Looks like a great time for garza to throw up a zero building on his previous outings. I'm ready to have more 4-2 scores again after the launching pad in colorado.

[TooLiveBrew]

Weird to see Zimmerman manning LF

[Dead Simmons]

Watching baseball Tonight and naturally all the talk is Nats/Braves and Brewers/Cards, being as both the "upstarts" are on ESPN's Monday Nite Baseball.

 

The Cards don't play 'till later out in Colorado so all St. Louis will be watching your game. I look for your lineup to make short work of Gio and keep the pressure on.

[liveforoctober]

Be patient and swing at strikes fellas. Garza .. QS please? Let's get 'em!

[dlk9s]

So my alma mater is playing on ESPN and the MLB team I've loved since birth is on ESPN2...decisions, decisions.

 

Think I'll have to opt for the team that is playing in a game they have never been to in the history of the program and relegate the Brewers to the tablet/laptop.

[ttsather]

Tim Kurkjian will be the Hot Dog tonight. I'd set the odds at about 9-1 for a win. He's got short legs.

Weird to see Zimmerman manning LF

 

It is painful to watch that man throw.

[DoubleSwitch]

Can't help but feel this is pretty big for a june series. At the very least it will help us see where we stack up.

[topper09er]

Seems odd that ESPN is not blacked out for me in Madison, I think I will watch the national broadcast just to hear the dumb/uninformed comments they make about the Brewers who they have never heard of

[topper09er]

Of course they are talking about Braun's off season what-have-you now because the Brewers have had basically no national coverage despite having a top record all season

[Dead Simmons]

This is my first look at Braun for quite a while. It looked to me in that AB that he's pressing...too anxious. Has that been the case?

[phnxcrew]

This is my first look at Braun for quite a while. It looked to me in that AB that he's pressing...too anxious. Has that been the case?

 

Yes. He's had consistently very poor ab's and has been swinging at a lot of garbage/ making poor contact with meatballs

[swheeler23]

This is my first look at Braun for quite a while. It looked to me in that AB that he's pressing...too anxious. Has that been the case?

 

Ya, he has been swinging at everything. Up until two weeks ago he was batting .327. I think he will turn it around soon. I feel for the pitcher that he breaks out against.

[topper09er]

I love Tim Kukjian

[phnxcrew]

come on garza get the freakin ball down these guys are average at best

[Abe525]

I don't have ESPN but would love to know what surely nice, informed things they are saying.

[DoubleSwitch]

for the love of god who invited auggy into the booth?

[vegasbrewcrew1993]

hey garza it'd be nice if you didn't give everyone a heart attack for once.

[phnxcrew]

i love the guys who shake their heads at a ball right down the middle. Sit down espinosa

[vegasbrewcrew1993]

ok garza. good stuff! 1 more please

[AZBrewCrew]

I love hearing Augie talking about the breakkaballs.

[bylo tesi me]

Nice Houdini act for Garza.

[vegasbrewcrew1993]

wow that may be the moment of the season for garza. bases loaded with no one out and he gets out of the jam.

[AZBrewCrew]

Matt Garza pitching philosphy "im gonna bring em in close, hit the brakes and they'll fly right by us". 'You're gonna do WHAT?!?!
