Party like it's June 2000? which is when Bronson Arroyo made his MLB debut. Or maybe just 2006, when he debuted as a Red.

Hey Folks. New remember here... Looking forward to today's game and the entire series. Should be an interesting one as two rebuilding rivals try to make an early statement.

[Mudville9]

Welcome!

 

That is a pretty nice Brewer lineup...except Arcia. Hopefully we can put up some runs today! ...we will probably get shut out now that I said this.

[pacopete4]

Braun just missed that one.

[adambr2]

Great. Any single against Nelson by Hamilton might as well be a double.

[adambr2]

Billy Hamilton is really pissing me off tonight already.

[MrTPlush]

worst route ever

[stoutdude04]

I see we have 2 fly outs...394 feet and 388 feet.

[adambr2]

I dare say that was a great defensive play by Jonathan Villar.

[yfinn6]

Wow, I'm surprised that Jimmy got the bunt down. Nicely done.

[adambr2]

I'll take it.

[adambr2]

Wasn't the prettiest looking sac bunt. But effective enough.

[adambr2]

Wtg Braun!

[MrTPlush]

Only a matter of time before Braun hit that soft tossing garbage.

[FVBrewerFan]

Great stab by JV, nice hit by Arcia, now a 2 out rbi. Those are like the top 3 IGT complaints this year!!

 

Edit. Braun says this is what you're missing Dodgers!

[pacopete4]

Braun just missed that one.

 

But not that one.

[adambr2]

Was going to say this before the Braun HR, but for some reason, probably because of the Aguilar hype, Thames' fast start is being overlooked. It shouldn't be. He's been everything we hoped for so far.

Well when you have a .500 BABIP...

 

Seriously though he has done pretty well so far. Hoping once he gets comfortable that HR power will start to show and get us all really excited.

[adambr2]

Nelson is just brutal keeping runners close. Both of those throws from Pina tonight were perfect and he still never had a chance to get him.

[FVBrewerFan]

Brinson back in the lineup tonight btw

[adambr2]

Whew, 3-0 green light and a harmless fly out.

I would have to go back, but I thought the first one was really high.

[LouisEly]

Nice to have a debate about 7-8 realistic SP options and not have to trot out the likes of Arroyo

You mean like Millone?

[markedman5]

Looks like new and improved Jimmy Nelson has shown up to,start the season.....I like it
