Burnes probably going to get smacked around now because well, why not?
"This is a very simple game. You throw the ball, you catch the ball, you hit the ball. Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose, sometimes it rains." Think about that for a while.

The lack of consistency will keep him from ever being in our rotation. Million dollar arm, ten cent head is my thoughts.

Bottom line for me is that our coaches are not getting the best out of players like Hiura and Burnes. Its one thing for the Sogards and Smoaks to suck but Hiura and Burnes have legitimate talent.

Got to hand it to Ross so far. I didn't like the Cubs roster much heading into the season but he has them playing good ball. They appear to be responding to the new management. Schedule has been soft but hey credit where due.

That's my thinking too. People say he should be given a shot. He has been given a shot. Two of them actually and he crapped the bed both times.

We know what we have with Anderson and Lindblom. With Burnes the upside is tremendous and its up to this staff to get it out of him.

Why do we always play like garbage on national tv?

 

To be fair, what was probably the Brewers best game of the season (Game 2 against the Cubs) was their only other national telecast this year.

 

This year they have generally played like garbage on regional TV and the radio. Tonight’s game was close longer than the 4 losses to the Reds and Twins.

Note: If I raise something as a POSSIBILITY that does not mean that I EXPECT it to happen.

This is not a real season. I just don’t have it in me to get too bent out of shape with the team’s performance. A WS win won’t count for much but a lot of asterisks so why worry?

Sometimes talent just never lives up to their ability. It happens quite often actually. Meanwhile guys like Sogard who look like their in little league have a 10-year career because they figure out how to get the most out of their own ability.

Do no-hitters thrown in this crazy weird mini-season come with an asterisk too?

 

It’s only considered a no hitter when one pitcher goes the whole game and gets a win. So, there will be no official no hitter tonight.

1st inning: I hope they win tonight.

4th inning: I hope they score tonight.

6th inning: I hope they keep it within a grand slam here.

7th inning: I hope they just get a hit tonight.

Not just “at Night” anymore.

Pretty much where I am at.

I'm not just talking about this season.

The gif is appropriate seeing as how we continually see this.

 

I didn’t know Garcia appeared in a movie.
