Good job freddy. If he can start locating that slider more consistently, I think we'll have the guy we saw last year. 

[nate82]

I haven’t looked it up but it feels like Peralta’s change up is just getting smashed so far this year.  I wouldn’t be surprised if he has an above .900 OPS for that pitch.

@Brewcrew82 and @willie key please take a deep breath and remember you're both cheering for the same team.

My apologies. I got a little too caught up in the argument.

No worries, if I post something like that, it's just a gentle reminder to take a breath. No need to apologize.

Can someone point me to the Sabermetric analysis that says to put your best hitter at #9?

In the world of DH ball, it's not crazy to put a decent hitter in the nine slot.

Without a .300 OPS pitcher screwing up the bottom of a lineup, it allows a manager to more readily move their best hitter to the two spot (where they belong), which slides up the entire order. Having an intriguing bat (but not "best") in the ninth spot basically allows a decent order to line up earlier every time around, excepting the first inning.

LOLOLOL nice Adames.

How many options does Yelich have left?

He’s not good

[Patrick425]

The Brewers picking up the tab at bars is cool, but I hope they are also covering Uber rides home.

About 180,000,000?

[Brock Beauchamp]

That was a lot closer than I expected but nice slide by Adames.

That made me chuckle

but then I thought it isn’t out of possibility.   Ha

[Brewcrew82]

Probably the best play Castellanos has ever made with the glove right there.

Now that’s funny. I choked on my beer with that one.

Yelich got the money for the tab from inside the cushions of his couch.

Only following online a bit finishing up work.  How did Adames end up getting from 1st to 3rd?

No one was covering third on the throwout of yelich . 

[Zad Fnark]

Nobody covered third.

[titletownking]

Willy is so much fun. By far the position player I enjoy watching the most. 

[Sixtolezcano]

55% of the Brewer starting lineup is batting below the Mendoza line……WOW!!

Now 44% with Tellez replacing Hiura.

More specifically, the shift was on but no one bothered to... un-shift... so Adames just kept running.

[Brewcrew82]

And of course the ump tightens the zone when the brewers are pitching.

Trying hard not to harp on the umps this year...but it is so hard. Some of them are just flat out pathetic. Hes missed about 10 pitches already and we sent even into the 4th.
