[willie key]

We probably should rest the all stars today. Big in season exhibition events coming up

[TURBO]

Just saw Thames in RF and Yelich on the bench...

 

Thames in the OF is a nightmare.

 

Whatever happened to every game matters?

 

Like someone said yesterday, at least we got the salvage game out of the way.

Well, they are resting Yelich. More important to have him ready for the HR Derby than do everything possible to beat a division rival that is breathing down their necks.

 

How long will it take for Thames in right field to prove costly?

[willie key]

Is Dubon called up?

 

I’m surprised he isn’t playing today

It seems like right field has been getting a ton of action in this series too.

Hope it's not a Nottingham call-up where you forget he's even there.

Ha. Figures. Unless he hasn’t arrived yet.

 

CC needs this break. Gotta be honest, he’s become more pedestrian as a manager, this last month or two, at least in my mind.

 

Stearns can use a reset too. This Organizational depth above all else mantra is costing this team wins, imo. It’s been pitching more than hitting, with the shuttle, but now, it’s become hitters too. The 40 man can use a shake-up, imo.

[folly412]

Corresponding move is Smith optioned. Would expect Chacin available in the pen today.

I don't have a problem with them resting Yelich. We need a healthy Yelich starting on July 12th going forward.

Nice to see a Wisconsin badger score a goal in the World Cup

I realize hes gonna be playing, but it's the game before the all star break.

[pitchleague]

I would expect an "all-hands on-deck" situation today, honestly. Most of the players have 4 days off after today.

 

Go Brewers! Let's get a win!

[sveumrules]

We've gone 5-5 in the 10 games Yelich hasn't started to this point.

 

Yes, he's our best player, but it's hardly waving the white flag to give him a rest to start the game then let him pinch hit should a high leverage opportunity maybe present itself at some point.

[brooks_quichenick]

Really hope Dubon gets a pinch hit appearance today, maybe a double switch to get some action in the field too. His mom flew in from Honduras for the game, would be a shame if she couldn’t see him play.

My dream scenario for Mauricio is a pinch hit RBI with a runner on third & less than two outs.

 

Instant BF.net IGT legend status achieved.

That is the second time this year that back wall has stopped a ball from being a home run at PNC (in the Brewers favor last time). They should figure out how to clean up that wall situation, it’s a really annoying wall setup.

 

Edit: On second thought maybe I’m thinking of San Diego as the previously similar occasion.

[PinaMadness]

Tough break there. That'll probably cost us a scoring inning.

[brooks_quichenick]

That one little slice of padding was pushed down and angled back towards the field, if the ball lands on the flat padding to the left or right it likely bounces over the fence. Tough break

[BruisedCrew]

Hiura’s strikeout problems are costly again.

[yfinn6]

Hiura just needs to put the bat on the ball there. I realize it was possibly a ball but he needs to at least try something with that pitch.

[stoutdude04]

So frustrating. This is shaping up to be exactly how the brewers season is going lately.

[PinaMadness]

Told ya.

[Eye Black]

What a really tough break. Literally an inch or two from being a 2-0 game, but instead the scoring threat is completely stymied.

[brooks_quichenick]

What a predictable outcome

[markedman5]

Our inability to put the ball,in play with runners on 3rd and less then 2 outs is amazing......

 

At least we don't have to hear all the complaining about Hiura needing to be called up anymore.....
