Let's defy the odds AND beat these clods!

Wild Card or bust ... anything in the way turns to dust!

[hawing]

I'm trying to remind myself that games aren't played on paper and attending tonight's game doesn't necessarily doom us to having to watch the team I hate the most celebrate on our field.  ?

[wibadgers23]

Go Cubs I guess? Gross.

Cubs swept the Mets not too long ago. Maybe they can help us out against the Phillies?

I wonder how we would feel if the Brewers helped the Cardinals make it into the playoffs?

We as fans wouldn't like it but the players are just trying to win every game.

McCalvy has a story on the Brewers' official page about how the Brewers have nothing but respect for Molina and Pujols.

Eff that.

Seriously eff that idea. Two of the main proponents of the hypocritical "doing things the right way" crowd.

Yikes.  That was a bad route

Yeah that was a hard hit ball but he overran it a bit. Looked like he was closing with ease. 

[HarryDoyle]

Does Houser have an ERA of infinity in the first inning?

Unfortunately the stupid Cards will make the playoffs unless they lose out.  It would be fun to get that wild card spot but even if we do we won't do much in the postseason if we keep screwing up like this against good teams.

What do Stearns and CC see in Houser?

that he can repeat what he did last year, or even improve upon it.

 

[Pugger]

Sigh

[yfinn6]

Now would be a nice time for Yelich to actually be anything other than an automatic out. 

[Robocaller]

wait a second. Hiura can start a game on a Tuesday? So how soon before Cutch PHs for him?

[NBBrewFan]

If Houser can keep avoiding the strike zone and still getting  strikeouts anyways he should be successful tonight.

What is everyone's favorite stat to use for evaluating hitters?

I'm leaning more towards OPS but don't know enough about the other advanced metrics.

[yourout]

With the changes in swing paths sinker ballers are a bit of a dinosaur now.

Hitters are geared for balls at the bottom of the zone.
