For some reason, I thought Cole was really struggling this year but when you look at his numbers that’s obviously not the case. Maybe he struggled early in the year?

[willie key]

This would be the most unlikely sweep of the year if they pull this off

i felt we were in trouble when the cards swept the Yankees awhile ago.  Maybe we can turn the tables on the Padres if we win today

[igor67]

Cole isn't a left so that helps our chances of a 10-8 win.

[RedStickBrew]

Well the Hiura supporters will like todays line up.  No Peterson or Mitchell against the righty though.  Go Crew!

During this playoff chasin', we need something from Jason!

Cole has his role, BUT the Brewers are on a roll!

I feel a blueprint something like hoping Alexander keeps you in it, then going to Suter & hoping that combo covers 5-6 innings. If they do that & come away tied or leading at that point that's all you can hope for.

Don't like Mitchell & Peterson sitting.

Garrett Mitchell this month has an OPS of .507, while Tyrone Taylor has an OPS of 1.026....

Taylor has actually been quite a bit better against RHP than LHP this season.

[RedStickBrew]

I would guess Mitchell sitting has more to do with the fact that he is a rookie who has flat been overmatched against some of the better pitchers he's faced, than a straight righty v lefty match up thing.  Cole is one of the best.

[Brewcrew82]

Playing with house money today.

Crew has several guys with reverse splits.

Is that unusual?

By definition, yes...

Beautiful end to the inning 

[jason21nl]

Boom!

[wibadgers23]

Wow!

[Brewcrew82]

Nice job Wong. But gonna need more...lol

[HarryDoyle]

Oh those bases on balls.

[treego14]

Wong can hit ‘em long!

[Brewcrew82]

That was the meatiest of meatballs, Alexander.

I don't mind giving up 1st pitch dingers to Oswaldo Cabrera with a 3 run lead. Bothers me less than a 9 pitch walk to a guy like that with a 3 run lead. Although I'd rather it was hit off a fastball rather than a hanging changeup.
