21-7 guys. 21-7

Awesome win guys! I'm glad you are all happy. Never doubted that game one bit.

Me too! The hardest thing to do in baseball is sweep the Cards..

We'll I'm going to bed even though I don't want to. Early work day. The ending of this game I have a fairly good idea on what will happen. Go Brewers guys!!!

I love this intense fan reactions, though. Competitive baseball. Love it.

If they lose today, it happens so what? There's always tomorrow.

So what? are you insinuating the Crew will lose this game?, or are you predicting they will definitely lose tomorrow? I'm actually hoping for 21-7. I think we could sweep the Cards. Will be VERY tough.

20-8 guys 20-8.

YES!!! Gomez!!!!

"Most of these guys never had a prime" CLASSIC!! Who were the other 4 SP's on that mlb team besides the Crisco guy?

If Lynn challenges the Brewers tonight and pounds the zone with fastballs Davis will have a big night.

What do you see as the minor adjustments for Davis & Segura? Davis needs to expect 2 pitches in 1 AB on the outside of the plate or out of the zone. I don't care if he takes a pitch that he thinks is a strike on the outside corner he needs to take it. Once he does than he can expect a pitch over the plate, because the count will likely be in his favor, and he needs to take it the other way like he did last night. Just get in a count where you will get a pitch to get the center of the bat on. Going the other way is so key, and you are daring him to pitch you their again which will result in either a hit to RF or a walk, and very rarely a SO. When Gomez was struggling right before he got out of his funk a year ago he I'm assuming was told to just take some pitches strikes or not. The pitcher wont locate all the time, so doing that will increase your chances of getting a pitch to square up on, and you make the pitcher work. So for Davis he needs to think take pitches. I'd tell him to just stand there with the bat on his shoulders and let the pitcher kinda know he wont be swinging and the pitcher will have to work for it to get me out. Then as the count gets in your favor think barrel of the bat and opposite field. The more he does this and is successful the less pitchers will pitch him this way, and it will force them to pitch him more inside, which he has a large inside area over the plate like Braun that he can smash anything in that area. If I was the hitting coach I'd tell him to do exactly this. Segura just needs to shorten up and go the other way so many times that the pitcher will come in on him and that's when Segura will show power. Segura make good contact, but pulls way to many pitches.

Hi and Tight, Davis needs a minor adjustment at the plate and he will be on fire at the plate. Segura will also have to make a minor adjustment, but he will be fine. These guys are pure talented hitters and over time they will solve their issue. I predict in a short period of time. The Brewers obviosly wont win 120 games, but 96 isn't out of the question in this division. Weeks is done.

Hit his fastball the other way and live in RF.

We're talking about how they're NOT fine. Davis' approach is nothing like what it's been coming up through the minors. He's not drawing walks and is swinging at bad pitches. The same is/was true for Segura. I know you like to be the optimist, and that's great. I hate people who consistently find ways to be pessimistic, but there is a difference between believing a player WILL be fine, and just flat out ignoring how they're performing at the moment and denying there is a problem when it's painfully obvious there is one. We have won DESPITE the production we've got from Davis and Segura thus far. Hopefully they get it turned around soon. This problem that you are talking about wont last, so you wont see me talking about it for either player.

Davis is perfectly fine like I said a page ago & Segura is fine also. What are you guys talking about?

Braun out with an oblique. Segura hit in the head. Ramirez day to day with an elbow. Yes they have. I thought you meant in the standings.. LOL.. oops! Still didn't matter yesterday.

Hitting won't be an issue Prince. If that shut down relief keeps this up I don't see anybody catching you. If the Cards don't make some moves to shore up theirs I can see Milwaukee going wire to wire. I predicted the Brewers to win the WS this year and be a contender. Looking pretty good right now.

We need Schafer back healthy

The Brewers haven't been dropping like flies. Also, the Brewers offense hasn't even gotten going yet. When they do be prepared to be shocked.

Would have thrown way less pitches.

Nothing about this game looked planned. Everything that was planned blew up in our faces.

he looked like he was in a state of shock when he hit it.

YES!!!! I can sleep!!!

could have struck him out 2 pitches earlier with a slider on the out side. So, what you are saying, and correct me if I'm wrong, is that a slider, on the outside, would have got him? Interesting.... Exactly.
