Way to get up off the mat!  Great first inning 

[OldSchoolSnapper]

I'm not piling on or anything and I'm hopeful we can win this series but why is Josh Donaldson on the Brewers?

[Cool Hand Lucroy]

About as good an inning as you can have without a 3-run bomb.

Keep at it, offense.

This is going much better than the two times we faced him in the regular season already. 

And scored one more run than he allowed all year against us.

He had two hits yesterday?

Yes but he is generally awful.

One word: Power. You need it in the postseason.

Also, Monasterio has been awful lately.

[YelichPosse]

I like good Freddy.

[Brewcrew82]

Nice quick inning. 

[kevinisaname]

Great inning, Freddy!

[brewers888]

Personally I like Donaldson and am happy he's on our team.

[Underachiever]

ACE!

I'm fine with it. I'm disappointed that a guy like Donaldson is our best option, but it is what it is.

[Cool Hand Lucroy]

Let's go.

Keep making Gallen work. Santana, Canha, Frelick all putting together good ABs, and then Willy gets aggressive first pitch. Loved that sequence.

[Brewcrew82]

Need a rest? Have some pitch com problems. 

[Cool Hand Lucroy]

If Turang's going to make an out, an 9-pitch one is the best kind.

 

[brewers888]

At least Turang made him throw 9 pitches.

[Underachiever]

Good job extending the at bat, Brice

[Team Canada]

Who cares how this ends, great AB by Turang to drive up the count.

[Brewcrew82]

Concussion. I've had enough to know what that is.

[yourout]

Missing some very hittable fast balls.

[brewers888]

I think its more than fair to question if Turang will ever hit enough. The defense is great but he's got to provide something with the bat.

It’s a great at bay but he’s going to need to figure out a way to speed up his swing.  It’s far too long
