[The stache]

Juan Francisco at first makes me

 

For the season, Milwaukee Brewer first basemen are hitting for a combined .179 AVG. Their slash line? .219 OBP/.284 SLG/.503 OPS.

 

Sean Halton in his last ten games at AAA Nashville is hitting .514 with 3 HR and 9 RBI. His OPS in that span is 1.481. The man was first baseman for the Sounds before Hunter Morris was brought up from Huntsville.

Ramirez is definitely not seeing the ball well right now.

[TURBO]

I don't care what anyone says, I like me some Scooter!

 

great baserunning play right there!

[AZBrewCrew]

am I hearing things or is someone playing "Figaro Figaro Figaroooo" in the background?

[vegasbrewcrew1993]

FIGARRROOOO FIGARO FIGARO FIGARO! I hope the Brewers never get rid of him. His name is too much fun lol

It's weird seeing this matchup listed as interleague. I miss the free 9-13 wins a year the Brewers got from the Astros.

[RockCoCougars]

Am I seeing things or did the Houston manager just pick his nose and eat it on camera?

lol one time the cameras caught the german national soccer team coach pick his nose at the world cup.

 

question for everyone: do you guys think the old yovani is starting to comeback? he's pitched well in his last two outings. i know he's a slow starter, but this year is the longest that his early season blues have lasted.

[adamb100]

So, the Astros are leading 10-1 how?

[The stache]

at getting beaten 10-1 by the Astros. All you can do is laugh.

It was just 6-1 and Matt Dominguez hit a grand slam, a bomb to left center field.

...or cry.

[TheCrew07]

Following on Gameday makes it less painful... ohh a Grand Slam... now down 10-1, well back to what I was working on earlier.

[chadomac]

on a more positive note... Carlos Gomez sure is good at Centerfieldin'

[3and2Fastball]

you know the Brewers are in a tailspin when In-Game Threads are just 1 page long. Wow

[AZBrewCrew]

And its not even Packer season yet!

[brewmann04]

It seems like RR believes the team is giving it all on the Field still,wonder what the Owner thinks about that.

There's no reason to think the guys aren't trying (disclaimer: I'm out-of-market and haven't actually been watching most games). They just aren't very good and/or are not playing well.
