I’ve gone to 4 games this year including today. They have been shut out in 3/4 and scored 8 in the other game.

 

I’m not usually pessimistic....but....

[PinaMadness]

I know one guy who won't be in the lineup. His name sounds like Derek Bogard.

[pacopete4]

I hope they lead off Franklin, just because.

[TURBO]

Villar still in the dog house for some reason?

[SomewhereInTime]

Villar still in the dog house for some reason?

 

He's a free swinging, strikeout and ground ball machine. He can be left in the doghouse forever.

Villar still in the dog house for some reason?

 

Counsell and Stearns doing lots of questionable things these days. Buckle up. This is going to get bumpy.

[Fear The Chorizo]

Obviously Franklin is up to give their hottest hitter some protection in the lineup.

 

Sheesh...

[PinaMadness]

Villar still in the dog house for some reason?

 

He's a free swinging, strikeout and ground ball machine. He can be left in the doghouse forever.

He's certainly a better option than Sogard and Franklin. .277 is nothing to sneeze at.

[PinaMadness]

Well isn't this a fine how do you do?

 

Now we will be subjected to Suter. And with two men and one out. See you guys tomorrow. What a terrible day to be a Brewers fan.

[burnzy24]

Well looks like Miley hurt his oblique.

[NYChez]

Woodruff, please pick up line 1.

[MadThinker88]

A couple of interesting tidbits coming into this game.

 

Cleveland is 16-0 when leading after 6 inning this season. Brewers are 14-0.

Neither squad has a good record against opponents with .500 or better record at time of play...

 

Corey Kluber has won his last 67 regular season starts when given 4 or more runs in support.

[TJH123]

Time to call up Corbin Burnes if not Woodruff

[yfinn6]

MDDC

[PinaMadness]

Shaw got a hold of that one.

[topper09er]

Welcome to the NL Kluber

[torts]

Can't wait for nick to make y'all look silly

[yfinn6]

lol Suter

[PinaMadness]

What a play by Suter!

[topper09er]

Have some self respect and walk off the field Suter. Great play though

[Eye Black]

That Suter play was so great! I think that’s the early leader for my favorite defensive play by a Brewers pitcher this year.

[PinaMadness]

Not a good time to be nicknamed The Raptor.

[Eye Black]

Nick Franklin batting 6th in this Brewers lineup doesn’t really feel a whole lot less hopeless than just keeping Sogard.
