Do the Red Sox implant a device into their players so when they go to another team they become the worst hitters in baseball?

Jackie Renfroe Jr has sure made quite the early impression.

[brewers888]

Do we really need Freddy Peralta throwing 90 pitches in 3 innings. 

[NBBrewFan]

If they don't plan for 4+ innings from the bullpen on a typical Peralta start then they haven't watched him pitch.  

[brewers888]

Urena can throw 100 pitches tonight and save the rest of the bullpen.  

[NBBrewFan]

Good to see the Brewers have some fight in them.

[Eye Black]

The Angels Joe Maddon intentionally walked Corey Seager with the bases loaded despite the fact his team was down by just one run (3-2) before walking Seager to make it 4-2. 

The Rangers scored two more runs in the inning to make it 6-2.

[brewers888]

Can they at least make Mikolas throw some pitches.

[NBBrewFan]

I've been rooting for Rowdy since we acquired him and right now he's the best hitter we got and is making the rest of the team look bad.  Hope he can keep it up.  Hope the rest of the team figures it out.

[Cool Hand Lucroy]

For some reason I thought this would happen yesterday.

Oh well. Get some arms a chance to show something, and let's get a few ABs for back-of-lineup guys. To orrow is another day.

[brewers888]

This would be the 3rd time shutout in the first 8 games. No this lineup is not nearly good enough.

[magnoliacrew]

I'm old enough to remember when Mikolas meant we'd have a good night batting.

[brewers888]

At least we avoided the shutout. We are very fortunate to be 4-4 after tonight when we have been terrible in pretty much every aspect of the game.

Yelich is straight up trash.

Yeah, in some ways, I feel better knowing we weathered a stretch of terrible baseball and went 4-4. Good teams steal wins where they can.

On the other hand, 6 of those games were against the Cubs and Orioles, so...?

Baseball. Small sample. Etc.

[HarryDoyle]

I admire the effort but was it really necessary in the ninth inning of a 10-1 game?

[HarryDoyle]

Put in a position player to finish this one.

The current score of the game kind of makes me respect him even more for that.

That's fine but he could've put himself out of action with a stint on the IL. Not really worth it.

[Joseph Zarr]

Looks at the Box. Hangs head in shame. ?

[TURBO]

gross game.

Yeah, I get it. It's not a smart move in the big picture, true. But he's not thinking big picture in the moment, so that's just pure reaction on competitive nature which I can respect.

[adambr2]

Corbin may win another Cy Young but he may not be besting Mike Brosseau in the ERA race. 

[hawing]

An older fan in the section next to us started off the game by responding to every instance of bat/ball conduct with “There it is.” Not much emotion, and he wasn’t wearing either red or blue, so I couldn’t tell who he was rooting for…until Rowdy batted.  Then he got really animated and yelled at Miles Mikolas to STRIKE THIS GUY OUT, calling the first ball on him BS, etc. 

During a game that brought few highlights, I took no small pleasure at seeing Rowdy get under this guy’s skin.

In lighter news been awhile since I’ve been to a game, going tomorrow. Anybody got any food/drink recommendations at the stadium? All is appreciated! Go Crew!
