Want to score more runs? How about Weeks towards the top of the order instead of Gomez. That is if we are dead set on Hart #5. Gomez towards the top of the order should have ended in Spring Training, last year.

[owbc]

How many more runs will Weeks generate at the top of the order compared to Gomez? Their OBPs are less than 20 points apart. Gomez is faster.

 

There really isn't any difference at all.

 

There is no possible lineup combination that will solve the run scoring problem with this current group of players.

[AZBrewCrew]

RRR's use of the bullpen last night will come back to bite him tonight if Fiers continues at the pace hes going at so far.

[pacopete4]

I hate, hate, HATE!!! Fox for screwing me out of seeing my Brewers. Like I wanna watch Twins-Royals. Stupid.

[owbc]

Yep another Brewers nationwide blackout. Seems like it is every Saturday this year. They already got my $120 in March, so I guess it makes no difference to MLB. I wonder if the extra viewers from the game being on over-air TV makes up for the loss of online viewers?

[sauveb]

This Eric Collins guy doing pbp is beyond awful. He has already told us, at least a half dozen times, that there was a cycle last night. It makes me appreciate BA all the more.

[AZBrewCrew]

So, whats the over/under on how many innings we can get no hit today?

[brewmann04]

Does Weeks get a RBI for Striking out

[owbc]

Does Weeks get a RBI for Striking out

 

Nope.

[AZBrewCrew]

Does Weeks get a RBI for Striking out

 

it was scored as a SO.

[brewmann04]

thanks i guess it should have been in Blue

[AZBrewCrew]

Rickie's AVG is slowly creeping upward towards the Mendoza line..

[brewmann04]

Free ransom and now let Izturus ride the pine until the 9th inning.

[AZBrewCrew]

Ryan Braun is good at baseball.

[owbc]

Izturis doesn't belong on a major league roster, and the statistics suggest that has been the case for the better part of a decade.

[owbc]

Ryan Braun is good at baseball.

 

Now he has at least 2 chances at another 3-hr game. I would love to turn on the game and see him bat, but instead MLB insists that I can only watch the designated game that doesn't even involve teams in my market.

[pebadger]

Great. I'll be even more excited when they can do this enough to be a week away from getting back to .500.

[AZBrewCrew]

Great. I'll be even more excited when they can do this enough to be a week away from getting back to .500.

 

Im with you on this. Today's offensive performance means tomorrow they will put up 0-2 runs. The inconsistency is frustrating.

[pebadger]

That superimposed view of Braun's two swings was a nice use of technology.

[TURBO]

This is a very fun game to watch... Hitting is great, pitching is excellent...

 

How refreshing!

[markedman5]

Who was the guy that said Fiers is another Suppan?

[AZBrewCrew]

I stand corrected about what I said earlier about Fiers and his pitch count. He settled down very nicely after a shaky 1st inning.

[AZBrewCrew]

Gomez!!!

[nate82]

Who was the guy that said Fiers is another Suppan?

 

He is if he has bad control. Which is what I meant when comparing him to Suppan. If Fiers is not all that great with his control he will get rocked and he is also going to have to make some adjustments soon as the league is going to figure him out. Don't expect him to be this good for very long.
