Nothing like some Snow Day baseball up in the Northwoods! Go Crew.

[stoutdude04]

Apparently Braun is still hurt. Awesome.

[pretendastronaut]

The Sox radio guys said the Brewers are supposed to be worse this year than last year?

[craigharmann]

Did not think that would be a triple off the bat.

[Fear The Chorizo]

Is Braun DHing because of something nagging? Or is it because RF in Boston is a ***** to play, the Brewers need more LH hitters, and Schafer gives them the best option to put a better OF defender and LH bat into the lineup?

[craigharmann]

His thumb. Nerve pain plus a blister. Tough to throw the ball.

[Warning Track Power]

Red Sox fans lustily booing Braun and loving PED Papi currently, and ManRam during the mid 2000s is the height of hypocrisy.

Don't forget Nomar, too.

That got out in a hurry.

[craigharmann]

LUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[craigharmann]

Krush make noise!

[Matt Breen]

come on. let's have a big inning. we need to break out.

[craigharmann]

That is going to be reviewed?

[trwi7]

Ugh, stop trying to steal in that situation.

[Matt Breen]

why?

[trwi7]

why?

 

Peavy was all over the place for one. Second is the reward of getting the 4th run isn't worth the risk of running yourself out of the inning and 3rd since you already tried to steal once in the at bat, they were probably aware of it and so Peavy was probably quicker to the plate.

[craigharmann]

Geez, Logan.

[Baldkin]

From the pregame intros:

Segura took a seed right down the middle of the plate. With two outs, I wonder if he missed the sign for some reason.

I meant, why try and steal in that situation. Frustrating we have a runner at 3rd and leave him.

[azcheesehead]

I don't think it was a straight steal.

[Matt Breen]

First error of Shafer's career.

[craigharmann]

How much has Logan played in right? Isn't he a natural CF?

[Cool Hand Lucroy]

Pretty poor situational hitting so far this year. Estrada is hanging tough, but it feels on the verge. The offense will need to pick it up.
