I mean it sounds stupid but I could see the name Brewers being dropped at some point for being not socially acceptable or something like that. Not right now, but some day. Brewing beer isn't socially acceptable?!
I wish TBS would show the batter, the order they're in, and MPH on the pitch. It's nice to flip back the game here and there and know where they're at in the lineup, etc.
I'm still amazed at how many people forget that Kotsay hit a home run that day and walked in 2 of his other 3 plate appearances. He had the highest offensive Win Probability Added of any position player on either team that day. He also badly misplayed a ball in CF that either led to runs or led to a big inning that eventually won the game for the Cardinals.
There's Smoltz again, complaining about "teams finding loopholes" in lineups because rosters expanded. I'm about 99.9% certain rosters expanded to 40 when he played. I'm way over that dude and his whining about how the game is played.
Really like this lineup, even without Yelich. I also really hope that Braun can play some 1B next season, but that's another thread. And yes, I know Counsell knows this lineup and team like a bazillion times more than me.
We always talk about losses that will come back to bite the Brewers in the butt during the season, this is definitely one of those wins we can point to. Huge game today and nice to see Braun with the big hit.
