The way the Brewers are going, TBD for the Marlin’s pitcher stands for “To Be Dominant”. I prefer TBA or “To Be Average”, but with this offense that still means they’re overmatched.

[TURBO]

The real questiion is this:

 

Will TBD throw a no hitter today?

Manny Piña is back from the 10-day injured list.

 

The Brewers placed Brent Suter on bereavement list.

In their game notes, Brewers list Brett Anderson as probable starter for Sunday.

My work blocks twitter and just linking twitter with no idea what I am clicking on is kind of annoying IMHO.

Corbin Burnes will be activated at some point next week, Counsell said. Burnes will throw a BP session in Milwaukee Monday.

Today's the day the streak ends. Love seeing Pina back there. I know he's only 5 WAR by bref (about 1 WAR a year), but I think that's underselling him. And, even if not, he's as solid as a catcher gets defensively. The kind of backup catcher that makes people get Romantic about backup catchers. I know at least person around here who agrees...

Glove Gate to start the evening

[RollieTime]

Couldn’t tell if it was a foreign substance or just discoloration. It’ll be interesting to see what comes of it. You would think it has to be more than discoloration otherwise he wouldn’t be asked to get a different glove.

[RollieTime]

*sigh*

[markedman5]

Guess we can’t say “ Cain would have caught that” this time……

[adambr2]

We're bound to be leading in a game at some point again this season, I think.

[adambr2]

McKinney falls into the Travis Shaw category this year of not good, but less terrible than most of the lineup so generally ignored.

Pablo Reyes:

 

*watch off speed down the middle*

*watch off speed down the middle*

*swing off speed 6 inches off the plate*

 

Gee golly mister, I wonder why we can’t score!

[willie key]

17-145

[RollieTime]

Urias is going to be a good one.

[adambr2]

We're winning!

[adambr2]

May as well unload the pen to protect any lead that we have after 5 today. They could all use the work.

[folly412]

The baseball gods owe us a few slams after this week.

[adambr2]

I realize all of our 1B options are terrible but you might as well get Nottingham some starts there. McKinney ain't it.

I was going to make a similar comment, but wisely looked up his recent stats.

 

Last 7 days:

 

4 BBs

SB

.400 OBP

.775 OPS

 

He ain’t the long term answer...but, I will take that for a week.

Can Houser play first?
