This is apparently the free game of the day on MLB.TV. That's not likely to help anyone in the Brewers' market, but it should make the game available to Brewers fans who live elsewhere.

[jjkoestler]

What a throw by Harper to get Braun at 2B...

 

Nice to see a Luc bomb.

[Polish Falcons]

Home run #5 for Lucroy

[MrTPlush]

Oh look a Lucroy HR...that should help boost his -0.2 WAR. *Puke*

[TURBO]

His HR comes on the day I finally benched him on one of my fantasy teams. *sigh*

[yfinn6]

Garza.. sheesh.

Your problems started when you drafted him in the first place.

[treego14]

Why is Garza batting with 2 outs and bases loaded and his pitching is lame-sauce today, as usual? Be bold, Craig ... send up a pinch-hitter!

Why worry about bullpen innings?

[yfinn6]

Don't the Brewers have a lot of days off in this stretch? Why even bother with Garza anymore, sure the pitch count is low but he's all over the place. And here we go again.

 

And I know, it doesn't really matter.

[trwi7]

I don't know why this producer thinks this right field camera is a good view for watching pitches, but it's not, so stop.

[jjgott]

Ugh I was at the game today and as soon as the ball was chopped to Garza I yelled: "He doesn't know how to throw to first!" I still have no idea how a pitcher can not understand how to throw to a base.

He is having a rough year, but constantly pointing out his double plays and failures in game threads won't change the fact he is playing poorly.

[LouisEly]

I think Garza is hurt again. He was only hitting 92/93 today. When he came off the DL he was hitting 95, occasionally 96. I don't think the gun was slow as Knebel was hitting 96/97.

 

Khrush. Among the 32 LFs with at least 275 PAs, he is now 8th in OPS.

I think he's a reliever at this point in his career. Fastball is straight as an arrow and only sits 92-93 and not 95-97. IMHO he's the Brewers long man next year. Or maybe 6th or 7th inning guy.

Not when he's making $12M a year.

MLB Gameday didn't alert us to the fact that the Packers were on WTMJ and the Brewers were on the station currently known as WKTI (94.5 FM).

[jerichoholicninja]

The Packers were on every radio station I could find but one. How can the radio stations make any money when they're carrying the same thing as like 10 other stations?
