So, does Taylor possibly have a couple more HR's left in him?

Tyrone is in the Zone!

Why not?  Doubt not!  For CF, he's the best we got!

[Robocaller]

walks are bad for Alexander.

The best we got is playing for Nashville right now.

It's good to have faith. Not sure that Stearns warrants it.

Marahfield, WI native Daulton Varsho is putting on a clinic against his childhood team this series.

first one was painless. the second one scored. 

[BruisedCrew]

Adames has to come up with that ball and get one out anyway. 
 

If a Brewer hit that ball and it turned into an out we’d be hearing complaints about exit velocity and bad luck. But some times the defense has to turn hard hit balls into outs when they get the chance. 
 

That could have prevented the run too.

Yes, if you're talking about the rest of his career, or even the rest of the season. 

I was talking about today's game,smart one.

[Robocaller]

Every time Ruiz or Mitchell leads off an inning, I would have them bunt.

The funny thing is, I only know of him due to his central-Wisconsin ties (and his dad, Gary Varsho, for the same reason). But he’s hit 20 HR this season, which is actually pretty good. Of course two of them were in this series, but still.

The Brewers are like the Make-A-Wish Foundation for opposing players.

Ruiz was working on laying down bunts for hits in Nashville for sure. Wouldn’t doubt he tries it at some point

[Robocaller]

Alexander made it through the order twice. Time to pull him, regardless of his pitch count.

EVERY TIME. Until the infield is drawn in

Trivia - Zac Gallen was one of two pitchers likely to finish in the top 10 in the Cy Young vote this year who were packaged together in a trade.  Without looking, who was the other pitcher, what team were they traded from, and who were they traded for?

Surprised no one has taken a stab at thos. I'm guessing it's because the wording.  So is the pitcher someone traded this year?  In the past before this year?  

Where's Drew Rasmussen fit on this answer?

They were traded together to acquire a veteran player. No Drew Rasmussen.

It was in the same trade so the trade was not this year. 

Drew Rasmussen does not fit in this answer.

[RedStickBrew]

Dang. Now it looks like Rowdy will have to hit at least a 3 run bomb in the 9th to keep us in this one

[wibadgers23]

We have absolutely no chance in this one, do we?

We absolutely have a chance. 140 years of baseball history says so.

95 year old Albert Pujols would be our best hitter if he was on the Brewers
