[torts]

Healthy Braun!

Healthy Rami!

Pitching!

Segura, Gomez, Lucroy!

 

NO YUNI!!

 

 

YEAH! Greatest day in sports has come! Keep your positive thoughts here! Post your negative thoughts anywhere BUT here!

 

This thread is for optimism, real and blind! Positive thoughts, everyone! It's going to be a great season!

Scooter had a couple hits and Gallardo hit at least 92 on the gun; both of those were nice to see.

 

Smith also had a real nice outing; having a lefty coming out of the pen throwing 95 will come in handy this year.

[3and2Fastball]

In Game 1 they looked like a legit playoff team. Was nice to see

[Lee16]

With every NL Central team having played 1 game now, the Brewers clearly have the best offense in the division as they have scored as many runs as the other 4 teams have combined. (2).

 

May as well just give us the championship now! There's no stopping the juggernaut that is your 2014 Milwaukee Brewers.

Hope springs attorney. Or is it Hope Spring's attorney?

[torts]

1 down! 161 wins to go!

Cactus injuries > pick-up basketball, scissors, or suit case injuries

[craigharmann]

The Brewers are ahead of the Classies in the standings.....and will stay that way the entire year!

[Funketown]

Yeah, but you shoulda seen that cactus!

 

As expected, 0.00 ERA, 100% winning percentage. Now, if the offense just gets it going...

[brewmann04]

it a nice opening win and yes if this lineup stays healthy i like our chances.

Lee your wrong. The Brewers will have the best offense in baseball this season.

Loved the Aramis play! He's playing like he found the fountain of youth.

Heck, with Wang, it's two lefties that can touch the mid-90s!

[JohnBriggs12]

The demise of Gallardo might have been premature. He may not hit 94 with the consistency he once had but he's using a 87 mph slider more now. No, he likely will never be that ace in the true sense, but a .607 career winning percentage is nothing to be sneezed at. Sure W-L isn't a good measurement in a particular season but over 180 career starts it does mean something.

Segura's shoulder will bother him all year and make us wish for the return of Pat Listach

BREWERS GUNNA WIN IT ALL!!!!

[saget]

I am optimistic about Braun's confidence and Joseph Attanasio's velvety singing voice.

[JohnBriggs12]

I am optimistic the 1B situation will undergo a major upgrade at some point this season. I am also confident it won't take much to upgrade over what they've started the season with.

We dun like yer kind round here.

 

 

Nothing like the first day game and win to prevent me from getting anything done this afternoon!

[Cool Hand Lucroy]

Hurray, optimism! It's tough to complain about a 1-2 start when the offense only puts up 4 runs.

 

Garza was awesome today. That was nice to see. I've got a feeling the offense will get going at Fenway. Big series from Gomez, Segura, and Braun!

 

Pitching depth could be really nice this year.

[torts]

the rotation was GREAT in games 1 - 3! Gallardo, Loshe, Garza! So exciting!

I don't expect there to be much if any drop off from 1 to 5 in this rotation. Potentially, it's one of the deepest rotations they've ever had and with Thornburg and Smith both capable of sliding in if needed, it's even deeper.

[trwi7]

The Brewers didn't get their second shutout last year until June 21st, their 72nd game. They have two in 6 games this season.

Boston: If you want to be the champs you have to beat the champs.

Brewers: Yep.
