Is it possible to stay in a game as a pitcher if a guy charges the mound at you (and you defend yourself)? I would not want this to happen, but it would have been kind of funny if Broxton charged the mound after getting hit on the second pitch of the game and the pitcher got ejected.

[adambr2]

Good job by Shaw not letting them off the hook after the DP.

Interesting concept because you can't defend yourself and not get ejected.

Haha, that's genius. Have Nick Franklin lead off a game against Kershaw and tell him to charge the mound after any pitch inside.

I've wondered what would happen if a guy just fell to his knees and looked skyward with his eyes closed. Would the batter still throttle him? I bet not. Probably just shove him.

[Lathund]

That was a weird inning.

Leaving too many runners out there today. We're one hit away from breaking this one open but we just can't seem to get it.

[jason21nl]

What an incredibly frustrating game

[adambr2]

That's sad. Leadoff triple and you can't get him in? That's on Perez and Shaw. Poor baseball.

[markedman5]

Just have to get him in there......offense has really struggled to execute the last 2 games.

BA taking a shot a NY traffic, love it. It just seems so terrible to live in that rat infested city

I'll never understand New Yorkers. Want to live in a city full of rats, crazy people and bumper to bumper traffic, ride crowded subways and overpriced taxis to take you to your 60 hour a week job so you can pay for your $3,000 dollar studio apartment? Sounds great!

[adambr2]

Wouldn't be a Brewer game within walking in a run. The wheels are falling off of Davies this inning.

[MrTPlush]

Absolutely terrible Davies

[markedman5]

Had him struck out on the 2-2 pitch.....

NY is not all that bad. I could think of worse places to live like Wilmington, Delaware.

[adambr2]

Nice job getting out of further damage, but there is no way we should be trailing this game .

[MrTPlush]

Had him struck out on the 2-2 pitch.....

 

It was close. No excuse for losing your composure and walking in a run on a horrible pitch.

No excuses but really tired of our pitchers getting squeezed on crucial 2 strike pitches this series. Game changing squeezes 2 days in a row now by this crew.

[markedman5]

Sure their is an excuse.....he made the pitch and should have had a strike out....it's not easy to throw every pitch where you want it.....especially with the bases loaded in a tie game.

[MrTPlush]

should have? No. Could have. Lets not act like it was a clear strike. It scraped the strike zone at best.

[markedman5]

Well that should do it......brewers have lost 6 of 8..... tonight would make it 7 of 9.... 2 more to go in ny and then the Dodgers come to town.....could get ugly in a hurry

[adambr2]

Honestly, we are what we are. A very average at best team that happens to be in first only because the rest of the division happens to be struggling just as much.

 

Neither the Cardinals nor the Cubs are bad enough to struggle much longer, and I expect to be several games down in the division by the end of June.
