Link: Brewers Game Notes

[Cool Hand Lucroy]

With STL playing in Denver, this feels like a big series. Take care of business and you gain ground on your closest competition either way. Throw in that the Pirates are kind of a house of horrors for the Brewers recently and you've got about as big a series as August can summon.

 

Go Crew! We should be slight favorites in all three, and this team feels due for a sweep, but 2 of 3 would be great from where I sit.

Pittsburgh has scored 7 runs in their last 7 games so they are slumping big time. Plus it’s time for some payback.

[KeithStone53151]

Let's go Reds!!!

I really liked the Brewers vs Pirates hoodoo we used to have over them, better than the "could go either way" version this season!

We are 2-8 against the Pirates this year, I wish it was a "could go either way" version

Schoop is 3 for 5 career against Musgrove. Moose has been struggling. Braun has been hitting well. Shaw is on a HR binge.

Us recently vs them recently seems like a wash to me, especially at MP.

Suarez homers off strip in the 9th to the the game for the reds.

Bote with another game-winning HR for the Cubs. Puke.

[adambr2]

The Cubs are way overdue for some heart shattering gut wrenching losses. Preferably in the playoffs or September.

I'm thinking the whole 106 year WS drought thing is gonna buy them a lot more karma than what we've seen so far... Hopefully that's the case, because when the Brewers finally win I want it to last a loooooonnnnnggg time....

Yes. Coming up, 9/3-9/5, and again 9/10-9/12.

[MrTPlush]

These jerseys are trash.

[ThisIsMyCrew]

That was not one of Bobs finer calls...

[PinaMadness]

Nice start.

[Lathund]

2 pitches, 2 runs. Not a half bad start. I mean I can live with it.

[ThisIsMyCrew]

Redeems himself with the Yelich call!

[bucks2281]

If there wasn’t a scoreboard, that ball would have landed on Miller Park Way

[PinaMadness]

Aguilat almost hits the ump again.

[MrTPlush]

And, way gone.

[adambr2]

They called that 421. They can't be serious.

[pacopete4]

These uniforms are atrocious. Great start though!

[homer]

Yelich is good.
