It's awesome to have Ortiz around for many more years

Brewers will rock him today like they did one time last season!

By the 4th inning, we will be breezin'!

I meant the 5th inning!

 And that's why you don't have him bunt.  Also why he should not be hitting in the bottom third routinely.

More bunting. Ugh

That's why bunting that guy is ridiculous. 

[Bulldogboy]

Chourio starts it with another walk. Love his new approach.

Also, how long is the leash on Hoskins before the fans at the field turn on him?

I'm getting there. 

Great guy but I don't think there's much left in the gas tank.

[Bulldogboy]

Score runs walk the leadoff guy. Get the bullpen busy.

[Frisbee Slider]

Prior to the home run, Joey Ortiz had 1.8 wins above replacement level this season. Corbin Burnes has 2.

Everyone chooses to be offended. It's sad that having Snoop Dogg in the booth is ruffling feathers. I am guessing Willie Nelson would have been better for some of you.

That's an overstatement.  No feathers are being ruffled.

In keeping with the stoner pot-head theme, I think Willy Nelson in the booth would have been ridiculous too.

I think you are wrong when it comes to being offended.  I don't think it's a choice, I think it comes deep from within, and not a choice.  If you are choosing the things that offend you, then are you really offended at all?  I mean, I realize there are those that look for things to be offended by, that is just the way of the current world.

I've seen little evidence he is capable of carrying a team since the knee injury that allowed us to sign him in the first place.

Meanwhile you're cheering a team named after alcohol.

We are getting the benefit of JC playing almost on the track

He's not too positive with respecting women and police in his songs, unfortunately.  Hopefully, he's a changed man or will be.

Who are some musicians that you like?

I'm guessing Rage Against the Machine isn't high on the list.

Yikes Rhys

[Underachiever]

Hoskins just looks so bad.

[Bulldogboy]

Rhys is making me want more Bauers and that's a statement.

So we got the short end of the trade.

What's odd is that he is struggling mostly against left-handed pitching. Not really striking out too much against them, just a lot of pop-ups on the fast ball and ground balls on the offspeed stuff.

[yourout]

Tough inning by Farmer.

Painting with movement.

A couple of hitters that are going egregiously bad right now.

When I become an mlb manager, one thing I’m going to tell my players is to never head towards first on a 3 ball count and a pitch that is close, because if you do, it’s a strike call every time.

I’m gonna do the same when I’m become a MLB manager as well.

Nice job Huddy.
