Laars Nootbaar sounds like a weird Swedish candy bar with hazelnuts and dried prunes in it.

And this is the face you make when it passes through your system.

OMG, I almost choked on my coffee when I saw this, some came out my nose.  That is too funny!!!

I found Kinder Bueno Milk Chocolate and Hazelnut Cream Candy Bar's on Amazon a few months ago.  My wife wants to cancel my Amazon account to stop me from ordering them.  I keep encouraging her to go visit the grand-baby so I can secure a stash while she is gone because she intercepts all the Amazon orders at the door.  I'm going to try an Amazon pickup location next.  Where you going dear? "Oh, uh, I'm going to get gas for the car, yeah, that's where I'm going". Why don't we just get it from Costco when we go tomorrow? "uh, Costco closed.  Went out of business. we need a new place".  What? Costco isn't out of business, WHERE ARE YOU GOING?. "Nowhere dear".

O' Neill used every bit of those steroid fueled biceps to muscle that ball for a double.

throw strikes Freddy

Freddy’s 1st inning struggles with command continue.

This crap drives me insane

[HarryDoyle]

This really looked like this would be a quick inning after recording two outs on four pitches, but we got to keep with our tradition of throwing at least 20 pitches in the first inning.

Here it comes

[Fear The Chorizo]

frustrating that the Brewer starters apparently aren't ready with command to start this season - I get that they had a shortened spring training this year, but this isn't 50 years ago where they don't pick up a baseball until they report.

[phnxcrew]

Oh, it’s bader delivering the hit.  I think we enjoy padding his stats so he can stay in the majors at this point.

[jason21nl]

Absolute garbage 

[BruisedCrew]

This one got ugly in a hurry. 

[markedman5]

Well done Freddy 

[edfunderburk]

Rats … another poor start … why can’t our starters “start” with goose eggs in the first inning? That may work against the Cubs & Orioles - it won’t end well against a strong offensive team like STL. Get it together, Brewers!

[Sixtolezcano]

Can Freddy be sent down to AAA to work on his control?

[HarryDoyle]

Ridiculous

[Eye Black]

Freddy has zero feel for his off speed pitches and hasn’t been locating his fastball in the upper third of the zone. Unless that changes quickly he won’t be long for this game.

[edfunderburk]

Well … this one is over 

No way the Brewers rally to overcome a 4-0 deficit against this team

And - yes - I hope this post ages poorly

I really wanted to watch a good game tonight - what a disaster

Peralta just looks rough so far. I hope the brewers find out a little more about what it takes these guys to get game ready come spring training. All five starters with a rough 1st start and Freddy with back to back stinkers.

Yeah, you don't win very many games spotting the opposition 4 runs right out of the gate.

Same here, finally got to watch the whole game and then this happens.

It is just his usual 1st inning overly amped up Freddy.  Nearly every start is like this for him.  The 1st inning he flies through easily and then all of a sudden he gets to amped up and it kills him.

Is this some kind of joke?
