Solve for X

[pacopete4]

Perez is RF? Didn't see that one coming. Perfect example of why another RH bat is needed on our bench. Scooter should not be in the lineup today. Batting Scooter, Broxton and our pitcher is about as automatic outs as it gets.

Tommy Lasorda is at the ballpark today.

Doh!

Another gem for Zach so far.. He doesn't throw hard but his command is top notch

[markedman5]

Man has he been impressive. Everything down in the zone and on the corners.

 

Shows if you learn how to pitch you don't have to throw 96 to be effective.

My word did Melvin fleece the O's.

[adambr2]

Doesn't make a lot of sense to just waste Davies' AB last inning with runners on 2nd and 3rd and 1 out just to give him a short leash in the 7th.

[markedman5]

Era down to 3.88 for Zach....

[trwi7]

My word did Melvin fleece the O's.

 

Gerardo Parra has a .266 average and only a .276 OBP this year. Even Yuni is like take a pitch, bro.

[stalton]

Good win and way to split the series!!

[1992casey]

Davies and Broxton were busy on the basepaths today. And Scooter had a double and single off of Matz.

[1992casey]

There's a nice article about Zach by Mike Bauman on brewers.com.

 

The article also mentions that Terry Collins missed today's game due to an "undisclosed medical condition" and will be spending the night at Froedtert. I hope he's OK.

[hawing]

My S.O. caught two foul balls today, and had a chance at a third. The first one was the one he missed. The second opportunity was off Jonathan Villar's bat (I think in the 3rd). The third was off Cespedes in the 8th and that was a screamer headed toward my face. He kept the Villar ball and gave the Cespedes to a little girl across the aisle.

 

If you follow the Brewers on Twitter, they posted a photo of S.O. posing with the first caught ball. I'm visible too, for those of you who didn't already know but always wondered what I look like.

Is Jhan Marinez still alive? Feels like he hasn't pitched in weeks.
