Ugh, this pitching matchup again.

I'm impressed that Counsell is just tossing out the same lineup. I thought for sure he would make a change just for changes sake.

Hendricks is on the hill tomorrow, which means we'll likely see Gyorko, Taylor and perhaps Braun back on the bench. Sogard is guaranteed to start once this series, if not both Saturday and Sunday.

I find it odd that Sogard was a mainstay in the line-up, then all of a sudden he's gone...

Don't jinx it!

19 runs in the last game means they're going to struggle to score at all tonight

[folly412]

It's the vs. LHP lineup. Completely different team.

 

7-3 Brewers

Good first inning for Woody. Ian Happ squared him up pretty good, but luckily to the deepest part of the park. I knew Happ was having a good season, but didn’t realize until today that he’s squarely in the conversation as a top 5 NL MVP candidate this year.

Hiura misses so many fat pitches. My goodness.

[TURBO]

I find it almost impossible to believe that Yelich is hitting .213 after 40+ games....

 

That is just crazy talk...

 

I honestly think that knee is bothering him.

Hiura misses so many fat pitches. My goodness.

Strike three was one he should have put in the seats.

No kidding. Strike 2 even.

[Eye Black]

Well it was the middle and bottom of the order that did the majority of the damage on Wednesday, might need to be the same today.

[Pugger]

We just turned the game on our sling box. Who is the play-by- play guy with Rock on the broadcast?

[adambr2]

The meat of the order (Hiura, Yelich) has just killed this offense. Not because they've been horrible, but because they haven't been nearly as good as we'd hoped.

[Pugger]

It is a shame Yeli can't it going so far...

This is so accurate. What do you think their record would be if both werent just average this year? Have to imagine that's at least 2 or 3 wins.

Average is being kind.

Hiura: 105 wRC+

Yelich: 113 wRC+

Despite what Rock suggested that didn’t look like that crazy of a hop or spin on the ball to Urias. I guess it was difficult in the sense it hit the dirt close to him and he tried to field it as it was rising.

[RollieTime]

How did Nottingham block that pitch in the dirt!? That was impressive.
