I feel you. There's so many games I've watch that we lost badly that I understand why we all need to see these flex games to understand how wild the swings that go on in a season.

Same. I'm thankfully in a position where I don't have kids, and my school/work schedule allows me to watch most every game. Who knows how much longer that will be the case...Now, it's up to the Brewers to let me enjoy my prime years!

Peterson,Tellez, almost anyone else as far as I'm concerned.

This is why it was a toss up. I'm for Hiura against RHP. Toronto only has 2 LHP. It was a matter of time until Hiura hit against RHP.

True. What makes his situation so frustrating cause he has the hands and bat speed. I almost wonder if a trip to the optometrist wouldn't do him wonders after reading about JBJ. But I'm also pretty sure a lot of it is his swing plane, too.

Anything better than the Yankees being no-hit?  

Yankee fans are insufferable so it is enjoyable whenever they lose.

JBJ astigmatism issue is wild. I don't know how to process that after growing up on "Wild Thing" Rick Vaughn.

Some big-time pitches from Corbin there....

Burns truly is something else.  We are lucky to have him.

I don't get it.  Of any sport, baseball relies so much on eye/hand coordination.  With the hundreds of millions they spend on player payroll you would think teams would have them seeing optometrists 1/2 times a year just to make sure their eyesight is as close to perfect as possible.

I hope Counsell and Stearns got everybody's eyes checked after that story came out.

Who knows, but maybe some of Yelich's struggles are because he can't see the pitch tipoffs anymore!

Darvish  says hello 

[willie key]

We might want to score some more runs

[folly412]

Does anyone actually look at the Northwoods League scores they always have running during the games? 

Is someone here like "Oh good, Northwoods League scores! Let's see how my Fon Du Lac Dock Spiders are doing!"

 

[mtsportsfan]

2 bad strikes that at bat . robo

[edfunderburk]

I’d like a few more runs 

Hopefully Burnes can go 7+

Yeah, when was the last time a Brewers starter threw a pitch in the 8th inning?

If Burnes can get through the 7th efficiently he could do it today. 

[BruisedCrew]

Nice play by Urias to get that first out of the 7th.

[mtsportsfan]

Would love to see it . only 86 pitches in the seventh with  two outs! Looking good for eight

[BruisedCrew]

Nice efficient inning there. 
 

No reason not to let Burnes start the 8th. 
 

Caratini was a little nonchalant on that third strike. 

[magnoliacrew]

I'm good with either Box or Williams next.

[Brewcrew82]

Not sure about letting Burnes go back out there for the 4th time through the order for the Blue Jays, especially when you have the Williams and Hader combo sitting there with an off day on Monday.....I wouldn't criticize Counsell if that's the direction he went, though. 

[mtsportsfan]

Don't think its a mistake either way he decides to do it .  until it back fires lol !

[Brewcrew82]

Anybody at the game see Williams warming up? Wish Bally Sports had a bullpen camera...
