Anyone know the Brewers’ record vs pitchers named after famous explorers?

[Eye Black]

If Burnes can be perfect through at least 7 tonight I really like their chances.

[markedman5]

We won that first game despite going up against a guy who has been historically good

Cristobal Colon is the Spanish name of Christoper Colombus. I don't know if the ages check out, but I've always had a hunch that Big Bartolo is related.

[brewers888]

That was a very hittable fastball that Garcia swung through.

[Oxy]

I'm sure we've faced Hudson...and probably a Cortez or two. And a Drake.

[brewers888]

I think we can forget about Yelich getting it together this season. Hopefully its the knee and he gets back to being a great player again next season.

Probably a Lewis and a Clark as well...

[yfinn6]

Wow that was a LOW strike 3 on Carpenter but I'll take it.

[adambr2]

And a Danny Boone..

Maybe just put Yelich back in RF? Make life normal for him and keep him in the same spot. Seems odd but it might be worth it to try something like that...

Burnes is nasty

Yelich far prefers left field and with his throwing arm its where he should be playing.

[adambr2]

Yeah, Yelich is a better left fielder than right fielder. It's his natural position. Which corner he is fielding in is not the reason he isn't hitting.

[Eye Black]

Having 5 of the first 6 hitters strikeout isn’t an ideal start.

[brewers888]

Another solid start for the offense with five strikeouts and no hits through two innings.

[LouisEly]

The Brewers' hitters look like they have absolutely no clue what to expect.

[yourout]

Another solid start for the offense with five strikeouts and no hits through two innings.

 

Worse than a broken record.

Back in the day the needle would at least occasionally jump forward and not repeat.

Can't say that about the Brewer offense.

[adambr2]

Maybe Andy Haines can go on another one of his angry tirades because that's the only thing he's done that has seemed to elicit any positive results whatsoever this year from his hitters.

[LouisEly]

Everything with Burnes is low. He needs to change their eye level with some high strikes. Pull out the four seamer.

[adambr2]

You might as well just flip a coin and guess what this umpire will call on a low borderline pitch.
