Love the road navy blues. That would be the home uni if I had any say on the matter 

[kevinisaname]

I thought he got more of that...

Only 97 off the bat apparently, .300 xBA.

Jansen hasn’t brought much to the table since the trade. Can’t complain much about that contact, though.

[ReverendBrewmeister]

Got some decent swings from Vaughn, Frelick, and Jansen in the 2nd inning. A little unlucky for Jansen on the drive toward the left-center gap.

Got one eye on the game during work today.  What's the wind doing at Wrigley today?

[CheezWizHed]

what is the wind like today at bubble gum park?

Same situation... same question... same time. What are the odds?

MLB app is calling it 2 mph, right to left.

Brian, I think that it is uncalled for.  If you don't like Counselw for his baseball acumen, that is fair.  When I moved here in 1981, there was a High School kid down the black, who was obsessed with baseball.  He grew up in a three bedroom Mickelson house, his Dad was a PR guy with the Brewers, which was not a way to get rich then.  Counce was just a hard working kid, not uppity, as you somehow have determined.  He was shy, and still is.  But he was, and is still a community member,.  Don't judge what you don't know.

When he hightailed it out of here for big $$$ in Chicago my opinion changed also. 

[Oxy]

BA said it's a neutral wind, slightly right to left.

[kevinisaname]

I was happy with the ump... until that miss.

[yfinn6]

That pitch is the same pitch that the ump rung Yelich up on.

There are a lot of fans who rightfully feel betrayed by Counsell's decision to leave the Brewers and go to the Cubs. His history makes stomaching that even tougher. The ribbing he takes from Brewer fans is more than fair and warranted. 

[OldSchoolSnapper]

Freddy looks sharp. 

[ReverendBrewmeister]

25 pitches through 2 IP for Peralta. Good efficient start. Could use another 5 innings of that.

[Turning2]

Except for his little bit of additional power,  Jansen seemed like an odd pickup. Hoping they get a big hero pop  or two out of him in some critical moments down the stretch or playoffs 

[OldSchoolSnapper]

Shaming a guy for chasing the bag is so laughable lol. Nobody on the planet turns down $8mm a year in their 50s to be a manager. 

My ONLY gripe with CC was the nonsense about "resetting the bar" or whatever for managers. Dude you wanted money. Just say it. It's fine. 

[kevinisaname]

BRICE!

[ReverendBrewmeister]

Turang hitting homers has been a nice bonus this season.

[Turning2]

Anybody catch Dillard‘s reaction when BA opened the umbrella unexpectedly hilarious

LOL yeah I saw that. 

[Team Canada]

At least based on Gameday seems like he's throwing a number of middle-middle fastballs so far. Need to ambush those instead of watching them go by like Ortiz did (and Brice did not).

[Brian]

Lets cream these guys today Caleb Durbin! 

[yfinn6]

Horton is coming out.
