So Guerra...he's doin' ok so far. I think he was the first guy Stearns acquired and many here were confused by it but there were a few other posters who said he was a guy to watch out for. It's still early for him but how could every team pass on him for so long?

He started as a catcher, if I recall. Just took time to learn how to pitch. He walked a lot of guys early, and didn't seem to really learn to control his stuff until he was 29. Dude just stuck with it - Venezuelan League, Independent ball - he just went wherever he could get a gig. It's a great story. I hope he keeps it up.

Trace Thompson has a stance/swing a little like Braun.

[jerichoholicninja]

Potential is great but Broxton has shown absolutely nothing. Guerra has had better AB's tonight then him.

[jerichoholicninja]

Have a night Keon. There's a spot in the Sky Sox lineup for you tomorrow night.

[jerichoholicninja]

Oh Milwaukee. Really bringing the A-game on defense tonight.

[jerichoholicninja]

It seemed pretty obvious live the out came first.

[dacrew101]

Dat defense

[trwi7]

I'd DFA Grandal just for that. What is he thinking?

[pacopete4]

Keon Broxton can go away now. You can run fast. Cool. What else can you do? Honestly he sucks.

[jerichoholicninja]

Pretty sure this is the most emotion I've ever heard from BA and this what he chooses to use it on?

[DHonks]

I can't believe that the game is tied. What were the umps seeing?

[adambr2]

Can't watch, but on the radio it sounded like it was pretty obvious Counsell should have won the challenge and it should be 6-5. Did they give any kind of explanation?

[jerichoholicninja]

I'm glad I'm not the only who thought that was a horribly blown call all around.

[dacrew101]

It wasn't too obvious, really hard to see if he got tagged or not before the run scored

[1992casey]

Brian and Bill felt that New York got the replay right. They were pissed that they had to go to commercial while the review was going on, then the next inning started while the commercials were still running, and there was no explanation for either the TV fans or fans in the park.

[pacopete4]

Not sure why I'm waiting up on this one. Feels as though the Brewers offense is done for the night and I'm just waiting for one of the bullpen members to mess up.

[LouisEly]

Have a night Keon. There's a spot in the Sky Sox lineup for you tomorrow night.

Free Shane Peterson

Did that really go as far as Rock and BA are gushing about? It looks like it just made it over the fence.

Nothing is ever as impressive as they make it seem.

[stoutdude04]

That one was mashed though. It hit something and landed just passed the fence.

Brian follows that exaggeration with another about how Villar could hit 20-25 homeruns. I never heard anyone say that. I honestly have no idea why he's so highly regarded as an announcer. He says just as much dumb stuff as Schroeder does, it's just not cranky old athlete guy dumb stuff.

[adambr2]

If he can play anywhere in the infield, OPS around .800, and give you 15 HR and 50 steals, Jonathan Villar is going to be one hell of a valuable player.

[1992casey]

I never heard anyone say that.

 

Counsell has said that he thinks Jonathan can hit 20.

 

So if nothing is as impressive as Brian and Bill make it seem, it makes sense that they'd say 25.
