Would've been nice to see our new addition in the lineup tonight. What's the point of bringing up Kirk if he's going to sit for the likes of Perez and Brinson?

Shouldn't that be in Blue?

[rcc]

Now it's Guerra's turn to hold down the Cubbies. I'm hoping for another well pitched game tonight.

Maybe? Maybe not? Let me check with our new GM and get back to you.

That was a cool looking double play with Shaw on the right side of the infield.

[stalton]

I wonder if there's any analysis on which shift has been better? Either bringing the middle infielder over or bringing the third baseman on the other side

[adambr2]

I realize Villar has been a frustrating player this year, but I hope he starts seeing the lion's share of time at 2nd. At least there's some upside there. Sogard was a fun little story, but he's quite expectedly 1 for his last 17 since his return, as he's still a career journeyman, and we can't wish him back to May mode.

Lots of hard hit balls in the 1st.

[yfinn6]

Some hard hit balls by the Brewers that inning, much like last night. Results not there yet, but a good sign.

Three well struck balls to center field in that inning, but only one run. A bit unlucky that Shaw's liner didn't find the ground. Maybe a good sign for a possible big inning off of Hendricks.

 

EDIT: Looks like most of us are thinking the same thing!

Great minds, my friend!

Guerra gonna lead Brewers to trouble.

[owbc]

Brinson takes a less-than-ideal path to the ball.

[sauveb]

After enjoying the pace of Suter on the mound, watching Guerra is like watching grass grow.

[BrewCrewBlueDevil]

Get Hader ready now! Guerra needs to get his velocity back and he can do it in AAA. I have a feeling the second time through the order is going to be ugly.

Yep. Can't wait for the pitch clock to put an end to this.

[MoreTrife]

Guerra grinding through every hitter, every start.

I prefer hader in pen and giving woodruff a chance.

[ReverendBrewmeister]

A very inefficient scoreless inning by Guerra. Will be fortunate to go deeper than five innings at this rate.

[MoreTrife]

Have a feeling the second time through Cub's lineup will be a bloodbath. Hope I'm wrong.

[adambr2]

Good thing Baez has the plate patience of Hernan Perez.

[Matt1969]

Get some add on runs, boys!!!!! ASAP!!!!

[MoreTrife]

Why does brinson stand so close to the plate? Seems easy to generate swings and misses on inside pitches. Pathetic at bat.
