2013-04-03 Rockies (Nicasio) at Brewers (Peralta), 7:10 PM CDT [Brewers lose, 7-3]

[topper09er]

So have they gotten rid of the switch-hitter-double-ear-flap-helmet?

So have they gotten rid of the switch-hitter-double-ear-flap-helmet?

 

Why would they? Just use one helmet instead of needing to use two.

[GenoSeligPrieb]

Seriously? 44% are excited to see Mike Fiers?

 

How did Wes Obermueller do?

 

Maybe it's limited ot just our homegrown minor leaguers, so I'll choose Figaro. Then Hellweg or Burgos. I cringe when Fiers is mentioned.

[brwrsfan]

Can Ramirez play first? I'd imagine if we insist on playing Gonzalez/Yuni, that they would be much better at 3b.

[owbc]

I thought the story on the grass was interesting, I didn't notice that on TV.

 

As for the interactive Twitter polls...

[Ennder]

I didn't see the poll but I'm very excited to see Fiers pitch. I'm fascinated by pitchers like him. Like a much better version of David Bush.

Fowler does not have a double flapper

Hey, hey, hey...

 

I loved Dave Bush and I really did think that he would be the first Brewer I would see to throw a no-hitter. When he was on, he was on.

[rluzinski]

How about Aramis at 1B, and Alex Gonzalez at 3B? Or at least play Aramis deeper at 3rd!

 

I'm kidding, I'm kidding...

 

No, that actually makes a lot more sense them playing a SS at 1B... EVER. Someone needs to email Melvin the defensive spectrum.

[topper09er]

Rickie would have flailed at that 1-1 pitch last year

[brwrsfan]

Come on Braun, let's get back in it here.

 

That works!!!

[The stache]

Weeks is hitting. A Ram is hitting early in the season. If our pitching is even decent, we'll be ok.

Anyone here know Canadian?

I liked Bush too. Plus, this game was one of my top 3 baseball game memories: http://www.baseball-reference.com/boxes/MIL/MIL200810040.shtml

[The stache]

Come on, Brauny. Bomb into the left field seats!

[The stache]

I'll take a RBI double! Yes!!!!

[owbc]

Rickie Weeks looks like an all-star so far this year...at least with his bat.

[brwrsfan]

Now Ramirez...time to make up for those couple of balls you probably could have had...

[Yeti73]

Pretty poor attempt at pitching around Braun there. Camon ARam.

[topper09er]

Ramirez thrown out at the plate and had an RBI hit bounce of his glove, he owes us

[Yeti73]

Wow Beltre has 346 HRs? Never would've thought it was that high.

 

I'm going to miss Volstad on the Cubs.

[rluzinski]

I just don't have it in me to get all worked up about the prospect of the Brewers going 1-2 to a below average team at home to open the season. It happens all the time. Just try and enjoy the possibility of a potential comeback.

[razzzorsharp]

Liking what I am seeing from both Weeks and Braun so far this year (both in fantasy and for the Brewers). They seem pretty sharp to start the year.

The first wasn't his fault unless he ran threw a stop sign.

[pebadger]

Dave Bush was one of those guys who you'd root for and who could be really good and then he'd just flip those frisbees up there and take your soul. It was almost like a viewer at home could see the homer coming even before the hitter could.
