Hiuera playing LF...seriously??? And Adames still batting 2nd. I've about had it with CC, I don't care how many games he's won. Forget the World Series!!

[BruisedCrew]

Brewers need a big game from Burnes today now that the offense seems to be back in the doldrums. An outfield featuring Hiura in left and Peterson in right is a little frightening too going along with an infield that has been less than airtight.

The Cubs have Contreras and Suzuki on the bench so maybe Burnes can turn in 7 shutout innings.

For some reason I feel we really got to get this one.   Burnes is pitching.    Cardinals are reeling.   Let’s make a move here.

Burnes is capable of shutting down an opponent regardless of who is in/out of the lineup. I'm more concerned about Hiura in LF, although we have a couple starters where you feel you can maybe get away with having him in the OF, and one of them is going today.

This concerned me from the moment we IL'd Taylor & replaced him with a third catcher, not to mention we were going several days with a guy in CF you were going to have to pinch hit for in a close game. Very disjointed roster right now.

July 6 may be a new record for the first "the sky has fallen" post of the year.

Some people are impossible to please....

[Jim French Stepstool]

Is Brosseau available off the bench today? How many pitches did he throw yesterday??

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

Burnes brought his good stuff today it appears.

[Nola Beery]

It's the MLB TV Free Game if the Day. woot

[BruisedCrew]

A free opportunity to see the Brewers offense in full glory. 

[Nola Beery]

I hope we at least score our usual pair of runs.

[Brewcrew82]

Ump trying to help out Sampson....

[Brewcrew82]

And our offense is doing a good job of helping him out, too. 

[BruisedCrew]

For a team that doesn’t get many baserunners the Brewers sure do hit into a lot of DPs. 

[BruisedCrew]

Ump gives Burnes a call there. 

[BruisedCrew]

First RISP for either team today. 

[Nola Beery]

We shoulda saved a few of those 19 runs from the other day.

[Brewcrew82]

Hiura!!!!!

[Nola Beery]

What the heck  is Hiura doing out there!?! Fire CC!!
<irony alert>

[CdrbrgMark]

[Brewcrew82]

Nice job Corbin. Nice job Keston.
