Starting Pitchers

Milwaukee: Estrada (1-1, 3.06 ERA)

Pittsburgh: Cole (2-1, 4.74 ERA)


and this guy will probably be there doing stuff



Hopefully this guy too


can't forget this guy

and some other people

but probably not this

The most amazing thing is how they've done this against a tough schedule. They've played only 3 games against teams that won less than 94 games last year! And none of the 94+ win teams they've played got significantly worse on paper except maybe Atlanta if you consider their injuries to starting pitchers. Sure, some of their opponents' records may not seem like much, but they've all had tough schedules as well (including having to play the Brewers). Consider some of the teams they've played:

Boston: Texas, Baltimore x 2, NYY, Milwaukee
Atlanta: Milwaukee, Washington x 2 (not overwhelming, but that's why they're 12-5)
Pitt: STL, Cincy, Milwaukee x 2
STL: Cincy x 2, Pitt, Milwaukee, Washington

Only Philly could be regarded as a team that doesn't have obvious 90-win potential. Every other team is easily on track for 85+ once their schedules balance out a little. That's impressive. I can't imagine any other team has played a schedule as tough as Milwaukee's.

The sunday lineup should be entertaining.....

Over/under of 1.5 errors. I'll take the over.

Let's get the series win.

“@Todd_Rosiak: Logan Schafer to the DL with strained right hamstring retroactive to the 18th. Elian Herrera stays, Lyle Overbay activated.”

“@BrewerNation: Today's #Brewers lineup: CF Gomez, SS Segura, RF Braun, C Lucroy, LF Davis, 2B Gennett, 1B Reynolds, 3B Bianchi, P Estrada”

“@BrewerNation: #Pirates lineup: LF Marte, 3B Harrison, CF McCutchen, 1B Davis, 2B Walker, RF Tabata, SS Barmes, C Stewart, P Cole”

in nice, easy to read fashion:

I don't believe my eyes. That almost looks like...a decent Sunday lineup.

Honestly once they get it going at home (even with a bit of an expected drop off on the road, this team could make some noise.

Go-Go Triple!

Oh boy

Wow Rickie just tackled the dude that was on GoGo i think

WTF is this all about.

Did Cole seriously say something? What a bitch..

That would've been a homer if Gomez didn't trot and stare at it fight would've been averted as well

Cole is a bitch

This is **** bullsh*t if that pussy Cole gets to stay in the game

I'm sure somebody called Gomez dumb as a rock, which is a touchy subject for him because he is. So he went wild.

Try running as soon as you hit the ball next time Carlos. And maybe don't try to take 3rd with two outs next time.

Way to get suspended. Good timing with Schafer hurt, too. Moron.

This team is so friggin' stupid.

Cole instigates a fight and gets to stay in the game, nice.

Seriously Cole instigates the whole thing and then pulls the Garnett move and walks away. He stays in, needs to get a pitch high and inside.

**** this ****
