Really looking forward to watching the young guy pitch tonight! Lets keep the streak going and get Burgos a win!

[nate82]

Sweet we have the Brewers minor league pitcher of the ear today!

[igor67]

Burgos first start and the chance to get back to .500 against the Cubs. It seems like only a week ago people were about ready to jump of over passes.

[FVBrewerFan]

Good luck Hiram, knew you would get your chance one day!

More like 4 days. With a message board it is always going to seem that way.

[vegasbrewcrew1993]

Good luck to Burgos today. He pitched great in the WBC. Hopefully he can continue that success with Brewers. You can never have too many god pitchers.

[zzzmanwitz]

Gomez out, Schafer in today.

Man, I hope Burgos is the god pitcher we've been looking for. We could use another one of those.

[craigharmann]

God pitcher of the ear. The expectations for Burgos are through the roof! I hope he lives up to expectations!

Maldonado at 1st Betancourt at 3rd.

[Funketown]

Not going to be able to watch this one. Still feelin' some good juju.

Gomez is 1-10 career vs. Jackson, so that's likely why he's not playing. Stupid reason given the small sample size and how hot of a bat he's been swinging, but knowing RRR that's likely it. If Schafer needed the playing time, then Aoki should've been getting the day off.

LMAO whoops. silly typo. it would be cool if pitched like a god.

[TURBO]

...and there is Rickie, holding down the #4 spot.

 

I'm not a fan of sitting Gomez when he has been so hot, makes no sense to me.

[MVP2110]

So we give Gomez a day off but not Rickie? Cause that makes sense. At this point why not start Josh Prince for a night to give him a day off.

[pebadger]

I was drinking heavily last night and thought I saw a guy running the bases backwards. Busting out the single malt to see if I can make it happen again.

[topper09er]

Nice change on the 2-1

[RobDeer 45]

YB for president!

[TURBO]

HB looking pretty darn good so far tonight ! !

 

We'll see what happens his 2nd and/or 3rd time through the order.

[liveforoctober]

Atta boy Luc.. get the kid a lead.

 

Shafer with a good swing too. Wrong spot.

[MVP2110]

Ok question here. Say Burgos and some cubs prospect both were making major league debuts and the prospect happens to hit leadoff and get a hit on the first pitch. who keeps the ball?
