2017-04-03: Opening Day! Rockies (Gray) at Brewers (Guerra) 1:10 PM CDT [Brewers lose, 7-5; lose Guerra to 3rd inning injury]

[adambr2]

Is Junior hurt?

[pacopete4]

Opening day jitters for Broxton.

 

He doesn't belong batting 6th whatsoever. He was doing well at the top in spring training and for whatever reason Craig moved him down and he starts struggling.

 

 

Where you bat shouldn't do anything to you. If he's that weak mentally he won't make it anyways.

Maybe it shouldn't, but it does, and many hitters who did make it have attested to that.

[adambr2]

Damnit Braun.

What strings do we have to pull around here to get our game thread in the major league forum where it belongs? We might be winning this game if we had our stuff together today.

[adambr2]

Watch Cravy get called up today.

[adambr2]

Tommy Milone is just a gas can. How does this guy even get a MLB deal, much less for $1.5M?

[MrTPlush]

Wow whoever missed the roster for Milone must be furious.

[markedman5]

Milone continues to impress.....

[pacopete4]

I would of rather us sign Randy Wolf again. This is painful to watch. It's ruined opening day.

[jerichoholicninja]

Cue the "that's why we need the DH" posts.

Why? Then you have all the game threads overcrowding the MLB forum (and most games there is not much conversation going on in them - it only on page 3 for opening day in the 4th inning.) How hard is it to just click on the in-game thread forum.

Typically they sit it atop the MLB forum. Not with everything else.

Former Brewer watch: Adam Lind with a curtain call in Washington after a pinch-hit 2-run HR puts the Nationals up 3-2 in the 7th.

 

(With Reynolds also on the board, that's 2 of the past 3 first basemen going deep already. Somehow Carter was held to a sac fly in his only PA yesterday.)

MLB has to talk to Joe West. He is ridiculous. If they establish what the zone is, he can't just ignore it and call the zone however he wants.

[MoreTrife]

Rough day so far. Gray throws hard but his off speed stuff isn't particularly impressive.

He's been doing it his whole career among others. Its to the point, just hand it to the machines. The technology is there, and you get an actual consistent strike zone every time.

At some point I expect MLB will implement tennis-style ball/strike challenges. Keeps the human element of the game but allows for obvious misses to be corrected in < 20 seconds.

That would be a good compromise, but in the interests of it not being overused I would guess it would only be allowed on 3rd strikes.

Keep the rally going Villar!

There would be a limited number of challenges available...I think they could find a way to make it work.

 

Meanwhile...4-4, wow!

[jerichoholicninja]

3 pitches, 3 hits, 4 runs. That doesn't happen very often these days.

[pacopete4]

Wow. Quick turn around in this one. That was fun to watch!

[MrTPlush]

Agreed. Only one pitch away from doing that.

[Dragonbait]

I'm stuck at work, so not for me

 

Thank you game cast.
