[Underachiever]

Crazy speed on the bases with Tellez and Narvaez

[edfunderburk]

I wouldn’t mind seeing a 3-run HR followed by a little Haderade

Ruined with Brosseau’s appearance.

I’m a huge Tyrone Taylor advocate 

Now would be a good time to prove me right

[Underachiever]

Let’s light this Wick.

[brewers888]

Terrible at bat from Taylor.

[brewers888]

Hopefully there is a good hitting CF on the trade market this season.

[yourout]

Wrong guy up.

[brewers888]

The Jace magic from last season looks to be over.

[adambr2]

Jace Peterson is back to being Jace Peterson.

Turang OR Dahl would be an upgrade from Nashville … Turang could play CF (on occasion) + SS, 3B, 2B … making Peterson expendable & possibly Cain too

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

I'm hoping Urias is back this week. It's time.

[wOOgiE22]

Can’t wait for Urias to come back. Jace has been pretty useless this year.

That’s one of the most elusive profiles in baseball which I think is part of the reason the Brewers have broken their mold to spend on CFs in free agency (Cain, Bradley Jr) and used first round draft picks (Garrett Mitchell, Sal Frelick). The organization appears to value centerfielders very highly.

If Jace isn’t walking at a high clip his offensive value is going to remain fairly limited.

Cf is the only massive need that I can see. Obviously they need a good pen arm or 2 and I believe they will get them. But the crew has to find a reliable bat at CF.

Too bad Mitchell and Frelick are a ways away from helping the team. Cain is a great guy and has had an outstanding career but this team can't afford his bat in the lineup.

Jace may have a couple weeks before he's going to end up being replaced by Turang. Especially with Urias coming back, who's going to be playing pretty much everyday, his value becomes significantly more limited.

I'm in favor of two bats so McCutchen isn't glued to the lineup against righties.

I think the Demons of the Weekend 10 Pack misread the schedule and thought we were going today. 

This was the type of game we saw too often last year, though this one is going faster. 

I can't wait for the pitch clock next season because if a baseball game is going to be bad, at least have the decency to not last long.

This game went through 7 innings quickly. Slowed to a crawl the last two innings.

[brewers888]

If this is the Wong we are going to see all season that option won't be exercised.

[yourout]

Wong off to a poor start this season.

[titletownking]

Our entire lineup minus Rowdy/Adames showed little plate disclipine today. Game was there for the taking. 20 runs scored in 3 games is a very welcome sight to see.  How can you complain about the start of this team? 15-8 and the worst team in baseball coming to town. I still don’t feel like we’re playing anywhere near our best ball, plus our starting third baseman making his season debut. Well deserved off day for the club. Go Crew!

[brewers888]

Wick and Robertson were beyond easy to hit and we just couldn't get it done.
