I've never heard of Nicasio. I hope the Brewers' lineup roughs him up.

Thanks for benching McGehee, he looks like he's blind trying to track the ball lately, but Counsell's bat can barely get the ball out of the infield these days.

[PrinceEatMeat]

Melvin really needs to do something quick about SS and 3B. Can't go the rest of the season with a black hole in the 6 and 7 spots. Although, Yuni is actually hitting better than McGehee right now even though he's the one more likely to be replaced. Either way though, both are terrible.

Me neither. Looks like a pretty good control pitcher based on his walk rate

[MillerBombers]

I hope I will soon see...

 

3B Taylor Green

 

No offense to Counsell, he has been serviceable in the past but he hasn't been much better from the plate than Casey it seems. Obviously you get better defense. Please get a win tonight and give yourselves a shot at the series.

[bucksman4]

Anyone know how good Green's defense is? I've never seen him play.

[TheCrew07]

Green is essentially a scratch defender right now.

[Raw Biz]

Counsell could easily be 0 for his last 32 after tonight.

[hawing]

Counsell could easily be 0 for his last 32 after tonight.

On the "up" side, if he gets more than three at-bats, it should mean the Brewers weren't no-hit by a AA callup.

That scraping noise you hear is me at the bottom of the barrel.

Unless the guy walks 8 batters. It would take the perfect game out of question though.

[TheCrew07]

great... another WMLW game... love 'em to death.

[TheCrew07]

...and another power arm here for the Rockies... they've tried everything else, power arms make the most sense for them at home. Too bad they are hard to find and develop.

[pebadger]

Since nobody else has, I'll make the obligatory 'WMLW makes my eyes bleed' post.

 

And once again I just get beat to the punch.

[ilovebeer]

Well that was kind of a fast first inning.

[pebadger]

Is it just foolishness on my part ot hope that this is a low-scoring game? Because I don't know if I like the Brewers chances in this one if it isn't.

[ilovebeer]

What a strange start time in Denver of 640 PM

[ilovebeer]

Why is Naverson 2nd in the rotation?

[TheCrew07]

Why is Naverson 2nd in the rotation?

Covered in this thread.

[TheCrew07]

Another game, more of the same defensively which gives up an unnecessary run.

[bucksman4]

Betancourt -- shocked at the GIDP. At least he makes good contact. Yikes.

[SoCal Brew Crew Fan]

Why does Yuni look so surprised...we all knew that was coming.

 

It's like everyone knows he's horrible except Yuni, RR & DM...even 'rillo and BA are picking on him.

[TheCrew07]

Because he can't make the throw that Tulo did to start that DP. Tulo threw a strike off the wrong foot across his body, it was a very nice play.

[SoCal Brew Crew Fan]

Walking along street carrying my phone listening to Uecker (trying to avoid carmageddon)...just like when I was a kid with a transistor radio...and they are losing...just like the 70s. Cmon Crew!

[pebadger]

Upon further reflection, I don't much like the Brewers chances in a low-scoring game either.
