And Vogelbach has way too little power for a guy that size. So glad we chose Tellez over him. 

Yup.  Vogy's a character, and he had a few moments for us.  For that I'm sure a lot of Brewer fans will remember him, but ultimately I think Rowdy has a little bit better upside for the next few years, and he has virtually no platoon splits.

These ads... 

seriously. 
 

Does a company really think it’s going to improve its sales by putting the same ad in between every other message?

It’s so annoying, and makes the threads so hard to follow, that I’m more inclined to boycott the sponsor than patronize it.

Renfroe having some really bad luck. We need production out of that spot. Have to hope the tide turns soon for him. Philly is a great spot to start.

I have not been checking into this site much due to the ads.  My fear is that a lot of other posters are the same way, and this site could die a slow and painful death.

[DuWayne Steurer]

If you guys are having issues with ads, Brock is responding to those issues and questions about those problems in the issue and suggestions forum.  Let's try to leave the game thread for jibber jabber about the game.

I’d be a little sad to see Keston  or Brousseau go down. I don’t want to see a pitcher go down under any circumstances. I want to send Jace down, but that’s just not practical. So it must be Huira. I can’t see a pitcher going down because of the DH. They’re going to need more batters covered.

Are we really booing Vogelbach? Like, really?

I'd like to think we're booing Andy Haines. 

[Brewcrew82]

Gott, Boxberger, hader if we don't score again? Don't really wanna see williams unless it's 11-1. 

[Eye Black]

Despite the flyout that was good contact from Yelich. A 100-mph line drive over 350ft (at a 22 degree launch angle) to the opposite field with be an extra base hit more often than not.

Well two pitchers will have to go down May 1st to get down to 13. A position player won't go down until Urias is ready.

There's a start!

Finally

[Eye Black]

That at bat was a good reflection of the Hunter Renfroe experience. He missed a slider by nearly a full foot, and then put the very next pitch, also a slider, into the second deck.

Yep, but that wasn’t luck haha. Smacked that thing well. 

[Sixtolezcano]

Pinch me. I can’t believe what Renfroe just did.

They can't catch it, if it's over the fence!

[Brewcrew82]

Oh god. Devin Williams?! Guess Burnes is going to have to wait a little longer for his first win of the season. 

[HarryDoyle]

Uh oh, Williams is warming up in the pen. This game might be tied soon.

He should be allowed a maximum of two base runners before he gets pulled.

He has to pitch to three batters.

I feel good about Williams tonight. He just has to get ahead and bury the change up. Predicting 2k’s here
