Thought we might see Suter DH'ing

[3and2Fastball]

Really weird that the ever so fragile Braun is not DH'ing in these AL ballparks

I agree but I don't know how you accomplish that with Aguilar, Choi and Braun in the lineup.

I guess... Ji-Man isn't exactly looking like David Ortiz out there. I understand wanting to get the extra LH bat in vs Kluber though

[pacopete4]

Another play where if a guys even running 90% down the line he might’ve been safe.

[adambr2]

Well, that would have been better one play earlier.

[MrTPlush]

Lorenzo Cain has been using that bat missing a huge chunk for what feels like a month.

[pacopete4]

Hey, we didn’t get doubled off!

[pacopete4]

The Brewers are in 3rd place for batting average with RISP and two outs. Who woulda thunk it?!?

[TURBO]

Will that catch by Villar buy him another start tomorrow?

[adambr2]

You really don't hear much about Villar being a defensive hack anymore.

[adambr2]

Not really going to give yourself much of a chance to beat Kluber if you're going to give up 3 runs in the first 3 innings.

[pacopete4]

Braun and Co, lay off the freaking slider.

[adambr2]

On the bright side for Braun, doesn't really appear that A.L fans really care about Braun enough to boo him anymore.

[adambr2]

Can we just get some lucky unlikely 2 run HR here?

[adambr2]

Well, doesn't hurt to ask.

[adambr2]

Wow, Cain is pissed about something. Don't know what, but you can't allow a double to Kipnis on that.

[pacopete4]

Mad at himself maybe? Should be.

[MrTPlush]

Wow, Cain is pissed about something. Don't know what, but you can't allow a double to Kipnis on that.

 

Definitely mad about his lack of hustle there.

[adambr2]

If we can at least chase Kluber this inning...

[pacopete4]

I wish we had a Kluber. Guerra did fine but how nice would a Kluber be?

[adambr2]

This whole road trip has been a BABIP nightmare. Hard contact, nothing falling.

[TURBO]

I wish we had a Kluber. Guerra did fine but how nice would a Kluber be?

 

It would be great to have that one guy we can count on 95% of the time. We just don't... Guerra has been a pleasant surprise though. Giving up 3 runs shouldn't be an automatic loss for any team, but it almost feels that way tonight.

[adambr2]

Jeepers boys. Way to chase Kluber. What'd you make him throw there in the 7th, about 8 pitches?
