Best overall record in the NL. Lowest bullpen ERA in all of baseball. Gonna enjoy this while it lasts.

Would hope that even if they level out a bit, the bats start heating up more. Or we just continue to ride our luck.

We will tag Syndergaard for 6 runs in 5 innings and help Vargas to a complete game shutout.

Fun Fact: In all 8 of the times the Brewers have been shutout this year, Ryan Braun was hitting third in the lineup.

I have no stats to back it up, but feels like since Braun went out and Aguilar came in, we've been pretty damn good.

I am not used to having one of the best records in baseball. This is a new feeling and sadly I am skeptical of how long it will last, but it is sure fun.

Skepticism is a defining trait of any Wisconsin sports fan. It's in our blood.

It's really not that surprising that you take a **** hitter out of the most important spot in your lineup and the offense is significantly improved. Braun needs to be hitting 6th, but Counsell doesn't have the balls to do it.

It's easier for me to keep perspective on the Brewers vs the Packers or Bucks simply due to the uneven playing field. So you have the right idea. Enjoy the hell out of it when / while you can.

Braun needs to be coming off the bench or, at minimum, playing 1-2 games a week. He's been terrible other than a few clutch HR's. They need to keep playing time a meritocracy.

Arcia at the plate. Hmmmmmm. Don't know what to even say. First pitch pop-up to RF with men on 1st and 2nd and 1 out. Ugh.

That's what we get for hitting Hernan 5th.

Garbage

bizarro · Post #17 » by **bizarro** » Fri May 25, 2018 1:12 am

1 runner in 1st. 2 in 2nd. 3 in 3rd. No runs. It's a matter of time - I think?!?

Career .390 hitter vs. the Mets. I understand the placement. Had a great first at bat where Bruce had a really good jump and a nice catch. BUT, yeah, that pop-up. Can't have that.

EDIT: I should also be clear. I'm never really happy when Perez or Arcia are in the line-up at present. I just don't see anything to be excited about.

I assume Arcia is the batting .000?
