Disappointing to see Braun out of the lineup already. If he can't play again tomorrow, I hope they just put him on the DL and let him heal up properly. Ryan Braun missing the first two weeks of the season won't make or break this team.

 

Time to get some runs going and get a win. Hopefully Garza can at least pitch competently.

[pacopete4]

Please win tonight Brewers. I can't take the stick up some Brewers fans butts after yesterday's fiasco.

[dlk9s]

You know why we lost so badly yesterday? NO IGT intro graphics. Tonight will be a bloodbath, as well.

[topper09er]

Only radio tonight for me, but the baseball-reference play index is free for another week. Uek said the first was the Menards big inning, where you win if the Brewers score 7 runs or more. in 2014 they did this exactly 0 times. In 2013 it happened once in this game

[topper09er]

The Rockies aren't great for trivia, but here we go. Can you name the teams that have never won a world series game?

Rockies

Astros

Mariners

Nationals

Padres

 

Is that it? It's all I can think of.

Close, but San Diego won 1 game in 1984 vs the Tigers, even though the Tigers scored 3 in the first inning and chased the SD starter after only recording 2 outs. The other 4 are correct, Rockies and Astros 0-4, Nats and Mariners are 0-0

[topper09er]

Not a trivia question, but I have always loved that in both 1996 and 1997 Vinny Castilla put up 40 HR, 113 RBI and a .304 AVE

[topper09er]

Between the Brewers and Rockies, which pitcher appeared in the most all-star games?

 

For batters there is a 4 way tie with 5 all star appearances for Todd Helton, Ryan Braun, Paul Molitor and which other player?

[Lee16]

How many days until Packer season?

[yfinn6]

Ho-Hum, another crooked number.

[trwi7]

Was going to say Garza was getting hit hard even if they were turning into outs but didn't want to be accused of being pessimistic.

I liked Brian and Bill saying that Garza was "rolling right along" prior to this inning; nevermind that he struggled in the 2nd and guys were squaring him up in those three innings. Rolling right along!

 

Those types of comments - just trying to be optimistic - remind me of the collapse when even the Brewers having a lead was a rarity.

[brewmann04]

was nice to see them get through 3 before the crew gave up runs .

[yfinn6]

Sigh.

[trwi7]

Haha. To be fair, Lind is 4-4 with a walk on the season, so he's really the only player that hasn't been terrible.

[brewmann04]

New Year same stupid base running really .

[AZBrewCrew]

I see Lind is fitting right in with our baserunning philosophies. Sigh.

[topper09er]

Joe Block just repeated the idiotic saying that the most exciting play in baseball is the triple. Clearly, the most exciting play in baseball is any play at the plate.

[DannoMac21]

Gonna be a long season

[yfinn6]

At least we didn't have to watch Ramirez and Davis fail to knock in a runner in a "runner on third, less than two outs" scenario.

 

#optimism

[adambr2]

Remember just over 24 hours ago when you were excited about the start of a new season?

[MrTPlush]

As bad as they have been in this short time I won't hit the "Lets predict the possible trade aways in July" until they are horrible through 3-4 times through the rotation. If the rotation and offense are still scuffling badly it may be time to look at the negatives.

 

I just don't get why they brought Ron back if they really felt like they could compete. I don't blame him for the total collapse, but just the way he was as it progressed was annoying. His attitude was just garbage. Can't wait for him to be gone.

[MrTPlush]

On the bright side tickets should get pretty cheap if this continues.
