All that talk of Braun being DFA'd or benched is starting to look silly. I kind of figured he'd be the same guy he's been for a while. Terrible in relation to his salary, but still an aging OFer flirting with an .800 OPS. You can do worse.

WTMJ is back on the mlb app, much better now.

Braun cares not for the Wrigley wind. I like our outfield A LOT if Gamel gets 10% more starts for Braun over what the current rotation is.

[Zad Fnark]

Game will probably end 1-0.

Game will probably end 1-0.

 

Good thing the Brewers lined up their lefty starters to face the Cubs this series

[pacopete4]

Heard a lot of cheers on the Braun homer and a lot of Mooooooooooooooosssseeee on the Moustakas double. Nice!

[pacopete4]

I just chewed out my HS player in our last game for doing what Perez just did on a first pitch offspeed pitch. Just poor approach. Edited May 10, 2019 by Brew4U

Braun is now T30th all-time with 38 career HRs against the Cubs. Willie Mays is #1 with 92. Hank Aaron #2 with 87

Moose is hitting lefties pretty good, it seems.

I can't wait for Braun to break that record next season.

[Fear The Chorizo]

ouch

[Brew crew 92]

Geez. Make this guy work, even a little bit.

Eh, he's still been replacement level this year, he's got a little ways to go yet, but the last week or two have been very nice. I think benched just has implied a platoon, and I can understand that with the way Gamel has played.

 

The return of his power has been exciting. He just needs to continue to draw the walks, that's one thing that he was really struggling with early.

[adambr2]

Geez. Ugly little nubber and he gets a damn double out of it.

Why take out Gio here???

[Fear The Chorizo]

Wow CC - aggressive hook for Gio here, IMO. Cubs have made some loud outs for sure, but their two hits are an IF grounder Gio never should have tried fielding and a fluky 160' pop up.

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

Why take out Gio here???

 

Good question. Gio was as close to dominant as Gio can get.

Why take out Gio here???

 

they're sticking with their 3rd time through the order logic/math.

 

Time for Burnes to be what he was last year. Exactly what he's needed for here.

[Fear The Chorizo]

slider nowhere near the zone K's him here

[Fear The Chorizo]

Yup

[Oxy]

I like the move. 3 righties coming up. Especially after the 3 pitch K.

[adambr2]

They felt it was important to preserve the lead.

 

I'm starting to wonder if Burnes just isn't one of those guys who is going to be much better suited in relief, which I never would have imagined a year ago.

Happy that aged poorly

[HarveysWBs]

Pitching change works, for now...
