Another day, another RHP, and another lineup without Green's name in it. Give weeks a month off and toss Taylor at second. Weeks is showing no signs of working out of his slump and shouldn't be doing it in the 5th hole.

 

Go Brewers!

[Funketown]

Anthony Rizzo is hitting .362/.427/.709 in AAA this season. I dislike the Padres for making that trade. Kill mode.

[TURBO]

FREE Taylor Green!

 

Bench Rickie Weeks!

 

RR is a dweeb.

[rluzinski]

No way is Weeks going to get benched for a month at ths point. Not even close.

 

And Weeks is only batting 5th because there are almost no other options. What would you even propose?

[Spidey]

Boy.... I miss Ueck.

[crossface21]

My buddy just texted me Ueck isn't calling the game today? Anyone know where he is? Thank god the game is televised today and I don't have to listen to Block on the radio for the entire game.

[GormanHarvey]

Pretty swing by Rickie in the 1st

[jjgott]

Nice play by Ransom to keep it in the infield, too bad he couldn't get a little more on the throw. Let's go Crew!!!

[dlk9s]

Good news: we're into the SD bullpen already.

Bad news: the SD bullpen is good.

[jjgott]

Nice bunt by Morgan. How bout another 3-Run homer from Maldo?

 

Edit: That'll do!

[GormanHarvey]

Attakid Maldy! Nice bunt Nyj!

[TURBO]

For the love of God, bench Rickie already.

 

He is bringing zippo to this team.

[burnzy24]

Not sure Rickie could have thrown that ball to home any worse than he did.

[jjgott]

Still impressed by Fiers so far. Doesn't have overpowering stuff, but definitely able to get hitters out.

[dlk9s]

For the love of God, bench Rickie already.

 

He is bringing zippo to this team.

 

Well, except for that RBI double earlier.

[owbc]

Looks like the sun through the windows is really causing problems for the Brewers.

[adambr2]

Didn't affect the Padres very much against Fiers in the 6th.

[markedman5]

Lots of ground balls with eyes for the Padres. They hit a few balls hard but not all that many.

[owbc]

It's probably because Ohlendorf throws 10 mph faster than Fiers.

[markedman5]

God forbid we could sweep one of these crappy teams even at home.

[dlk9s]

Sweeping even the worst teams is very difficult, especially with a AAA starter on the mound and multiple AAA players in the lineup.

[endaround]

Sometimes I have no clue what Roenicke is thinking. Brooks Conrad is your best RH bench bat, as sad as that may be. You have two relatively strong LH bench bats in Green and Kottaras (though Kottaras might draw a walk needing you to burn another player to run). For his career Conrad has hit .206/.280/.402 from the left side. You hit Conrad as a lefty, both making your RH bench options much worse and being the worst LH option you have.

[markedman5]

Maybe RRR doesn't know what Conrad is hitting as a lefty? I mean he had Green on deck and then when Maldanado made an out he pulled him back in favor of Conrad.

 

It's like he is flipping a coin or something.

[adambr2]

Corey gets a great 2-0 pitch to hit...and grounds out harmlessly.
