Hopefully this lineup gets us back on the winning way.

Alright Scoots.

Krush!

Nicely done KD

Wow, Fiers after 3 innings, 7 strikeouts. The other 2 outs were a fly ball and a tapper back to the pitcher. The last 4 Ks were looking.

I'll take it anyway we can get it at this point.

FIERS
is looking real nice




maybe give Lohse a mini break
give him off his next start
maybe 2 starts off

11k's through 5 for Fiers.

Fiers

that was a strike, common ump
what r u looking at

Too bad his pitch count is so high already.

RS is rock hard right now.

Holy ****. Fiers. I haven't seen a brewer this dominant since sabathia or sheets

It's nice to have Fiers to call up for the 4-5 game stretch he can come up for before teams remember to just sit on his changeup or fastball and he gets shelled.

i need a cigarette.

A shame he could only make it through 6 innings.

14 K's for Fiers? You just never know what you'll see at the old ballpark. Free-swinging team or not, he was awesome today.

So an absolute scrub just shoots one into the outfield and ends a gem of a shutout by Fiers. Thanks Herrera.

Axford claimed off waivers by the Pirates. That should be fun next weekend.
