Way to go Braunie! Don't get picked off now.

Brewer pitchers have really used the curve ball a lot and with great success in this series

A triple that turns into a little league homer on a ball that hit the infield dirt on the way out......got to love it.

Perez 766 ops vs lefties Arcia 477 Why not try to figure out why CC makes a decision before assuming he has no rational for doing it?

He isn't going anywhere. Why this subject keeps coming up is beyond me.

Schoop at 2nd Perez at SS tonight

One of the best wins of the year......wow. Miley, Soria and JJ just lights out. And that defense.......'

It's easy to stay relaxed when you're hitting a home run every other game......

Come on guys......going to need more then one run. Let's not waste the best start of Miley's Brewer career.

Mouse or Moose really showing me something with the glove......impressive

Miley missing a few bats tonight

CC seemed to agree Good attempt by Cain.....2 good at bats by Mouse

Damn

Beautiful piece of hitting by Cain

This guy has great stuff

Can't get an easier dp to turn for your first one then that. Way to hustle down the line Kemp.....

He isn't active tonight so he won't be playing even as a late inning guy. Could show up and hang in the dugout I guess if he makes it in time.

Get out of here with this garbage. Lets go back to 2008...who was the most beloved Packer? Donald Driver, the black guy. Who was the most hated player in the league in WI? Brett Favre, the white redneck guy. Sogard was a fan favorite in Milwaukee for same reason as any other team - he started out hot. The casual fan does not watch every game, and when a new guys comes in and they talk how great he is right away because he hits .500 for the first week that makes an impression. Then no one noticed he got 2 hits in August. If he started out with 2 hits his first month no one talks about him and he is gone. Excellent straw man you've built.. He never said Sogard was Wisconsin's favorite player. He just inferred that this happens with overachieving white players in predominantly white areas. I would agree with this and also add that sometimes they dont even have to achieve anything, just show flashes. I think the effect is probably more pronounced the lower the percentage of white players in a given sport. None of my argument is empirical, just my gut feeling. Im white btw. I dont see this as being a racism or privilege thing, it seems more like a relatability thing. I think people tend to have a fondness for guys who play hard and smart ...overachiever types....but if they end up sucking that fondness goes away rather quickly. Don't think color has anything to do with it but I do understand the general concept. I have always had a fondness for undersized white shooting guards in basketball because in my youth I was that guy.......but my favorites are all mostly black because other then Larry Bird and Pistol Pete most of the really great players I have watched have been black.

CC confirms he will see time at SS

This is at least a little encouraging

Not sure this belongs in this thread but I just noticed that if the Nationals win tonight(leading 10-0) the NL will only have 4 teams that are under .500.......that seems so strange. No real great teams but very few really bad ones.........parity at its finest.....and very unlike the AL.

Yeah he is going to be playing some short.....

From Sports Solutions Chris Archer goes from ... A Rays team that ranked 11th in turning ground balls and bunt grounders into outs (74.6% out rate) to A Pirates team that ranks last in turning ground balls and bunt grounders into outs (70.7% out rate)

The obvious hope is to score early with the better offense get the lead to the 6 TH inning.....turn it over to the pen and double switch out to improve the defense. If the strength of your team is the bullpen.....you need the lead to take advantage of it. Having quality players on the bench to pinch hit and sub in late is going to be key.

Yeah, start the games with 3B Moose, SS Schoop, 2B Shaw. Finish the game with 3B Moose or Shaw, SS Arcia, 2B Schoop. Nothing else about the 2018 Brewers has been conventional. Why start now :-) Yep this is how I see it too......Bernie likes it....https://twitter.com/berniepleskoff/status/1024389795261239296?s=21
