The Brewers need a strong performance from Greinke today. Let's take 1 from the Cardinals before heading out west.

[hawing]

Guys, you're not up against God here. Just another group of men. Save us, Zack Greinke.

[topper09er]

that 2-0 pitch Braun took for Weeks was the best one to hit that AB

[topper09er]

Garcia's change is looking good, we should think about looking for it ahead

[GormanHarvey]

Let's go Zackkk. Need you here

[GormanHarvey]

Is it possible to hit a ball more weakly that gets through the infield?! Ahh, more of the same

[Raw Biz]

Guys, you're not up against God here. Just another group of men. Save us, Zack Greinke.

 

I agree, it just looks like everything is mental. Just about all of the Cardinals seem to play above their true abilities against us. The Brewers are talented and just need to trust their talents. They're looking at pitches right down the middle and just keep getting frustrated. This game shouldn't be that hard. Relax, trust your abilities, and play.

[Yeti73]

We aren't playing well, aren't getting the bounces and the home plate ump isn't helping...

[GormanHarvey]

Dang its awesome having Gonzo at SS!

[umphrey]

Thats a play that doesnt happen with just 1 of Yuni/Fielder on the field

[topper09er]

I wonder if Furcal would have gotten Casey McGehee with that play

[topper09er]

Garcia started Gomez with 3 straight change-ops, Braun should just sit on that until he gets 2 strikes

[Glennron]

I don't remember the last time Greinke was this "wild."

[Ennder]

I don't remember the last time a Brewer pitcher got a close pitch called a strike.

[GormanHarvey]

Nice strike em out, throw em out!

[topper09er]

Greinke has K'd Freese twice on the same pitch

[GormanHarvey]

Greinke has K'd Freese twice on the same pitch

 

Sshhhhh...

[Raw Biz]

ARam wasn't happy with someone after that swing.

[topper09er]

Coshun: "Broken bat single into left field"

 

That ball could not have been hit more directly in center

[coolcool]

Aram... 2 swings, 3 outs so far.

[Raw Biz]

Everyone should just sit changeup every pitch. Seriously, that's all he's throwing.

[GormanHarvey]

Hart with 2 great at bats so far. (BLUE!)

[topper09er]

If Ramriez is going to walk down the line like that call up Green to start 1 game just to send a message

[GormanHarvey]

Coshun: "Broken bat single into left field"

 

That ball could not have been hit more directly in center

 

He also said earlier that Garcia had thrown 25 straight scoreless innings vs the Brewers coming into this game. What??
