Here's a thought:  We will whip Pfaadt!

Toby will be Must-C-TB -- His ERA is under 3!

Any chance to score 5-6 runs

any?

Brewers have scored 5 or 6 runs in 32 of their 147 games so far this year, so about a 21.77% chance.

But why aim so low? We could consider that the Brewers have scored more than 4 runs a total of 69 times so far this year, which is a whopping 46.9% of their games! That’s a lot of days where the offense wasn’t the problem.

I dunno if I've made the cut today but here I am in Service to the 'Win' column. I am mid-harvest but my thoughts are elsewhere on the diamond.

Brewers, my Brew Bros...Dudez...

Let's have a game without fear and a game where we make our mark on the Standings and the hearts of millions. A game where the casual becomes a devotee to the cult of Bernie.

To this end:

(1) Let us score more runs than the Diamondbacks

(2) Let us pitch with purpose and aggression where the zone is tickled and pummeled turning heat maps blue 

(3) Let us defend like the 300 year old tortoise shell wandering the Arizona deserts 

(4) Let's win One for Hank across that Rainbow Bridge 

It. Is. Time. To think the unthinkable. To achieve the impossible. Let's sprint from those starting blocks on that run to Glory.

And so it is. This is the way.

Nice to have baseball to take the focus off some bad football till hockey starts. 😁

Per #Dodgers Dave Roberts -- scans show Tyler Glasnow has a "sprained elbow." Will be shut down from throwing indefinitely. "Highly unlikely" he pitches again this year
 

sounds like Glasnow is done for the year

Can't buy or trade their way out of it at this point.

Mitchell hitting clean up again. 

It's worked so well so far.

[RobertCrawley]

Turang grade A base running

[yourout]

A run without a hit...nice

Then a clutch hit/RBI by Mitchell. Followed By Adamas Single.

Smooth.

Followed by a base running mistake

[RobertCrawley]

OMG

[yourout]

With Bauers being 9 for 79 I don't blame them for starting the runner with 2 strikes.

AZ seen that one coming a bench called double steal. 

[umphrey]

We don’t have anyone better than Bauers and his .193 avg? I know his other stats like obp aren’t terrible but cmon at least hit .200 as a 1B/DH hitting 6th. 

[HarryDoyle]

Doesn't Frelick know Myers has to give up a leadoff home run?
