I literally just saw that video for the first time this morning. I just played it out in real life right now. One of our sons is supposed to have surgery in a month, but now we find out that while the surgeon and the hospital are in-network, the outpatient center they scheduled the surgery to take place in, is out-of-network. SUPER FUN TIMES!

This inning is murder. Ugh.

I haven't gotten to pay a lot of attention lately, so I don't know if this has been mentioned elsewhere; but the Brewers haven't scored a run without hitting a home run, since Friday.

When I predict a win early on they win. I'm 5 for 5 now in game threads. You also told me yesterday to not worry, that Wandy would give up another homerun, but he didn't. WHAT SHOULD I BELIEVE!!!

Fair enough. However, Maldy had 13 PH appearances last season, Lucroy had 12. So it's not as bad about it as others may be.

RR had both Lucroy and Madonado in the starting lineup yesterday, so I don't think he's to tethered to that.

I'm not sure what to expect in the 9th from KRod because Dead Simmons is here and we weren't down by three runs.

Alright, I think it's fair to say this thread is majorly off-topic and has been deemed "case closed" enough times to just close the thread.

Man, Segura cannot steal bases this season.

People who listen to the radio call may know better, but I don't think I've heard Uecker rip on Wrigley Field before. Yesterday he was already on about the quality of the booth and he's full on it today. Pretty funny.

But that's legit concern and it's miles different than insinuating that the problem is he just needs to man up or some other such foolishness.

I was trying to formulate a response about how ill-informed comments like this are about sports injuries, but instead I want to post about what an amazing AB that was by Lucroy. Great job Luc.

Supposedly, no.

This thread is basically every political "debate" I've ever had on Facebook.

Saw on the MLB highlight that Snider came up to Maldy and shook his hand before the start of the game today.

Compound our lineup issues with how "good" we are at day baseball, and this weekend in Chicago could be really frustrating.

Yo hasn't pitched a great game, but he's pitched a fine enough game. Hard to be mad at him when our offense is being so useless.

Video is up on MLB.com - I'm watching Gameday. The Pirates announcers called Weeks out for the same thing. The look-back wasn't much of a look-back because Weeks was already basically back to third.
