After 2 tough late losses, a win today might at least get some of us off suicide watch.

[Pugger]

I wonder what crazy thing will happen today for the Crew to find another way to lose...?

Hard to believe that a win today earns a split in the series. 

[CdrbrgMark]

Looking at today's lineup batting stats against Webb looks mighty dismal. Gonna take a miracle to pull this one off. So ok, let's make it happen!!!

[rickh150]

Well, we are in first place by ourselves tomorrow regardless of today’s outcome… Cards game postponed.

Bullheaded CC has EXACT same lineup as yesterday. Wong still batting 5th. No more comments from me about CC today.....maybe, but I doubt it.

Thx for posting this.

Devin Williams added to NL Allstar game. Congrats to him!!

[Brewcrew82]

There's a good start. 

[Brewcrew82]

Sheesh. last three hitters absolutely crushed the ball. Everything 108 MPH and above. Hopefully that continues. 

[Brewcrew82]

Good god Wong.

[trwi7]

Only 70ish games left of Wong.  Just awful.

[Simba2020]

Boy am I so done with Wong. Wong is so Wrong.

Do we have to keep Wong for the rest of the season? Are there no options to at least get him off the MLB roster?

We don't have to but we probably will.

I think the Brewers need to go in rebuild mode IF they are unwilling to pay some money for 2 big bats!

Being an above average team in a mediocre division will never lead to a World Series.

[treego14]

Ashby has great stuff with terrible location ... he throws too many slow pitches for a guy with a great arm, too ... that slow stuff is way too hittable.

[SomewhereInTime]

What happened to Ashby?  I'm just tuning in.

Simply used as an opener.

[BigDaddy1974]

Trade Wong at the deadline for a bag of balls.

What a trickster CC is

 

We are just so bad

[BruisedCrew]

Brewers might have gotten a break on that call at third. A safe call probably wouldn’t have been overturned.
