Arcia again . BARF. lol. Ok, I'm done being negative about him today, not worth the blood pressure spike.

 

Lets get this big series win...

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

I guess I would have started Villar at 2B and Perez at SS, but whatever. Maybe today is the day "Good Orlando" shows up?

[brwrsfan]

Counsell still doesn't seem to want to start Villar against lefties, even though he's been hitting it well from the right side. Could also have to do with the calf thing from last night. Give him 2 days off to hopefully heal for this weekend.

 

This feels like a big game. More for the Brewers players heads than anything, show that we can beat them in a series.

[markedman5]

Might just be he wanted to give Villar a couple of days off ( off day tomorrow) after the injury at first base last night.

[KeithStone53151]

Guys, Arcia is definitely a black hole with the bat but his defense is still outstanding. He's the best option we have at the position at present. Overall, I like our lineup today better than the Cubs lineup. We have most of our best players going today while the Cubs are sitting Bryant and Contreras.

I still think Braun saved a HR. There, out of my system for the rest of the day.

And Braun is better than Bryant. It’s all out in the open now. Let’s get a W!

I think he saved a Grand Slam.... sure nobody was on base, but since we're dreaming...

In all fairness, does it really matter? He made a catch of very high degree of difficulty. That is indisputable. Solved!

[YelichPosse]

Let's be the first NL team to 41 wins..

And he didnt get hurt doing it!!!

Yes, very good catch.

 

Just keep keep the dust stirred, his two diving catches were much harder than that catch though, imo.

 

And of the two diving catches, the straight ahead catch seems much harder, with a better chance of getting hurt to boot.

[jerichoholicninja]

Are the Cubs the only team that has their logo on their pants?

[adambr2]

Come on Braun. Way too overanxious there with a runner on 3rd and 1 out.

[pacopete4]

Blown opportunity there Braun. Damnit.

[adambr2]

Have to be taking advantage of those opportunities.

[Roderick]

Supposedly free MLB.TV for game, but it only gives me WTMJ radio feed, even if I pick the Cubs TV feed. Any ideas?

 

Edit: Got my fox sports go to start working.

I think that's only going to work if you're out of market.

 

I don't have cable but I've watched every game on Reddit. It's...not legal but it's HD.

[bigredrobbo]

It can be futzy, I find. Refresh, or if that doesn't work, close and re-open. I've had to do that multiple times in the past before it "takes". One day that technology will work properly - maybe when we get flying cars!
