I hope the Crew wake up and get good pitching and hitting back home tonight. Luckily the Cubs aren't winning every game either but the Cards and Pirates are doing well.

 

A rookie pitching for Milwaukee and the oldest starter in the majors pitching for Minnesota. Hopefully the kid wins.

When Orlando Arcia was born Bartolo Colon was pitching in Rookie ball for the Indians...teammates with an 18 year old Russell the muscle

I was going to go with the Woodruff comparison and say he was 1 when Bartolo became a major leaguer but I like the Arcia comparison better.

[markedman5]

Travis Shaw out of the lineup....dealing with a family emergency......keep him in your prayers.

[rcc]

Oh no! I hope his baby daughter is okay.

[wibadgers23]

Cubs lose. Great opportunity to gain a game on them.

[TJseven7]

Cubs keep sucking. We gotta stop. Big start for woody to cement his spot.

 

Positive thoughts towards Shaw and his family.

[rcc]

Bumgarner is only 2-5 with the win today. No wonder the Giants are doing so poorly.

[rcc]

Someone posted on the Brewers Facebook page that Travis' daughter had a 10 hour heart operation today.

 

Prayers and good thoughts for Travis and family.

I think why this has been so frustrating is because the division is actually out there to be won. This could be a year a Brewers team gets in, rebuilding or not, they have a legitimate shot at doing it. But ONLY if they can figure out how to get hot again.

[topper09er]

Colon's first appearance against the Brewers was when we were still in the AL.

Exciting game, Crew scores 3 in the 9th off Jose Mesa (still likely recovering from allowing Robin Yount's 3000th hit) to win on a walk-off single by Jeff Huson

[TJseven7]

Good grief pineapple

[stoutdude04]

Polanco...232...just can't make an out.

[OnaBadger58]

Arcia hitting it to all fields. Great to see him get back to that.

[jason21nl]

That's one hell of a slide

[topper09er]

Lets go Sogard

[superfly]

Now get the runs in.

[OnaBadger58]

Verlander on a no-hit watch vs. the Buck-o's. 6 2/3 innings

Nevermind

Way to go!

[topper09er]

I think Braun might have thrown him out from the corner in left if that gets by Perez

[superfly]

Nice meatball.

[markedman5]

Going to be another 1 of those nights?

 

Woodruff's command not good so far.....

Woodruff's command not good so far.....

His command certainly hasn't been ideal. I'd imagine he's still a little amped out there
