Funny that the Brewer game is like the least exciting thing about the Brewers going on today. Especially with Garza on the hill.

[trwi7]

Do they have the classic option on gameday anymore? The new version is horrible.

[Vgmastr]

No reason not to start Broxton in CF everyday for the rest of the season.

[gregmag]

I'm rooting for Broxton. Fun player with a great attitude and a range of skills. Who knows if his recent success will last, but it's great to see.

[MrTPlush]

What a horrible challenge in the third inning.

[adambr2]

Elmore is hardly a guy who can afford to waste it when he gets on base.

[BarneyStinston]

More idiotic work on the basepaths. Cost them a run too. Never ends.

[MrTPlush]

Wow someone start fielding calls on Knebel. That was just pure domination.

[And That]

Elmore is hardly a guy who can afford to waste it when he gets on base.

He had a .400 OBP coming into the game. I think he's been a pleasant surprise so far.

[brewer1]

Will be interesting to see if Thornburg gets a the call for the 9th instead of Jeffress today.

[BarneyStinston]

To hell with Texas, sending out Lucroy and Jeffress is awesome.
