[phnxcrew]

awesome! we signed cooter gennett! can he pitch??

[trwi7]

You can pretty much pencil in Segura for a 6-3 put out at this point.

[TURBO]

GO GO cranks another one! MVP!

[topper09er]

Seems like all Segura does this year is hit grounders to the left side

[Woozee]

Gomez isn't human. How does he keep playing with this energy day in and day out consistently!

[trwi7]

Sophia just gave a 50 word report and 10 of those words were moxie.

[pretendastronaut]

awesome! we signed cooter gennett! can he pitch??

 

Obviously we needed to balance out all the Wang jokes. Shrewd move Melvin!

[topper09er]

Way to be aggressive with the pitcher batting

[ELCABALLO45]

Aggressive baby! That was awesome.

[trwi7]

Hope Gallardo gets that call. Not that I want him leaving curveballs there.

[ELCABALLO45]

That was not very good defense, Davis.

[topper09er]

Davis needs to learn how many strides he can take on the warning track before hitting the wall

[vegasbrewcrew1993]

thanks ump. that run is on the idiot at 1st

[yfinn6]

Yo is really nibbling tonight.

[Woozee]

Good way out yogi.

[vegasbrewcrew1993]

At least the Brewers didn't blow the lead. Umpires hate Gallardo. I've never seen him get the close calls.

[trwi7]

You can pretty much pencil in Segura for a 6-3 put out at this point.

 

Yeah...

[SRB]

Stuck with the Pirates feed. This one announcer is the most passive-aggressive homer ever. (Buddy, you can't make subtle jabs at Mark Reynolds for being an empty power hitter when your cleanup hitter is Pedro Alvarez)

[brewcrewdue80]

Just to put this in numbers since "being on pace" is fun.

As a Leadoff hitter Gomez is now on pace for 59HRs and 117RBI. He's in for a monster season with all the PAs he's going to get.

[SRB]

59HRs and 117RBI.

Not bad for the best defensive CF in baseball.

[jjkoestler]

I just turned on the game. How is Yo doing?

[ELCABALLO45]

Hey at least that wasn't a 6-3 putout that time!

[vegasbrewcrew1993]

I just turned on the game. How is Yo doing?

 

Pretty good. He's given up 2 runs but his pitch is below 100 through six. Umpire hasn't been friendly to Gallardo.

[vegasbrewcrew1993]

good hit braun. take the lead back brewers!
