love that aoki is getting the start.

[MVP2110]

no excuses for losing this game either. We should win this one even on a bad night

[bthurley19]

I think game time should be 7:10 tonight correct?

I think game time should be 7:10 tonight correct?

Ya, thanks. Was thinking it was listed as Eastern time on the Brewers site for some reason.

For those out of FSN-WI range, tonight's game is the MLB.tv free game. Rejoice!

+1

[TURBO]

Lucroy hitting 8th....ho-hum.

[Eye Black]

Although the Astros line-up leaves a lot to be desired, I do enjoy watching J.D. Martinez play. It seems like he has the potential to become a very good MLB hitter. Pretty good value for a former 20th round draft pick.

[Baldkin]

So much for the no-hitter.

[GormanHarvey]

Leadoff bomb would be nice

[SoCal Brew Crew Fan]

Aoki would be a great fastpitch softball player.

[chickinbrickin]

There we go Brauny

[GormanHarvey]

What? A run in the 1st inning?! Nice piece of hitting Braun!

[cnycerveceros]

Remarkable.

[Baldkin]

Braun, Ramirez and Hart doing what they couldn't do yesterday!

[GormanHarvey]

I like Ramirez's approach yesterday and today. I think he's going to heat up

[GormanHarvey]

Gotta like starting an inning with a Gonzo walk

[ELCABALLO45]

And that's why you bunt.

[jjgott]

Good thing we decided to not just give up outs there and swung away. Agree, that's why you bunt.

[Baldkin]

You bunt with the pitcher up... because he's 50% the hitter of anyone else in the lineup.

[Schlitz001]

Has anyone ever asked Greinke why he thinks he pitches better at home? I wonder if he thinks it's just a coincidence, or if he really is less anxious or more well rested at home.

[GormanHarvey]

Nothing makes me more nervous that watching Weeks catching pop ups

Nothing makes me more nervous that watching Weeks catching pop ups

For me, it's nerve-wracking to watch Rickie run hard to first - after watching his ankle sprain live last summer.

[brewtown82]

I'd like to see Aoki play more often. However, it would seem one of these outfielders has got to go for there to be enough at-bats to go around.
