I don't feel good about a single one of these match-ups.

So, at what point in time do the Brewers realize they need to play Santana more and move Braun into the platoon 1B/OF role? He's not an everyday starter at this point and the more rest he gets the better. He's done little to nothing to deserve more AB's than Santana. Let's get Domingo back on track and give Braun some rest.

They'll be fine costing themselves games because it's 2011 for Braun and not anyone else.

I don’t think Woodruff is this bad, I don’t think Koch is this good...so hopefully that one.

Guerra is reverting to last year’s Guerra - too many men on base. Not a good trend the past couple starts. Chacin has gotten his house a bit in order and I think his velo is trending up a wee bit. Woodruff, man I don’t know. His control is the issue. He’s got some stuff but can’t locate. I imagine we’ll be seeing a lot of bullpen regardless.

At what point are they going to realize if he's playing he isn't a **** 3 hole hitter?

Dbacks have been slumping a bit. Not a bad time to get them.

The NL has been wild this year. Of the 15 teams in the league, 10 are above .500, and all but the Marlins, Dodgers, Reds, and Padres are within 4 games of the playoffs.

It's too early to cast any judgments.

The fact that this season is only 1/4 of the way in may be a factor, but, the humidor being installed at Chase Field:

Per ESPN Park Factor, Chase Field
Year: Park Factor (MLB rank)
2010: 1.049 (9th)
2011: 1.146 (5th)
2012: 1.171 (6th)
2013: 0.974 (18th)
2014: 1.154 (2nd)
2015: 1.062 (8th)
2016: 1.225 (2nd)
2017: 1.202 (3rd)
2018: 0.790 (28th) - with humidor

It's not too early to cast judgement that Braun is not a 3 hitter anymore IMO.

Might have it wrong but I have a hard time ever seeing Counsell move Braun down the order.

Pina is so **** slow oh my god.

I have no idea what the **** the Dbacks were doing there but thanks for those two runs.

Guerra can lose control at any moment. I do not trust him for an inch. (I don't know what that means, but I don't trust Guerra)

EDIT: Just too many walks. Period. Not a fan. Hope they win tonight. And, hope he plays the majority of his season in AAA ball.

Come on Yelich. Let's see some magic, baby.

Atta boy. First pitch flare to left. Love it, baby.

Atta boy, Domingo. Beautiful sacrifice.

God damn, I love bringing Hader in to protect a lead. What a stud.

EDIT: I mean seriously. Lefties are batting 1 for 25. He has 17 K's. That's INSANE. What a god damn gem.

Villar! Great AB.
