Don’t really like entering the second half of the game up 1-0 against this Reds offense. 

I guess it’s better than entering the second half of the game down 5-0 against the Reds offense.

The Brewers kinda need this game because they have to next play the Reds in that stupid closet they call a baseball park. The Reds offense is particularly terrifying in that place.

That Miller guy at first, I tell ya.

[Brewcrew82]

Great bounce back by Peguero after yesterday.

[edfunderburk]

That was a GREAT defensive pick by Miller at 1B! Credit where credit is due. He looked like Votto on that play! 👏😊🙌

[82brewcrew82]

Way to shake it off Elvis.

I still can’t believe EDLC stole three bases on three pitches 

I’ve never seen anything quite like that before

I waver between the pinstripes and cream but I think I slightly prefer the cream. Both are excellent. 

Cream - by far the best looking jersey

I like the road Gray too

Going to buy a run here

I'll give 20 bucks to a local dog rescue operation for a run.

[82brewcrew82]

1-6 with RISP.

They're really maddening ones are the runner at third with less than 2 out.

It was somewhat bizarre, but the real thing for me was that I’ve never seen a pitcher fall asleep that badly before. 
 

DeLa Cruz stole second. Nothing unusual there. Then he took third on what amounted to defensive indifference. Anderson was way of the bag and he made no attempt to cover and risk opening a hole for the hitter. 
 

On what happened next, at the games we’ve attended, we have often seen runners take leads almost halfway to the plate when the defense is shifted and the third baseman is playing way off the base. The pitcher always keeps an eye on him (which is usually the intent of the runner)  and some times the third baseman will move over to the bag to force the runner back. But here Peguero completely ignored him and Anderson must have been napping too, so with the pitcher’s back to him he took off for home with no chance of being caught.

I get why the national media is gushing over it, but in my book it was much more a boneheaded mistake by the Brewers than brilliant baserunnjng.

Yelich does not seem nearly as fast as our announcers are always saying. He's a GREAT baserunner, but that looked like it should have been a lot closer of a play at first, especially given what Turang just did on a ground ball to second.

I'm not complaining. Just wondering what the heck Rock and BA keep talking about.

[Underachiever]

This game feels like both teams want to get to the asb.

[Underachiever]

DLC, Steer, Votto in the ninth will test the hypothesis in my previous post.

I agree 

I was embarrassed to be a Brewers fan 

That was Little League - maybe T-ball cringe worthy … like a cute little kid running to third base from home plate 

That lack of on field awareness is unforgivable at the MLB level

MUS PLATE RUNS HERE

[82brewcrew82]

1-7 with RISP.

[edfunderburk]

Winker needs to go at the break

DFA this evening would be ideal 

[HarryDoyle]

Two men in scoring position with no outs. Was there any doubt they would come up empty after the Winker pop up?

[Underachiever]

This team and double plays…

[LaprilOne]

That, hurt

[82brewcrew82]

1-8 with RISP including 2 consecutive innings ended with a GIDP with a runner on third with less than two outs.
