Agreed. Now we got Bargatze (who I think is very funny), instead of the game. With the frustration at the home plate umpire on top of the “almost” defensive plays, I’m not having fun.

The circus around the game is almost too much, this is the best team in baseball and we’re tuned in to watch THEM.

The former player interviews are cool, but for the last two innings its some random person in the booth yapping away about whatever.  It is very annoying.

As fun as it is to have all the old Brewers here today, this game feels like a sideshow.

If we lose 1-0 then make a damn trade five minutes right after the game

Well no worries in that regard.

Chourio is heating up much like he did at this time last season 

[Team Canada]

Classic 2025 start for Freddy. Lots of baserunners, but 9K, 1R, hard to argue with the results.

That would be huge. Contreras - Chourio - Yeli trending up to career norms would be about the best thing for this offense.

[edfunderburk]

I love the ball in glove logo that was created in 1977 & first worn in 1978. But I must admit, I also love the “original” M logo that the Brewers are wearing today. What a classic look. Those caps & batting helmets are sharp. 
 

More than the M logo … I prefer the brighter blue color to what we wear today.

The bullpen is going to be getting a lot of work the next few days with a short start from Peralta and expected short starts from Woodruff and Misioroski on Sunday and Monday.

Ashby shows why I hold my breath every time a pitcher tries to throw to a base. 

[kevinisaname]

Ashby has good stuff; he just needs to trust it more. He was dangerously close to being trAshby today.

[BruisedCrew]

The Marlins are really owning the riding time in this game. 

[willie key]

If we lose the is game 2-1 we better make a trade within five minutes

[kevinisaname]

The offense is quite uninspiring today, thus far. Let's score some runs!

[yfinn6]

Yuck Yelich

[edfunderburk]

When is the last time Yelich squared up a ball & made hard contact? 
 

His slumps & up & down streaks are so frustrating. 

[Bulldogboy]

We still need a bat

Been awhile.  He's scuffling pretty good right now.

[kevinisaname]

Jesus, Ashby...

[kevinisaname]

Oh crap, Mears is gonna face Stowers...

 

Is Koenig not alive? I figured for sure they'd go to him in the 7th, Uribe in the 8th, and Megill in the 9th and then see where everything's at.

[kevinisaname]

Oh crap oh crap oh crap.

[adambr2]

Yeah, you can’t walk Ramirez there, Nick.

And you certainly can't walk Stowers there. I don't understand why not Koenig, but we are where we are.

[BruisedCrew]

Mears vs a top HR hitter didn’t work well in Seattle. So, let’s try it again.
