2014-04-02 Braves (Harang) at Brewers (Garza), 12:10 PM CDT [Garza's Brewer Debut, DAY BASEBALL!] [Brewers lose, 1-0]

[liveforoctober]

4 runs over 21 innings from our big 3...if we can get that consistantly we are going to do just fine

 

Get your optimism out of here!

They likely won't get that consistently but when they do, it's not too much to ask for 2 out of 3.

[Cool Hand Lucroy]

Maybe they pull a rabbit out of the hat against Kimbrel.

 

Not exactly an inspiring offensive performance this week. Mostly, it's nice to have baseball back. If they can't win the series today, get back on the horse at Fenway.

[TheCrew07]

They are only 1 bad pitch away from a tie game and anything can happen. Down 6 I'd be let down, but down by 1 going to the 9th is doable, Kimbrel or not.

I think Brewers should do away with these noon starts after night games. They come out of Arizona playing entirely day games and now they are squeezing two games in with 20 hours.

It's not like baseball is a physically demanding sport, and even in sports that are like basketball teams would play 2 games within 20 hours. It used happen all the time with the old state tournament format (4 divisions). You think the players would rather play another night game and get to their next destination at 2 AM?

[sdcheezhd]

Ueck was complaining yesterday about the early starts after night games. He might have been on to something.

 

Cowbell didn't work again.

[Cool Hand Lucroy]

Man. Frustrating game today. Wake the bats up after the day off!

[hawing]

Well, on the up side that was an almost-completely-sweet performance from Garza.

[logan82]

Garza takes a Sheets loss.

[brewmann04]

Wow have to very encouraged by Garza Start he was on big time. It a Shame the Crew ended up losing 2/3 when their Pitching was Very Good.Well it on to Boston and Philly and hopefully the Bats will come a live in those Stadiums.

It's disappointing that the Brewers dropped the series to a weak Braves team. Brew Crew should have easily won this series. The good news is that the pitching looked very good. I thought Garza was going to stink up the joint after a bad ST. He looked really good today.

[Invader3K]

Yeah, the offense needs to get clicking, but there's no reason they shouldn't come around.

[3and2Fastball]

we have a terribly weak offense and a GM who apparently thinks it is reasonable to have Overbay start a majority games at 1B

Braun, Gomez, Segura, Lucroy, and A-Ram say hello. That's all star caliber offense at 5 positions.

Maybe. We'll see. Gomez has a ton of potential but even in his best year he had a .338 OBP. The Gold Glove was deserved. Lucroy is a terrifically underrated player but his offense isn't the caliber of Posey or Molina. Can A-Ram stay healthy? Braun is legit. Way way too early to tell on Segura
