Here we go Brewers! Let's do this!

[brewerfan82]

Let's hope seeing a pitcher with 115 starts under his belt gets the offense back on track! Go Crew!

[adambr2]

I really hate games vs. the Cubs at MP.. It's bad enough essentially playing a road game at home, but filling up the park full of insufferable Cubs fans makes it worse.

 

Welp, here we go. If we are going to win any games this series, tonight is probably our best shot.

Does the camera seem like it's tilted one direction or the other? Seems like the field is sloped toward the Cubs' dugout because of the tilt on the camera. Maybe I'm on drugs.

[adambr2]

I wasn't optimistic about that one staying in the park.

seemed worse because 90% of stadium got excited...we need all packer fans to take over soldier field to pay these fibs back

Seems to be corrected now.

[adambr2]

I'll be that guy...is that still an out with Scooter's arm at 2nd?

[brewcrewdue80]

Wow talk about an imposing 1-3 for the Cubs. Thats a 2nd rd, 1st rd 1st rd Fantasy right there

[brewcrewdue80]

Watching Brett Anderson, I'd think someone will hit a HR off him if not 2. Not impressed

[sveumrules]

First game I've been able to watch on TV this season & not sure how I feel about this new camera angle.

[trwi7]

You guys are right. Brian is good. I didn't want to shoot myself at all when he was talking about Andersons pitching 3 of the last 4 games or how Brett Anderson went to the same high school as he did for one year.

[adambr2]

Nice spot Jimmy.

[adambr2]

Are there even any Brewer fans in the stadium at all? Sad.

You watch far too many baseball games to be that annoyed when baseball commentators fill the dead air with pointless stories and random trivia.

 

I see this is going to be the new season-long thing. Every time BA or Bill says something stupid we need to know that these guys stink. I watched three games today while doing work at home; I was shocked to find out in each game there were periods where the announcers told stupid anecdotes or made pointless observations while their was downtime in the game.

[adambr2]

Why does Rock wonder if routine ground balls booted in the infield will be scored hits or errors?

[trwi7]

I'm sure it's probably a national thing but whoever spells names for the bottom line is drunk. Spelled Treinen and Scherzer wrong.

[topper09er]

Well with the shift on the old definition of "routine" has changed a little bit

[3and2Fastball]

I'll be that guy...is that still an out with Scooter's arm at 2nd?

 

Nope, probably not, maybe... Would have been close

[3and2Fastball]

Relative to Bryant's first at bat, I watched an interesting hitting video recently stating that he swings up too much, too often and that will lead to too many fly balls and pop ups. They were saying he'd be even better if he swung slightly up matching the plane of the pitch.

 

Anyways, thought it was interesting and it was on display in the last at-bat of his

[adambr2]

Damn, Jimmy swung at Ball 4 too.

[3and2Fastball]

Ugly at bat by Santana. Meanwhile Ryan Cordell went 2 for 4 with a HR. Just sayin'.....

[adambr2]

Wow, beautiful throw Pina. Still think he should be the starter. Although I guess there really isn't one.
