I don’t think the brewers have hit a homer in a week.

Kolten, Avisail & Manny all went deep on September 12.

For my sanity I want Yelich to get to double digits this year.

Plus two off days this week. Offense is fine.

It’s hard for groundballs into the shift to get over the fence so it might be tough

[umphrey]

Cy Young race still pretty tight, I think Scherzer wins it over Burnes as of today. Still have a few starts to go though.

No Avi tonight

Disappointing. With no Adames and Garcia the lineup against lefties is pretty weak. Cain batting fifth and Pina sixth speaks for itself.

“ I’ll take Brewers lineups that at the beginning of the season I never thought I would see for $200 Alex”

Pina and Cain arguably have been their two best best hitters the last few weeks.

[markedman5]

Replacing Reyes and Jace with Adames and Avi would be massive upgrade.

 

We are missing arguably are 2 best right handed hitters.

 

Look forward to seeing both of them back soon.

No Avi tonight

 

Its the smart play and right move.

[PinaMadness]

That's how you do it. Throw three first pitch balls and strike out the side.

[PinaMadness]

Never a doubt about it!!!

[markedman5]

Cain……wow.

[folly412]

Never surprising but always great.

[PinaMadness]

Thank goodness he's alright. We don't need JBJ in the game already.

[yourout]

Not exactly murderers row batting for the crew tonight.

[PinaMadness]

Gotta be quicker than that, Escobar. They had him dead to rights.

My point is not that Cain and Pina shouldn’t be in the lineup, but that in a good lineup they should be batting 7th and 8th, not 5th and 6th. Put Adames second and Garcia fourth and you have a much more potent lineup.

[Cool Hand Lucroy]

Gotta be quicker than that, Escobar. They had him dead to rights.

 

Karros was right about going right to the bag. Rare moment of insight from national announcers.
