That Adames ball looked foul to me

If we did go and get Reynolds, it's worth noting that he's not a very good defender in CF....

Yeah, we got a break there!  Good eyes, ump!  Is that the same ump who said Yelich swung yesterday in the 9th inning when he didn't?

It was too dark for me to tell. 
That was probably one where the call on the field decided it. 
Brewers might have gotten a break. 

[Brewcrew82]

With how Quintana has been throwing the ball lately (he shut down the Yankees in his last start), this was a pretty good performance by the offense. Now, time to take it to the Pirates bullpen.

No, it is not the worst. Padres, Rays, etc. 

I’ll trade lineups with the Padres but you are right about Tampa if you consider them a contender.

The stats say the Padres are worse. All of them. They have Machado and that's it (for now).

That would require Chourio being in the deal and that’s a definite no from the Brewers.

If the prospect of Tatis returning comes along with the Padres offense I would take them too.

He has more potential to be a difference maker than Renfroe or Taylor.

They play in a pitchers park compared to miller

but they could still be bad.

Not necessarily. Wiemer and Frelick would get them close. I'd consider that. 

[willie key]

I don’t know if we are going to get last year or early season lauer back

he just doesn’t look good out there

You don't like his last start or today's start? Cause I do....3.83 ERA from your #4 starter is exactly what you want.

It sounded foul on the radio.

I would be okay with Wiemer & Mitchell & maybe Antione Kelly … I’d like to avoid losing Chourio & Frelick & Small

Advanced stats like WRC+ literally take ballparks into account. The Brewers' WRC+ is 104, which is slightly above league average, while the Padres WRC+ is 98, which is slightly below league average. 

[Brewcrew82]

Ughhh. Why did we ever install that short porch..

[Nola Beery]

That homer was .... disappointing.

This team is disappointing 

[willie key]

That was huge for Pittsburgh.   It’s very hard for us to get five runs in a game

huge advantage from here on out for the pirates.   

[mtrebs]

We’re going to lose this series too, aren’t we? Disappointing to play so poorly against these teams that we should be taking the series against. 

[jason21nl]

So lucky to be playing in a crap division because this team just is just blah

[willie key]

If the season started today and everyone was 0-0.    I don’t know who id bet on to win the division 

 

thank god April and may happened

[treego14]
