Finally making it to a game this year with the family. Hoping to see win #8 in a row.

Gonna try running the bases after the game for the kids. I know you gotta start lining up before the game ends but any other advice?

Do some stretches before running!

It defies logic that the Padres are this bad.   They have the given up the least amount of runs in national league and with that lineup they have there is no way they should be 8 games under.

It's crazy. The Padres were all in constructing this team.  We sometimes complain from time to time about the Crew, but things could be a lot worse!

Yeah next time someone complains about the Brewers lack of spending, all you’ll have to do is look back at the 2023 Padres and Mets.

I don’t even know if I would fault the padres.   The numbers say they should be winning.      Sometimes teams just lose.   Next year they could be really good again

Let’s go brew crew. Ashby throwing BP and if it goes well begins his rehab with the rattlers.

Don’t forget the Yankees, shelled out $520M for Judge and Rodon just to have their worst season in 30 years.

Of the 19 teams with a higher OD payroll than the Brewers on Cot’s, only 5 have a better record.

The Phillies (+$124M) and Blue Jays (+$91M) have needed to spend considerably more than the Brewers just to keep pace.

The Mets (+$212M), Yankees (+$159M), Padres (+$130M), Angels (+$93M), White Sox (+$62M), Cardinals (+$58M) and even the Rockies (+53M) outspent the Brewers by fifty to two hundred plus million on opening day and won’t even be cracking .500.

Too bad they weren't able to turn two on either of those. 

[Brewcrew82]

I love Wild Bill.

Looks like he's fine. 

[YelichPosse]

Well we got bad Houser today. Gotta score some runs! 

[Jake McKibbin]

Bad Houser today... He's either lights out or a buffet of runs

[boomboomzols]

Hang in there might be 6-4 quick too - finally feel we aren’t out automatically the way they are hitting 

[Brewcrew82]

They'd never do it, but I wouldn't mind trying Gasser over Houser.
