HORRIBLE send by the new windmill!

I'm surprised Rowdy didn't just stop and tell him to screw off.

Even if the catcher doesn't drop it, he might've gotten a foot in there.  You have to take chances in this game sometimes.

That was a fun win.  Fingers crossed for Burnes.  Love what this team is bringing every day.  Go Brew Crew!

Counsell's post game remarks are coming shortly with our first update on Burnesy

Minor pec strain. Could make his next start, per CC.

About best news you could hope for. Fine if he has to miss a start or two. We just can’t afford for him to miss extended time with Woody out.

I'd be surprised if he made his next start.  How close is a pec strain from a pec tear? The tear is a 2+month injury if not more I believe in sports.  Would hate to have him go out to make his next start go less than 2IP and be put on the shelf with the injury worsened.

Just going to need to understand were short on SP and try their best from auto losing every 5th day. Up 5Games on Cards now 6-9 or 7-8 over next 15games will still keep the team at least 2 games within St Louis.

Nice to see the Brewers win in person for the first time in a long time. Fortunately I only have to wait 4 months to see them again in Milwaukee later this year :) :)

Was it risky to send Tellez? IMO no because you had a 3 run lead & there were two outs. Certainly he was throwoutable there with Kelenic winding it up but you have to force them to make a play. They couldn't. Plus, when you look at the replay Tellez was jogging to 3B, then turned it on when the SS whiffed. If he runs hard from the start he might make it even w/o the drop.

Even if Burnes is pronounced good to go, I suspect they push him back.

I didn't know that this stadium wasn't fully closed. There are no windows in the outfield. Just the field is over. It was a cold night there you could see there breath. I wonder why they don't have outfield panels that open and close like we have.

I'm a bit scared to look at Mitchell's whiff rate in the upper-third and above the zone. Feel like it's potentially Hiura level.

Up and in the outer third, he's whiffed every time this year, But the other two upper zones are 25% and 0% whiff rates.

Also I'd 100% take Keston Hiura with Mitchell's defense any day

Wait and see. This is coming from the same source that told us Woodruff would have a minimum stay on the IL. 
 

If Burnes goes on the IL and can be ready to pitch when the 15 days are up, I’ll consider that a win.

The Mariners use their roof the least out of any team with a retractable roof. Only 10 games per year on average with the roof closed. 

That said, it was freezing in there last night.

I mean out of all active big league franchises they definitely are 30th in overall success.  I imagine they don't really have much of a fanbase but I guess I have no idea.

The bandwagon has been building with their recent success and attendance is up quite a bit this year. Weeknights in April are just not a big draw and the crappy spring weather this year isn't helping.
