Really would like to see Peralta put together a whole game today. Hes got the stuff to do it, just not sure if he has the mental part down. Lets keep this going!

[Invader3K]

The Brewers should be able to knock Feldman around for some runs. Hopefully Peralta pitches decently and can get the win. I'm looking forward to watching this one as the weather looks to be crappy outside (again).

[valpocrewsader]

He's got Scotty Feldman eyes?

I fairness to Wily the def let him down in his last start. He was doing well until he had to get 5 outs in the 3rd and it was downhill from there.

 

Here is to him keeping it together and the Crew getting the sweep and above .500.

[trwi7]

That's what happens when you play Betancourt at 3rd and Gonzalez at 1st.

[dlk9s]

Error not withstanding, was there a reason given to why Yuni and Gonzalez have switched positions?

[theavrock]

That's what happens when you have people playing out of position.

[chickinbrickin]

Way to work around that error

[vegasbrewcrew1993]

does anyone know what braun's walkup song is?

[PrinceFielderx1]

Braun looks off today.

[markedman5]

Can't afford to have Braun struggle when we have AR and Hart injured, Weeks in one of his extended funks and Lucroy with the day off.

 

This lineup today is really bad .....

[PrinceFielderx1]

I love speed on the bases!

[sdcheezhd]

Segura makes it to third this time.

[3and2Fastball]

Segura's speed is one of the extra reasons why I want him remaining in the 2 slot no matter who comes back from injury

[igor67]

Walking the bases loaded and a 3-0 count to Gonzalez, almost have to pull Feldman soon don't you?

[igor67]

Also agree on the speed, at this point is most of the way up and down the line-up too. Noboady is going to hit 50 SB, but I prefer having it spread out so much. Someone could take off at almost any point

[TooLiveBrew]

Way to hustle, Yuni.

 

I can't believe he's only on 2B... oh wait, yes I can. Nice hit, but no hustle.

[vegasbrewcrew1993]

Thank you Mr.Braun!!!!

[statman0007]

Braun! Huge Power!

[AZBrewCrew]

Braun seems to be back on. Wow!

[FullMetalCardigan]

Braun seems to be back on. Wow!

 

Even more stunning is that they pitched to him with Weeks on deck.

[jjgott]

Braun: the new 3TO

[PrinceFielderx1]

That pitcher should have challenged Braun on the 1-2 count. I knew when he didn't that Braun would take advantage.

[markedman5]

Cubs sure do give you chances......error by the pitcher and then a hanging breaking ball to Braun......crushed

 

With the way Weeks and Gonzalez are swinging RRR should think about giving both a day off. Can Prince play 2nd or 3rd? Yuni at the other and Lalli at first....

 

Aoki looks like he could use a day off too....
