Texted my friend when lineup came out. Called out Monasterio and Cameron as evidence they wouldn’t win today. 3 rbis later, I’ll recant.

RBI is overrated.

That was awesome. Just as exciting as a HR.

From Priester's command of both the situation, and his pitches. Perfectly executed. Ortiz needs to make an awesome play. Hoskins needs all the stretch he's got in that body. The slight pause before the ump pumps his fist. Beautiful.

That’s why, as a smart fan, I cheer when a run scores on a double-play.

Yea my nitpicks on the lineup would've been why Mona at the top. And why Cameron at the 5 rather than lower, probably swap him with Haase.   I accept that come days you have to play bench guys so the fact they're playing I don't even worry about, but those would've been my tweaks.    Just shows why getting agitated over lineup daily is likely a waste of energy.

Fresh legs on both of them and Chourio's not happy until its at least in the 80's.

That sinker really doing its job for Priester……again.

If Hall is official a tandem starter then you are basically one short in the pen which is a problem to me. Just bring Henderson back let him take the starts and get Hall in the pen to soak up some innings. 

I will take this piggyback all day long if it's going to turn out like this!

[RobertCrawley]

Priester.

[markedman5]

Grounder……grounder……walk…..grounder

that will work

[Bulldogboy]

Hope Cameron can be a playable right handed option during this stretch. 

[markedman5]

Hit streak continues!

[Team Canada]

POUR IT ON.

This is going back a ways, but similar to someone like Derek Lowe (or Brandon Webb for that matter) where every ball was just beat into the ground.

Collins go's deep for 3 more. Ashby's turn I guess. 

[folly412]

I feel a little bad roughing up Miley.  

[markedman5]

Quite a day for the much maligned left field platoon……lol

Just a little……..but on 2nd thought…….nah it’s fun!

Why is Mears in this game? He pitched 6/1. Alexander pitched 5/31. Or yes, Ashby.

Ok fine, have a 5 pitch inning. :)

[Playing Catch]

Brewers are playing really well, up and down the roster.

This is the Murphy bullpen management that is a bit aggravating. Ashby should've been mopping up. Hasn't pitched since 5/27. They had an 8-run lead. There's even an off day tomorrow. 

[markedman5]

That’s a mind boggling 12 straight series wins vs the reds…….lol

Hell of a road trip and a happy flight
