I love being excited for every Brewers game. Such a fun time this season has been.

[chickinbrickin]

Matzek is a guy the crew should crush if they are patient.

That's a giant if though.

[adamb100]

Lets get the sweep!

[craigharmann]

Figured I would take a break from unpacking and getting settled to watch the game. I feel like I'm finally at a point where I can get into full Brewer mode. I kept my eyes on the Brewers, but my focus was more on the Spurs, along with packing, moving and starting my new job. It seems like we're a little more settled, so now I'm looking forward to making use of my MLB.tv subscription!

[phnxcrew]

wow what a throw by lucroy

[DuWayne Steurer]

There's possibility Rami may have squared that ball up fairly well.

[DuWayne Steurer]

Come on Rickie, it's the catcher, put some mustard on that throw......

[coolcool]

Can we go through a game with Weeks where he doesn't have a sucky defensive play?

[topper09er]

Weeks is so terrible in the field. In his glove but falls out, then makes a truly pathetic throw because he cant throw unless its sidearm

[pretendastronaut]

Ramirez is having a great June.

 

Rickie's arm, not so much.

[craigharmann]

Weeks. What can you say. Doesn't squeeze the ball. Then spike the throw. Wow.

[yfinn6]

Ugh. Two plays in a row.

[trwi7]

Catch the ball Jean. Jesus.

[craigharmann]

Come on Rickie, it's the catcher, put some mustard on that throw......

 

He did, it just bounced a third of the way to home.

[stoutdude04]

Catch the ball Jean. Jesus.

 

Sick that Lucroy got the error.

[DuWayne Steurer]

I can't wait to get out of this park. Defense just isn't part of the game here apparently.

[pacopete4]

I feel like we have played down to the Rockies level defensively. Even Braun, get behind the ball and that tag up doesn't happen.

[DuWayne Steurer]

Catch the ball Jean. Jesus.

 

Sick that Lucroy got the error.

 

 

That wasn't a great throw, it definitely had a tail on it, but it wasn't a terrible throw. Error certainly should have been on Segura.

 

If there's anything we've learned in this series, it's that Colorado's scorer really doesn't know what's going on with the rules

True, we should be more surprised he didn't score it a hit for someone.

[DuWayne Steurer]

What are the Rockies seeing that other teams are not against us? They are running wild.

[yfinn6]

Everything with Rickie is an adventure. I hold my breath every time a ball is hit in his direction.

[DuWayne Steurer]

Watching CHris Dickerson hit is 100% nerve wracking. Between each pitch, he will pull up his belt, tap his helmet once, walk around the batters box do two practice swings, unzip and zip each of his gloves, tug on each side of his jersey, and tap each side of the plate, and finally stand in.

 

Maybe I'm neurotic for having noticed it, but it's just irritating to watch guys like him go through these ridiculous in between pitch rituals. (And yes, I know Braun does it too)

[DuWayne Steurer]

Nice dive by Rutledge after he already caught the ball.
