The Brewers beat Keller twice last season. Keller has a lifetime 5.31 ERA and 1-7 record against the Brewers.

This is the one thing I think the entirety of the board will either be fully or partially or superstitiously behind. Don't want them back.

I was actually irritated when I got to the game last night to see they were wearing them.

1 hr in 9 games is unsustainable. 

[Frisbee Slider]

Giants and Red Sox have 15 HR this season, last in MLB. Milwaukee has 19, second worst.

Let's not take Gary Sanchez out of the lineup today, please, Murph. We need his power so long as three of our biggest power hitters are out. 

Mitch Keller has been a bit lucky this season. Need our lefties (looking at you Turang and Bauers) to feast as Keller struggles much more against lefties.

Monasterio just hit a grand slam, so the Sox are creeping closer

And Durbin followed two batters later with his own 2-run shot

To put those homers into perspective, Monasterio’s came in the ninth inning of a 8-1 game against a mop up reliever making his first MLB appearance of the season. Durbin hit his off of a position player who gave up another a few batters later.

It might be sustainable but it probably isn’t survivable.

Black hitting cleanup?

Miz has the extra spicy fastball early.

You want Turang, Contreras and Bauers at the top getting as many AB's as possible so the other options are Mitchell, Frelick, Jones, Hamilton and Ortiz.  I'd probably put Mitchell there but Black is like 1 of 2 choices because no way in hell any of the others should be there.

[BarremlensTSSC]

0 for 12 he's on aside Turang watching strike 3 leading off is probably confirmation that he's just not seeing the ball well right now.

[Bulldogboy]

Trade a prospect or three for a bat. You can't just sit and hope guys are coming back. You can't use all of these guys anyway. 

[BarremlensTSSC]

well, they're hitting the ball hard at times.  

[BarremlensTSSC]

Well, ****.

[BarremlensTSSC]

There's a hit!

[BarremlensTSSC]

There's another!

[BarremlensTSSC]

There's a run!  Pretty good at bat by Mitchell even with the groundout.  Two really good takes to get to 3-2.  Fouled off what would have been ball 4 before the RBI groundout.

[BarremlensTSSC]

2-2!  Could have been better but I'll take it at this point.

Yes, would be nice to score a run without making an out at the same time, but I will take it as well

I'd say they were getting unlucky with the hard hit outs... because they are, but there was some BABIP magic in Black's double, and the error letting Bauers take 2nd didn't hurt either.
