Ashby is effective today!

Hurray!

Now, let's get that offensive engine purring!  I feel a stirring!

He's played four games for Milwaukee, give me a break.

I have Hunter Renfrow on my fantasy football team, so you can be sure to get your revenge if I ever mess that up.

[treego14]

Way to go, Yelli!

The engine is getting out of 1st gear now!

Then, pow!

He... uh... has kinda been around for awhile, though. Before this season began, he had played 159 games against the Brewers.

With that said, I don't really care about spelling.

[Brock Beauchamp]

Renfroe, this is literally your job. Lefty on the mound, runner on base, do something.

[brewers888]

Renfroe so far has been a perfect replacement for Bradley.

[treego14]

Renfroe on the phone with JBJ now ... "I was good before I got here ... response: 'I feel ya', bro!"

I'm sorry is this Piratesfanatic.com?

[AKCheesehead]

I want to take this moment to publicly applaud treego’s efforts in this thread, lest they go unrecognized. There ought to be medals handed out for stuff like that. 

[adambr2]

I would call him Hunter Bradley Jr, but at least JBJ had a glove. 

[treego14]

More pain!

Thanks, Cain!

[brewers888]

I'm sorry but Cain shouldn't be pinch hitting for anyone.

No, but they are in talks to purchase that domain.

[SomewhereInTime]

If Cain can't be bothered to run out grounders anymore it's time to hang them up.  Being paid far too much money to be a part time player anyway.

[brewers888]

We haven't faced one decent much less good pitcher today yet we can't do anything.

[adambr2]

Andy Haines > Whoever our two scrub hitting coaches are now

[markedman5]

I think I’d prefer to take a shot with Rowdy there over Cain…….

ablut to be shutout twice in 4 games……against the Cubs and the Orioles……yuck

Its his last year and the defense is still good but he shouldn't start more than once or twice a week and he should never be used as a pinch hitter.

[NBBrewFan]

Counsel must have 7pm reservations at Thames Street Oyster House so he put in Cain to move things along.

[brewers888]

Gustave certainly is the right guy to put this one out of reach if it isn't already.

[yourout]

It's going to take a while for the bats to come around.

Fixing bad hitting mechanics is one of the hardest things to correct.

[gebc1997]

25 for 121 so far this year.  206 batting average as a team .  I would so much rather lose 8-6 then lose 3-1

Mr. Optimist.  How do you think this offense scores 1 run?

[brewers888]

This defense has been atrocious. 

[markedman5]

Doesn’t get anymore routine then that…….
