Mike Fiers' day is done before getting out of the 2nd inning. 7 runs given up in 1 2/3 innings, leaving with a runner on 3rd base and two outs. Figaro in for long relief. Disastrous outing for Fiers.

Wow Fiers! Nice outing

[sdcheezhd]

This might be Fiers' last start for a while. Didn't pitch smart and had no control.

[502 to Right]

Would someone please come over to my house and kick me violently in the nuts? It would be more enjoyable than watching this game. We don't even have Segura to watch.

[jjkoestler]

Figaro looked great. Silver lining

[Eye Black]

Grand Slam for Lucroy! Wow, 2-run game now. Who saw this coming?!

[Eye Black]

Video review took away Lucroy's HR and gave him a triple. I think they blew that review, but not much arguing from the Brewers staff.

There never is.

[sdcheezhd]

Uecker and Block seemed OK with the triple call.

Under Citizens Bank Park I don't see anything that definitively says that that rail is a home run. It's not very clear, though.

 

This is the most similar play I can find, even though it's in RF, not LF. But it was not called a HR.

Wow that run looks big now. Let's have Segura make it moot.

[jjkoestler]

I'm really surprised RR didn't have LS lay down a bunt.

I find this somewhat encouraging, actually.

That's what Block said. Nothing re LF but looking at the RF rules it wouldn't be a HR.

[Dean Machine]

Should have bunted Shafer and saved Segura.

[AZBrewCrew]

I'll take a Maldonado smash here

[adambr2]

Why was Braun not in the game?

[Dean Machine]

Maldonado has done nothing this year.

It's an automatic ejection to argue a review at all and it appears the umpires got it right.

[sdcheezhd]

Why was Braun not in the game?

 

Out as part of a double switch after he batted in the 5th. 7-0 at the time and he needs a rest so made sense.

[brewmann04]

Terrible start by Mike guess that might be concerned about his mom. But he needs to be taken out of the rotation asap

[rabe_post]

If any other brewer pitcher would have started this game they would have won. 7 runs in 1 & 2/3 is ridiculous even by the crews standards I sure hope you are right!

[rabe_post]

This game was a perfect overview of the whole year so far. No pitching, and a very good offence that can't overcome the hole they are put in. I do feel hopeful though, the Brewers played 3 exciting and competitive games, and it should have been a sweep. I think the Crew is back. Now lets run down them sorry cubs and put 'em back in the gutter where they belong!
