Sad reminder: Zack Greinke is 15-0 w/a 2.89 ERA in 24 career games (23 starts) at Miller Park.

Can't complain about that line-up, other than Lucroy hitting 5th, which is a run producing spot in the order...

Gomez should charge the mound tonight to see who breaks their collarbone first.

nice lineup for once. no rickie means we might score more than 2 runs tonight. brewers win

For a half-second I was trying to put a name with an S, a T, a U and so on down through the lineup. Then I got to the "!" . . . .

 

I'm just going to go back to the fundamentals. I just want to enjoy myself watching a good game tonight. Maybe that's foolish given how these two teams are struggling, but if the summer isn't going to be lost for baseball purposes the turnaround has to start soon.

[Warning Track Power]

I really want the Brewers to beat Greinke bad. Not that he was a bad guy in Milwaukee. I just really want Greinke to knocked around tonight for not showing up in the NLCS in 2011.

I hope you don't make a habit of "putting your money where your mouth is" using that kind of analysis. Of course, you do have have the word Vegas in your username...

are you one of those fans that still thinks weeks is worth a damn? the lineup is much better without him

[SoCal Brew Crew Fan]

How was the reception for Zack?

You need to look at more than BA. He is still batting well over .300 in high leverage situations. Not really a guy behind him in the order I would rather see in that spot.

After the top 4 in the lineup, statistically speaking Lucroy is the next best Run Producer on the team. Gomez has a lower BA RISP so far this season. Historically Lucroy is better than Gomez. And Lucroy comes through with a 2out knock to prove the point. While Gomez strikes out. Until Hart returns there isn't a better #5 option unless one of the top 4 in the lineup drops down in order.

[pebadger]

Nice.

 

Nice.

 

(Yep, South Park reference in a completely different context).

[markedman5]

Burgos is reminding me of Suppan....nibble nibble.nibble.....

 

Why did Lucroy set up on the corner 3-1 to friggin Dee Gordan?

[markedman5]

Can't get out of the 4th.......this team is really hard to watch

[valpocrewsader]

It's been over an hour and a half and we're only at one out in the top of the 4th? Wha??

[LouisEly]

Can someone please explain to me why Lucroy was set up off the plate for Dee Gordon's entire at-bat? It's no wonder Burgos walked him, that's where Lucroy was set up. Is that Lucroy's call or is that coming from the dugout? The guy's hitting under the Mendoza line with the pitcher up next - set up on the plate and make him hit it!

[AZBrewCrew]

Joseph Block's enthusiasm seems so forced.

[DocLuna7]

Maybe it's just me, but these in-game-threads seem to keep getting sparser and sparser.

[The stache]

Burgos only made it 3 1/3 innings? 88 pitches, of which only 49 were strikes.

 

You can't tell me we don't need a new pitching coach. We have to be the most inefficient staff in the Majors. I wonder if anybody has compiled number of pitches thrown by starter, and how many innings they've finished.

[TURBO]

As will the fans at Miller Park if this season continues in the downward spiral it is currently on.

[The stache]

Bianchi with a hit. Let's hope his playing time continues to increase.

[The stache]

Remember when we were 14-11 to start the month of May? Wasn't that great?

[brewcrewdue80]

I don't get taking Burgos out? His bat was due up in the bottom of the inning.

And I was going to say, with Fiers now, does he bat him or take him out which with Fiers, I would think an outing through the 6th/7th inning was coming?

I think we just don't have very good pitchers. Burgos has the potential to be serviceable, but he was in high-A ball a year ago.
