Tonight’s game is televised on FOX.

I’ll be traveling most of today, so if someone can post the lineups when they’re available it would be appreciated.

[Pugger]

Someone more computer savvy than me will have to post the lineups.  I just hope the Crew's record on nationally televised games does not continue.

Okay. Let's just totally reset after last night's debacle. Basically, all it means is that we have now gifted a game to another team in the 9th inning after the Padres previously did the same for us earlier in the season. 

Hopefully, Hader's all-star break started after the game last night. He needs the next week to get away from pitching and reset with his family. In the meantime, we can get by with Devin closing and Boxberger/Gott/Milner/Gustave setting him up.

Win one of the next two games, and I'll be content. This will be a second half team with guys like Freddy returning from injury, positive regression from Adames, Tellez, etc. and potential trade upgrades.

That, and figure out w/Chris Hook what was tipping his pitches. I agree with the theory that he's affected by all the family stuff. But the 2nd HR he allowed yesterday came on a changeup. Considering how seldom he throws it, it's hard to believe it would be hit that well. Swing-and-miss, yeah. Miss the plate badly, yeah. But a HR? I think it's time for an adjustment, mechanically as well as emotionally.

I agree we have people who can cover the 7th-8th if need be.

Would love to know the thought process behind Renfroe hitting behind both Wong & Peterson.

Let us hope so.  I'm glad I did not stay up for that..."thing"...  last night.  I checked the score when something woke me up briefly in the wee small hours, but this morning I figured I must have only dreamed that Hader gave up 3 (THREE!) HRs including a walk-off Grand Slam.  Alas, it was real.  GAHHH!  Still unbelievable.  But that's baseball: sometimes you win incredibly; sometimes you lose incredibly.    Let's win tonight.

We all know CC doesn't think logically when it comes to Peterson. He's got a weird obsession with utility players.

The guy has been our most valuable position player this season. And his defense at third has been right there with Arenado…

[Jim French Stepstool]

I actually like Peterson, and with the season Wong is having (and him) I don't really mind him playing as often as he is. Just don't get both of them hitting ahead of Renfroe.

Me too...using a Wisconsin login. Baseball is bad at television.

Had to get the antenna working for this one.  Glad to see a game while I wait for Bally to get Roku sorted.

Not on Bally either

[DuWayne Steurer]

Yeesh, make that catch.

We cancelled the DirecTV.  Until Ballys get their app worked out, these odd games are the ones I can see.  

It's ok, in 2020 I discovered there's other things besides baseball happening in the summer, haha

[BruisedCrew]

Cobb should be able to go 11 tonight. 
2 hits for the Brewers in their last 8 innings. 
 

 

[brewers888]

McCitchen at .259 has the highest batting average in tonights lineup. Sorry but thats not a winning lineup.

45 pitches through 4 innings. 

[willie key]

It’s only a matter of time before lauer gives up multiple runs

 

we need to start scoring.

They put up 5 last night. Should have been more than enough.

[brewers888]

Lauer is certainly doing his job so far.

[Ulice Payne]

I remember wanting Milwaukee to sign Cobb.  Glad they didn't, but he's looking good so far tonight.

Yeah.   Who knows anymore.    This team really can’t rely on anything except for burnes and it’s not like they win 90% of those games either 

 

it might get ugly for this team     I wonder if hader lost a bunch of trade value

 

this is the first time is advocate for this since I was hoping this was going to be a good season      It might be a good idea to trade hader if we can get a bunch of value for him
