Don't "need" it, but it sure would be nice.

 

I expect the Brewers to win.

[treego14]

Brandon will have his pitches landin' !!!

Jameson will have his outfielders and bleacher fans chasin' !!!

[MoreTrife]

Is this Taillon's first game back from injured list? Gotta get to him, unacceptable for him to settle in.

Yes.

The Brewers really need to jump on Tallion for some early runs. He’s probably not going to be in too long before Counsell goes to a, lefty. 
 

Also need 6 strong innings from Woodruff. This is the best pitching matchup the Brewers will have in this series and they need to take advantage of it.

How many at bats will Ortiz get with the bases loaded tonight?

[FidoMcCokefiend]

Just win this one tonight so I don't have to be stressed out the next 2 days.  

[kevinisaname]

Let's score some early runs, eh? And then a bunch more after that...

Beauty idea eh...

[BCF]

Need to work the count and get him out of the game early 

[yfinn6]

Not that I am panicking or have any real emotional tie to this as the Brewers are still "fine" but I don't have a great feeling about the game tonight. Feels like Woodruff is kind of due for a stinker. I can't wait to have this post bumped in a "you're an idiot" type way later.

It does seem like we haven't scored in the first inning in a while?

We're also near the bottom of the league in first-inning runs. Today is a good day to reverse that trend, though with the wind blowing straight in, scoring at all might be tricky.

[yfinn6]

Huh. Sal just making sure he's getting a good look, lol

[Underachiever]

Beautiful night. Wearing my Chourio jersey.

I thought so too, so I looked it up, and we scored twice in the first inning against Pittsburgh (in two separate games).

A quick first two outs, but William and Christian made him work a bit. C'mon, Vaughn. Give us a crooked number.

[liveforoctober]

Keep making him throw pitches..

[yfinn6]

Man Vaughn had a good 1-1 pitch to hit. Just missed it too. 

[kevinisaname]

Vaughn with a knock! Let's go!

[BCF]

5 pitches for the first 2 outs now he's at 24 pitches and still pitching with a run in

Crazy 

[liveforoctober]

Vaughn hit everything hard in the first game too. Even his double play was squared up..

[yfinn6]

Hell yeah

[TURBO]

This Vaughn guy can play baseball.
