This is a Brewers baseball message board. Everyone is old enough to get it.

[brewers888]

Luckily we have 8 more innings to get our offense going.

[trwi7]

I have complete and total confidence that our offense can score 4 runs in the next 4 games.

[adambr2]

Who is Dustin Renfroe?

That's a lot of optimism for this offense.

[NBBrewFan]

I prefer the Brewers get their crappy games out early and consecutively so I can enjoy the rest of the season.  So far so good.

[adambr2]

Good effort, Hunter.

[HarryDoyle]

Renfroe with a hot smash up the middle.

It's odd that Brewers pitchers aren't ready, but whomever is pitching against the Brewers seems ready.

That’s because they are pitching against the Brewers offense.

[HarryDoyle]

Great to see the umpires are on top of the important stuff like dress codes.

[trwi7]

This Steele guy legitimately looks like a high school pitcher for Eleva-Strum, so congrats to him on his 6 shutout innings today.

Next at bat he's going to tell him to shave his sideburns.

[Dragonbait]

I havent been able to watch yet... Maybe they're saving their good games for when I can watch?

It's a little known fact that the Brewers are a charter member of the make-a-wish foundation.  Whenever a recipient requests to throw a shutout against a major league team, the Brewers step up to the challenge.

[trwi7]

"Familiaration."  Sophia is on point today too.

[yfinn6]

Better inning, Woody.

I must be too old to get it

Probably too late. Doubt they get 4 runs off of cub pitchers today.

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

May be Woody can petition the league for a mulligan on inning #1?

[yfinn6]

Brosseau should be on 1B after a terrible first pitch strike call.

I miss Luis Urias a lot ... Brosseau is not going to be good ... another Ryan Healy or Brock Holt or Eric Sogard would feel like an improvement ...

He would have been anyway if he hadn't swung at a pitch 8 inches above the zone. 

[NBBrewFan]

I think my fantasy baseball strategy should be to draft hitters through the first 20 rounds then pick up anybody who's pitching against the Brewers off of the waiver wire for pitching.

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

So much for the lefty-mashing lineup.

[Eye Black]

Brewers batters apparently no match against Blue Steele today.
