Lucky, taking that close pitch

What are the odds Santana strikes out here?

Three wins... Seems to happen to us a little more than occasionally. Getting swept by the Reds last September was devastating to our playoff hopes. We are 5-8 in our last 13 games against them, that won't cut it against bad teams if we expect to contend. I was thinking that this series is one that I could see us getting swept.

Except I forget that (1) we only hit solo home runs, and (2) we tend to watch strike three go right by

If Santana hits a HR here we have a chance

I'm sick of Rock always saying things like "The [opponents] offense really woke up tonight." I know why it woke up... but I don't know if he does. I get that he can't just come out and say some of these guys are just garbage, but come on!

Anyone else see this email from the Brewers today? It looks like they are well aware of the frustrations that fans are having already this season. I was happy to see the parts about improving their defense and being more consistent at the plate. ———————————- Crew Embracing Wild Ride In 2018 The Brewers are only 13 games into their young 2018 campaign, but in many ways, it feels as if this team has already experienced a season's worth of drama. After all, the first two weeks have produced more highs and lows than a weekday soap opera -- from incredible comebacks to heartbreaking defeats to painful injuries and everything in between. "We've been a little bit of a high-wire act for a little over a year now," manager Craig Counsell said on April 6. "That's exciting, it's maddening, it's frustrating. It's entertaining baseball, I think -- even on the nights it doesn't work out." Despite a chaotic first couple weeks, the Brewers enter their off-day pleased with their 7-6 record -- all things considered. The team has endured a variety of challenges in the early going, starting with injuries to key players like Christian Yelich and Corey Knebel. And while those injuries have taken their toll to an extent, the Brewers have taken a 'next man up' approach, rallying with steady performances from their talented bullpen and deep outfield. "I think we've certainly had our share of challenges, up to this point, with some significant injuries, with some tough games," Counsell said. "But we've had some great games. Sitting here, where we're at, we should feel we're hanging tough." With more than 15 seasons in "The Show," Milwaukee's skipper knows better than anyone that over the course of a 162-game marathon, the ability to "hang tough" during challenging stretches is often the very thing that determines just how far a team will go. And while Counsell and the Brewers are not hiding from the areas in which they need to improve -- a list that includes cleaning up costly mistakes in the field and becoming more consistent on offense -- they are proud of the grit they have demonstrated thus far and excited to see the results when the team starts firing on all cylinders. "This is part of the roller coaster, part of the ride," Counsell said. "This is what the baseball season is. There are going to be tough games, there are going to be games that are a ton of fun like this ... this is the ride we're on."

Yeah, this season has been way too stressful, considering it’s only April 10.

Alright, I’m going to bed. Forget this garbage.

Hehe

That’s why you don’t walk!

Uggh

No walks!

Whew!

I honestly can’t tell if that hit the ground or not.

I felt not re-signing Neil Walker was a mistake too

Here we go!

That seemed too close to take

I know he’s only had a few at bats, but Phillips isn’t making contact at all.

Well, they do have to pitch 2/3 of almost every game because our starters aren’t very good.

Why is this team so awful?

Hold my beer- brewers last night in the 10th Well, they did actually advance them by hitting they ball then.

Ok, they did move them over this time.

Someone should tell the Brewers you normally need to hit the ball to advance runners in scoring position.
