The schedule isn't getting any easier, though the Brewers are also in a slide. May the least-slidey-est team win.

I guess we'll be seeing a lot of Ks tonight!

That's me standing in Lake Superior near Thunder Bay.

Yeah but if you take your reflection and flip it around it does look like a certain bird mascot

Ahh this is the problem, I always view the site upside down. Easier to read that way

Nice to see Eloy hitting 5th! Let's go!!!!

[JaysFan99]

I hope they prove me wrong, but Lukes-Okamoto back to back looks brutal.

[Terminator]

This lineup is UGLY.

Right from the start, you've got Ernie and Varsho, both with career .296 OBPs, setting the table for our $500 million dollar man.

At least Gausman is on the mound and not one of the human gas cans we call our 3-4-5 starters, that gives us a chance.

 

[Terminator]

Some pre-game notes:

• Sosa is active, Fitzgerald optioned.
• Yesavage aiming for 4 innings and 65 pitches tomorrow in Buffalo. If all goes well he could join the team in Anaheim.
• Berrios aiming for 3 innings and 50 pitches Thursday in Dunedin.
• After Gaus and Cease pitch this week, openers are being considered for the other starters

Gotta be frustrating to be Davis Schneider. To be mashing the ball and still getting benched.

It’s a righty that throws absolute gas.  It’s the correct call.

[HomeRunHomer]

I'm not so sure that DS would be worse than Lukes at the moment even against gas.

[hanton]

didn't think Ernie was this bad in pitches per plate appearance, last in the majors (for qualified batters) at 3.18

That’s fair and it’s not like our 2 hole hitter fairs well against high heat either.

[HomeRunHomer]

The plate discipline stats really match up with the eye test for Nathan Lukes. He is swinging at a lot of pitches outside the zone and somehow making contact with them usually fouling them off.

Yep.  That's exactly what he is

Good thing the Brewers have the roof shut. Misiorowski might caught a wind gust and blown away.

[neverbeenhere]

it was ball

[neverbeenhere]

DP needed

[neverbeenhere]

ball

[HomeRunHomer]

Both teams wasting challenges in the first inning.

[Abomination]

Really not a fan of using early challenges unless it's obvious or a critical situation.

[hanton]

Gary Sanchez?  is hitting clean-up 

[Jonn]

Schneids moobs looking mighty fine tonight

Yeah at least Davis might walk and not STRIKEOUT ON THREE PITCHES WHILE SWINGING AT A BALL AT HIS EYES 

[Abomination]

Good, quick inning. Gausman really needed that.
