[mtsportsfan]

Wow , look at this , string hits together and then bam Willy hits a shot . oh yeah baby!

[yourout]

Hokie smokes.

It's an explosion.

[treego14]

This offense is too much!

[folly412]

Get everyone on the team contact lenses that changes their opponent's uniform to Pirates colors.

[mtsportsfan]

Yelich is a killjoy ! Nice inning. I'm not going to say it but hope its.  

[willie key]

I never ever ever ever want to leave this division as long as the pirates are still in it

[treego14]

Former MVP's are the only ones hitless in this game for the Brew Crew!

I mean, I was on Channel 12 news at the time - interviewed as a fifth grader in an absurdly ugly Bugle Boy sweatshirt with ugky khakis (thanks Mom) - and wrote him a personal letter ?. I nearly had a crisis.

 

Anyhow, enjoy the game!

I feel like by 5th grade you kind of get some say in what you wear, so it's kind of on you too.

[BruisedCrew]

That outburst will add about a half a run to the team’s RPG.

Now to make the night complete we need to see the bullpen coast home and give Williams and Hader another day off.

I mean, I think what is fair to say is: I've always sucked at fashion and I still do. AND, that was probably an unfair poke at my mom. BUT, what really still gets me, is the white turtleneck under the ugly as heck shirt. I mean, you can't let your son go to school, let alone, make a TV appearance in that...can you? I don't know. There are discussions to be had. Shame to be felt.?

Pretty big deal right here.... the big outburst will give the pen a (hopefully) an easy night to roll through the back end of the game and (again.... hopefully) let whoever closes the last few innings out just go out there and throw strikes and not worry about nibbling in a one or two run game.

Finally! 10 runs … timely hits … a red-hot hitter … in game #18

Before tonight - Milwaukee had given up 60 runs in 17 games  (19 of those in 2 games)

Pitching - for the most part - has been solid

Here’s hoping the offense is beginning to turn things around

I’m still concerned with Yelich & Cain

I’d like to see Dahl get some time in the OF

[willie key]

Nice to see wong get on base three times tonight     He needs to be a spark 

 

im not watching.   Is yelich just lost at the plate?   I mean this is beyond concerning now

I believe you should talk to Rafael Penguin.

We all want to see Yelich earn his salary … but in my opinion - he looks lost … rolling over & producing easy groundouts time & again … hitting in .180 range

[treego14]

I think the knee injury has ruined Yelich's stride into the ball on his swing ... could be wrong, but it seems to be too coincidental that he is a shell of himself after that foul ball off his knee in Miami late in the 2019 season.

Or Yu Darvish calling him out.

Hmmm ... I don't remember this ... what is this about?

[Brewcrew82]

My litmus test for keeping a lower leverage reliever is whether they can be counted on to hold a 5+ run lead without involving the "A" bullpen. Urena has failed in that regard and thus he ought to be DFA'd. And this is against a AAA lineup,,,,

[wOOgiE22]

Nice to see the bullpen blow a big lead and potentially have to burn Hader

[SomewhereInTime]

Today is an example of the downside of a ridiculous ten man bullpen.  You have guys like Millner and Urena who should not be on the roster and won't pitch very often unless Counsell forces them into a game like today.  Because of it, they might have to use Hader to save the game on a day when he shouldn't have to pitch.

[edfunderburk]

Uh Oh … 10-7 … not over yet

Hopefully, Adames can blast another HR

Darvish accused Yelich of stealing signs.  

I don't know, seems Yelich could know what's coming and would still ground it to first.

[Brewcrew82]

Ughhhh Hader. Thanks a lot Milner and Urena.
