[TURBO]

Is Segura dinged up from that slide?

 

Decent line-up minus Ransom.

 

Hopefully Fiers can hold up at Coors...

[dlk9s]

Is Segura dinged up from that slide?

I'm guessing so. I'm also guessing it isn't much more than some cuts and bruises.

[phnxcrew]

Fiers seems like the type that can actually pitch at coors. Along those lines I'm very, very glad gallardo doesn't pitch in this series.

Don't worry, Wolf pitches tomorrow. I'm sure he'll be able to duplicate Gallardo's success at Coors...

That means I have tomorrow off, I no longer watch Wolf games.

Why do I feel like the Brewers have not been that efficient scoring 3 runs in an inning the entire season?

One word... Bunt

[phnxcrew]

Never mind on fiers succeeding at coors. Now i will drink some coors along with my words.

[AZBrewCrew]

4 runs through 2 innings. [sarcasm]DFA Fiers.[/sarcasm]

[markedman5]

or maybe not

[markedman5]

Braun is really struggling in August.

 

I wonder is it's the blister or just a slump....

[sauveb]

Isn't this exactly the situation that Livan was signed for?

[AZBrewCrew]

So will RRR bring Leevo in for mop up duty or let Fiers continue?

[phnxcrew]

personally i'd like to see k rod for mop up duty to see how bad things can get. At least that would be entertaining

[AZBrewCrew]

McClendon in. Fiers out.

[Funketown]

Eh, these things happen. It's not like he was wild. They just got on him tonight and drove the ball, put a couple just past Ransom. Not at all worried about Fiers.

[markedman5]

Brewers on the road against the 2 worst teams in the league are about to lose 3 out of 4......

[markedman5]

Rockies do this to all of our pitchers at Coors don't they?

[pebadger]

I used to just love staying up a bit later for these Mountain/Pacific start times.

[The stache]

Meanwhile, Jeff Francis, who came in with a 6 ERA on the season, is looking like the second coming of Sandy Koufax against this lineup.

 

This team is just bad. When Braun is not right, the entire team's not right. Scary to think we might not have reached the bottom yet.

[The stache]

Braun is really struggling in August.

 

I wonder is it's the blister or just a slump....

 

If it's the blister, sit his butt down for a few days. It's not like we're in a pennant race. Get his hand healed, let him come back and tear it up, because right now he's not doing much, and the team is looking awful. I'd rather he be at 100% and the team at least play some entertaining baseball than the train wreck we're seeing on the field right now.

[TooLiveBrew]

I got curious when Rock mentioned how Augustine 'owned' Reggie Jackson. I looked it up on BB-Reference, genuinely interested to see how well Augustine had held down Mr. October.

 

.302/.388/.744/1.132 in 49 PAs.

 

Augustine actually did 'own' one HoFer, Carl Yastrzemski (.509 OPS in 28 PAs)

[markedman5]

So Fiers must have doubled his ERA tonight huh?

 

Really too bad that one bad start can do that to the kid.

[bullox]

1.80 to 2.63. Still very, very good.
