[TwinsBrewersWorldSeries]

hopefully he can get off to a good start. His past starts have been underwhelming lately

 

That said, he did battle back after that tough 1st inning against the Yankees go give us a shot to win that game (which we did)

 

Still... Only 3 of his 8 starts have been "Quality Starts" Hopefully we can make it 4/9 today!

 

Historically May has been his worst month and he gets considerably better post AS-Break (3.15 ERA versus 3.99 pre-AS Break)

[young guns]

Gomez is a late scratch, still with the back, Herrera leading off seggy 6 and Schafer 7 in CF

[fondybrewfan]

I would like to see the Garza we paid for today. He has been pretty underwhelming thus far and definitely the weak link in the rotation. Obviously he still has the talent to be a major asset the last 4+ months of the season and hopefully that starts today.

 

If Gomez was in there that would have been the nicest lineup we have fielded in a long time. Still better than the last couple weeks though. It will fee awfully weird if and when RR can finally have Gomez, Segura, Braun, Ramirez, and Lucroy all in the same lineup

Davey Nelson is just painful to watch/listen to. Seems like a real nice guy but he just doesn't seem cut out for TV.

I think he's just bad enough that he actually is cut out for TV - because Brewers fans find his mumbling and stumbling humorous and even endearing. If he was just a little better at what he does, I'm not sure he'd still be around

[AZBrewCrew]

Hes marginally better than Augie. Although ive learned more about breakkaballs from Augie than I previously knew.

[trwi7]

I've had the game on for about 2 minutes total and I've already heard Brian say "as a matter of fact" three times. Shut up.

new drinking game perhaps??

[lcbj68c]

Send this bum to Huntsville, promote someone to Nashville, and get Fiers up to Milwaukee.

[AZBrewCrew]

Ugh. Garza has been mostly garbage this year. I really hope this doesnt end up being Suppan 2.0

[trwi7]

Go away Garza.

[folly412]

I'm all for a DL stint and some Jimmy.

[TwinsBrewersWorldSeries]

Frustrating 1st inning. We leave 2 runners on base and Garza spots Scrubs a 3-0 lead...

 

Feels like a game that Jackson will allow us 10 hits, 4 BB over 7 scoreless innings while striking out 12

[valpocrewsader]

Herrera showed no hussle tracking down that ball in the corner. Maybe he wanted to allow the runners to score easily so he wouldn't have to make a strong throw and embarrass himself again.

[BraunyBoy08]

It's weird how we've had so many starts this season with guys giving up a bunch in the first and going 6. Let's how that continues.

[trwi7]

I still don't understand why Gindl was sent down and Herrera is up here.

[vegasbrewcrew1993]

I can't stand Matt Garza already. He's got such a stupid jerk face. He looks like an arrogant dude. Who the heck gives up 3 runs to the Cubs in 1 inning?

[wisniewski]

Garza is garbage. Sorry, that is a mean thing and not very productive to conversation but he is pure garbage.

[AZBrewCrew]

Wow. TLR overseeing Dbacks operations now. He just wont go away

[PrinceFielderx1]

Games far from over guys. The Brewers will win this one.

[vegasbrewcrew1993]

Games far from over guys. The Brewers will win this one.

 

I hope you're right. Garza still sucks though. Put him on the DL until he gets his stuff together.

[SRB]

If I wish hard enough, can the Brewers un-sign Matt Garza?

[yfinn6]

Nevermind, Sophia is worse than Davey.

[AZBrewCrew]

At least shes not rocking the Hipster glasses anymore
