Brewers (Montas) vs Nationals (Irvin): 8/2/24, 5:45pm

I’m feeling a sweep here. Irvin has been good but we beat him up pretty good back in July. No more Winker to deal with either.

Montas has the Razz-Ma-Taz ... he will cause the Nats offense to spaz!

Irvin will be curvin' and swervin', BUT the Brew Crew offense will renew and knock him out by inning number two!

I'm just hoping for a series win.  No such thing as an easy series for the Brewers.

[Outlander]

Montas can set the tone for the series. He went to Washington a couple of weeks ago and had a horrible game and it's not like Lane Thomas and Winker did the damage. Would like to be optimistic but Montas really needs to pitch better than he has thus far this season.

Potentially a fairly good pivot game for morale with the fan base and this one. If the newly acquired arm throws well and we win, I think there is a big sigh of relief and arrow points up again. But if he gets hit hard I think the storm clouds are going to intensify amongst the fan base...

In addition, Cards blow one last night and are down 4-0 today in the day.  If that holds and MKE wins, the obvious impending collapse of the Brewers due to such horrible management is back to a 6.5 lead with like 50 games left.    And I think they have tie breaker too

ETA: now 5-0 and its off the headline deadline acquisition Fredde

At least we didn't trade for Fedde.

Pirates are only 6 games back so if they win and the Cards lose they would move into 2nd. We don't have the tiebreaker with the Cardinals but we are 6-1 against them so 1 win in the final 6 games against them would secure the tiebreaker. We are 5-5 against the Pirates so they probably are the more realistic threat especially with their stellar starting pitching. I hope when we play them in the second to last series of the season that it's not a series with playoff implications.

I guess I won’t be seeing this one. The free Apple TV trial I got earlier this season has run out and I’m not paying just to see a couple of games on TV.

This can go in three directions:

1.  Montas pitches an excellent game, and everyone praises our front office.

2. Montas gets shelled, and the board implodes!

3. Montas pitches a meh game, making it impossible to form an opinion.

I'm sure you can find another free trial. Best buy usually has a 3 month free Apple TV sitting in their online shop

In scenario number 3 people argue incessantly whatever their preexisting opinion.

Cubs pen doing their best to return the favor.

I did get a 1 month trial through another site. Some times they reject you if you’ve had another one too recently.

i searched apple tv promo code and a 2 month trial came up on a reddit thread.  I already used the 3 month best buy one.

I used up my free trial, but for $10.49 A month, I think I can eat that.

Good job getting the leadoff hitter on base for the second inning in a row.

[82brewcrew82]

Hoskins smoked that one.

[nate82]

Ruiz with a pathetic attempt at a tag gives the Brewers a run!

[82brewcrew82]

Hey, two runs!

[82brewcrew82]

Gotta do better Ortiz.

[markedman5]

That.a boy Mitchell! That a big hit!

[yourout]

Nice to get an early crooked number

[wildcat83]

Mitchell has been a pleasant surprise, I thought it would take him a bit to settle in after missing so much time.
