. Yelich and or Aggy.

Have fun guys

Hiura now scratched with left quad tightness

 

It’s all that running around the bases, just another couple feet on two or three of those rockets off the center field and right center field wall and he could have jogged around those same bases.

That Grateful Dead tribute night is going to be great because all the players are going to be high. Aguilar is going to eat 50 bags of gummy bears. Cain is going to be sitting in the outfield laughing uncontrollably. Braun is going to climb halfway up the foul pole and when he sees the people up there will jump because he's frightened and will be caught in a blanket by Counsell, Sedar and Yelich.
