That was textbook. Very nice.

That was textbook. Very nice.

 

I think RRR wet his pants on that one.

[sveumrules]

Man, I really missed the way Bob Uecker pronounces "Parra".

[DuWayne Steurer]

Good pitch on 0 - 2 Jimmy.

[vegasbrewcrew1993]

yup a real ''ace'' right there...

[BraunyBoy08]

Crap.

[WinkelsasVsSoriano]

What is up with the awful 0-2 pitches lately? Lucroy can block pitches. I don't understand giving very hittable pitches on counts like that.

New ballgame folks.

[Eye Black]

Man, that sure was a meaty 0-2 pitch.

[folly412]

Hopefully Jimmy learns to shed the Dave Bush Big Inning. Been really good until he hits the wall.

[WinkelsasVsSoriano]

I don't get the feeling this will end well for the Brewers. Seems they score early and give up runs (and the lead) late. I could be completely wrong on that, but it certainly has felt that way.

[lcbj68c]

Is it me or do we lead the league in K's on offense? Feels like our hitters think they face Cy Young on a daily basis.

 

Milwaukee is 19th in strikeouts--below average!

 

How about K's on balls out of the zone? Is there a stat for that?

[swheeler23]

Wish Braun would get hot. He has the ability to carry the team.

[vegasbrewcrew1993]

damn the giants are lucky.

[DuWayne Steurer]

Now Reynolds will strike out.

[vegasbrewcrew1993]

luc is just awesome

He needs a third pitch. He struggles the third time through the order.

[vegasbrewcrew1993]

at least there was no chance at double play. hopefully weeks can do something with this

[folly412]

Reynolds seems to be the worst runner on third less than two outs guy. Drives me nuts how a power guy can't just hit a fly ball.

3 for 15, with 9 RBI.

 

Must have had a homerun at some point there with men on. But yeah. Small sample size.

[AZBrewCrew]

Bases loaded and we wont score a run.

[vegasbrewcrew1993]

good job weeks. at least he's patient now. come on segura. time to come up in the clutch.

[Bombers]

.588 OPS ... Now would be a good time Jean

[DuWayne Steurer]

Who's surprised that Jean weakly grounded out to short.
