Disregard Clevenger on bench, he was just sent down to AAA.

 

[tedman2012]

[jeffro151]

Chen in a jam already. First 2 batters on with 2 hard hit singles.

 

[jeffro151]

Lucroy goes down looking. Huge K.

 

[jeffro151]

Gomez crushes one. 3-0 Brewers only 1 out in B1. FUCKIN PATHETIC

I haven't tuned in just yet but just took a quick look at the box score. No hits, no walks, Garza at a 30 pitch count in the 3rd? What da fuuuucccckkkk..

 

[ThruTheEyesOfRuby]

Check that, Schoop just got on. Perfect game avoided.. phew!

Chen being chen

Chen being chen

Yep. He's not allowed to have a clean inning. He must always.. ALWAYS.. be digging himself out of a hole.

And, for my money, Gonzo does that better.

 

[ThruTheEyesOfRuby]

Good job atleast keeping Braun on 2nd with that flyout.

 

[ThruTheEyesOfRuby]

Yankees atleast down 4-0 as well. Sox behind 3-2. Blue Jays doin' their World Beating thing still.

 

[all4ripken]

3 bombs through 3+ innings....smh

 

[ThruTheEyesOfRuby]

Chen taking it on the chin tonight. 5-0 Brew Crew

 

[all4ripken]

Leaving EVERYTHING over the middle of the plate

 

[ThruTheEyesOfRuby]

Cruuuzzzzzz.... yeah, baby.

 

[ThruTheEyesOfRuby]

Hardy had the right idea.. make him work. Get this guy all emotional and over-thinking. He was comfortable in the 1st inning (when most teams have the most success against him).. just gotta get him overthinking and make a few mistakes here.

 

[ThruTheEyesOfRuby]

Can we name the number of teams out there on two hands that are kicking themselves.. I mean positively kicking themselves.. for not picking up Cruz when they had the chance this offseason.

 

[ThruTheEyesOfRuby]

Good job Nick. Delmon Young scores on the double.

 

[ThruTheEyesOfRuby]

We actually bunted!!
