I bought the whole playoff strip today to get the credit card points without expecting to actually have to pay the bill, so you can bet on the Brewers knocking off 10 straight here now. I'll take one for the team.

[Outlander]

Seeing Houser pitch every 5 games has at least been something to look forward to and will keep me watching until the end of September. Hopefully can get some runs and salvage a game.

Just your regular friendly reminder that for Gomez and Fiers we got back Hader, Santana (Gamel), Phillips (Moustakas), and Houser. What a trade.

One last thing from last nights game

 

The double was hardly a smash hit. It left Fowler’s bat at 69.2 mph with a 46-degree launch angle and hung in the air for 4.4 seconds, according to Statcast. Batted balls with that profile are hits just 24 percent of the time.

And it shouldn't have been a hit last night.

[Pugger]

I'm almost afraid to watch the game tonight...

If he has a bad outing today, I'll take all the blame. I just picked him up in my fantasy league. My pitching situation is a disaster so taking a long shot.

24% seems like a lot, I feel like Arcia could get just about anywhere on the field in 4.4 seconds.

I hope your team name is "Brewers."

Braun is in left field again tonight ....

Houser is due for a clunker.

Send Grisham back to San Antonio and bring him back in September please. No point in letting him continue to rot on the bench

[KeithStone53151]

I'm not a huge fan of Grandal hitting 2nd. Too slow, too much GIDP. It only makes sense if Cain can get to 2b often, so if we're going to do that...he needs to be stealing way more often when he gets to 1b. Man we really need to salvage one game here. Not a must win, but it's tough to bounce back from a sweep where we are currently in teh standings.

Agreed!

[PinaMadness]

That's a great way to start the salvage game.

[markedman5]

Crooked number alert!

[folly412]

The Milwaukee Salvage Yard is open for business.

[pacopete4]

Playoffs here we come!!

[RollieTime]

Love to see the bats coming out hot to start the game! Now POUR IT ON!!

[hawing]

How is that number under the R and next to the Brewers so big?

[Oxy]

Shouldn't we be pinch hitting here? Then bring Houser in for the PHer?

 

It "wastes" a pinch hitter, but there are 2 guys on base.... a hit/homer and Houser can cruise through 115 pitches or so....

 

Or does the "official" lineup submitted count as being "in the game" even if a team hasn't taken the field yet?

Not sure if your joking or not but once the lineup is submitted Houser has to hit in his spot or be out of the game.

Not sure I've ever seen a short stop playing on the grass in his normal position before.....lol.....
