It doesn't feel like it's going to take many runs to get this done tonight but a couple more sure wouldn't hurt.

You need to be introduced to Coach Cooper and “pouring it on.”

Hate to see the Brewers going into the Cardinals series with Williams and Hader likely unavailable for the first game.

Here’s hoping tonight is the Brewers break out game - I’d love to see an offensive explosion … maybe a 10-spot + some strong defense & pitching to even their record before hosting the hated Cardinals tomorrow at home

Stars of the game - Burnes, Huira, & Taylor … + Brousseau

That’s the funniest comment I’ve heard since last October.

[Underachiever]

Devin, Devin, Devin. 13 pitches, no outs, 2 on. Killin’ me.

[Underachiever]

Didn’t he start slowly last year?

Ya he had a late start to spring because of a shoulder issue. Didn't really have an offseason if I remember correctly.

[yfinn6]

Getting real tired of Devin Williams. 

[HarryDoyle]

Not a good decision to pitch Williams tonight. Worse decision it to leave him in as long as he was.

[yfinn6]

All over the place. 

[yourout]

I wish DW would use as fastball a little bit more.

When you've got mid to upper 90s gas to go with that change up why not break it out once in a while

[BallFour]

Williams is pretty useless if he doesn't have the airbender going.

His fastball is very average all of his value comes from the changeup

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

Rough spot for Boxberger to come into here.

[yfinn6]

Thanks Devin. Nice work.

I noticed that velocity drop.

[Underachiever]

Burnes walked off the mound at 7:53. I thought, “quick game.” Forty minutes later there have been four more outs.

[yfinn6]

Burnes pitched great, his replacement is a headcase who can't throw strikes. 

[NBBrewFan]

Why can't all of our relievers be perfect!?

[mtrebs]

I hate walks, especially to the bottom of the order.

[brewers888]

Great job Box.

If this directed at me, I would like to point you to the previous day of the same pitcher loading the bases. He worked out, but it was the same stuff tonight. Perfect? Hah, no one is asking for "perfect" but he has work to do to regain trust.

I don't think anyone expected Williams to be perfect. In fact, what happened is pretty much what was expected.

[brewers888]

Williams was bad no doubt but the fact is there is little margin for error when the offense is so punchless.

[yourout]

Could have been worse.
