Wonder if Mitchell will evolve into a decent MLB leadoff hitter?

Frelick is the one who'll be the leadoff hitter imo.

What amateur league are the Reds getting these players?

[Robocaller]

Brosseau, Mitchell, and Reyes have the best averages for the brewers this season (.268, 267, 267)

Yeah, ok. But do you even remember the 90’s?  How I grew up through that and didn’t give up on the franchise entirely is a minor miracle to me.  That’s why I won’t go that far.

I do remember the 90s.    The brewers were terrible but life was better.    I’d go back in a second

Fair enough, my friend. I’m wishing you better days.

Gibaut looks like he came straight from the Hamilton County Penal League.

Phillies up 9-0 late ...

Padres up 2-1 early ...

Did he throw at his own kid in a father-son game?

[Brewcrew82]

Rowdy is another guy who is ice-cold at the plate.

Yes, but the court mandated paternity test results weren't in until after the game.

A very typical 2 for 12 with RISP or this would be a route.

I'd rather roll it back to the late 70s/early 80s.

I could run like the wind, the music was great, decent beer was cheap and plentiful and best of all....tube tops!

This doesn’t really rhyme.     Unless you are a modern day rappers who are beyond terrible

Well.   Early 80s the brewers were good

They bat .241 as a team, so you'd expect them to bat less than 3 for 12 (.250). It (2-12) is probably their median for that many at bats.

[willie key]

I’m assuming Rogers is in the Trevor Kelly role for the rest of the year.

Indeed... I was just out of high school in 82 and went to a few games that year. Remember watching Gorman Thomas and Ben oglvie going back to back with one of them being Grand slam at one game.

[wiguy94]

That's a double play with a good 3B. Urias showing no range there.

The 78 and 79 Brewers were two of the franchise’s best and most entertaining  teams in an era when half of the teams in the league weren’t tanking. They won 93 and 95 games.

Unfortunately they only allowed one team from each division into the playoffs and the Orioles, Red Sox, Yankees, and Tigers all had good teams too. 

[Brewcrew82]

WHAT WAS THAT WONG?!

[yfinn6]

So it begins..

If they homered back to back, obviously the first one was the slam.

That's happened way too often this year.

Get your feet on the ground and it's probably a double play anyways.

Freakin' step and throw, Wong. Good god.
