2014-08-17 Brewers (Peralta) at Dodgers (Haren), 3:10 PM CDT [Brewers SWEEP, 7-2; 5 RBI from Luc, 6 scoreless IP from Peralta]

Am I wrong that Gomez would have had that? Parra doesn't look used to CF.

[chickinbrickin]

Van Slyke is a guy I was wishing the brewers would have targeted to play 1B. Not sure if he played there at all, but seems to be a good bat that will just waste away on LA with their stacked OF.

[chickinbrickin]

Reynolds should have tagged out van Slyke running to third

 

Edit, I guess just getting outs is key right now

[SRB]

lol

For goodness sake...

[jjgott]

Lol wut?

As good a time as any to add to the Herrera in the outfield blooper reel.

[razzzorsharp]

Just bad luck, not much can be done there. Hopefully we can use Estrada again for the 9th and get out of there.

[DuWayne Steurer]

Boy have BA and Counsell run out of things to talk about.

[Cool Hand Lucroy]

Strikeout notwithstanding, Herrera has looked pretty good at the plate when given a chance. It's nice to see.

Is Gorzelanny in the bathroom or something?

[sarcasm]Ron will probably bring him in if a lefty comes to the plate this inning.[/sarcasm]

SWEEEEEEEEEEEEEP

[folly412]

Glad I was never given the sign-up sheet for a 4-3 road trip.

[jjgott]

Very surprising result but exactly what the doctor ordered. Hope this team can go on a nice run

[adamb100]

We swept the best team in the National League, including beating the best pitcher in Baseball. wow.

 

Also the first time this season the Dodgers got swept.

I was expecting us getting swept vs. Greinke and Kershaw.

1 win would be the best to hope for.

2 wins was frosting on the road trip.

3 wins is Christmas Day!

[jjgott]

Nationals trying hard to blow this game against the Pirates

[BraunyBoy08]

In other news, holy crap Rockies comeback

[Lee16]

Aroldis Chapman, 0 outs, 4 ER, 4 BB...lol! Thanks Colorado!

[Invader3K]

It just shows how crazy baseball can be... Split a series in Chicago, then sweep the Dodgers in Los Angeles. Gotta love it.

[SoCal Brew Crew Fan]

What a weekend at Blue Heaven. It was boiling outside and Sundays are more of a family atmosphere which makes for a docile crowd. Seemed to be more Brewers fans there today versus last night.

 

Had a feeling Luc would bounce back. We had great seats last night and could see him talking to himself before, during and after every at bat. Kershaw was completely inside his head. Today he was on a mission. This one was over early. You could feel it was over as soon as Luc's HR left his bat (it was a no doubter). When he hit the double...there was your dagger. They caught the Dodgers at a good time. With Ramirez out of the lineup, just keep Gordon off base and be careful with the next 3 and they won't hurt anyone.

 

This team is something else. They are completely capable of beating anyone...and losing to anyone. There isn't anything that would surprise me about these guys...good and bad. It's going to be a fun one. That's 4-0 for SoCal this season. They won my lone trip to Miller Park this year when they beat Lincecum and now a sweep in LA. OK folks back home...it's on you now! Flags fly forever...let's go get one!

[TooLiveBrew]

Thanks for the excellent recaps, & your in-person support, SoCal!
