From the SB Nation Milwaukee Brewers blog Brew Crew Ball
- “Game only slightly more active than game thread thus far.”
- “Don’t worry. Lacking historical and statistical knowledge and not contributing much of anything useful hasn’t stopped me making over 5,000 comments.”
- “Early evidence suggests that Baby Huey is that rarest of creatures. Worse than Yuni at third.”
- “Sad story when a veteran gets handed a starting job in the majors. Which is rare enough. Then he flubs it.”
- “I imagine Doug saw that a low-hitting left-side infielder was available and immediately knew he’d be perfect for first base”
- “The terrible wild throws he’s had in the last couple games make it look like his biggest problem is not knowing when to eat the ball… Ironically.”
- “This is an odd pitchers duel. Two guys with nothing stuff striking out a lot of batters.”
- “On the other hand. It’s two terrible teams striking out a bunch against crappy pitchers. Which is a lot less odd.”
- “We’ve seen this play before. Absolute amateur hour. Yet, we’re only down one.”
- “PHew. that’s terrible”
- “And the error costs the team another run”
- “there’s your dagger.”
- “The Bronx cheer on handling the grounder. Good for the crowd.”
- “Is Judge Rheinhold doing commercials for a Milwaukee law firm on WTMJ? That sure sounded like him”
- “It’s all just an elaborate Arrested Development callback.”
- “Francisco makes a standard fielding play and it’s successful in recording an out!”
- “I swear I’ve only seen Lucroy hit HRs in person. I don’t think I’ve ever seen one on TV. I’m always in the kitchen or on the crapper.”
- “5-4-3 double play!! Holy cow! Francisco to Weeks to Halton. That has to be one of the worst defensive combos in Brewer history.”
- “Holy shit is Weeks drunk today?”
- “Maybe he celebrates a little too late because his defense today isn’t up to high school standards.”
- “Yes. I realize most of these tickets were likely purchased some time ago. But still good to see crowds supporting a borderline Triple A team.”
- “Being completely fair. It’s only a borderline Triple A team because we’re just marginally too good for Double A”
- “Ok, fatboy. Payback would be appreciated”
- “Parnell was definitely working around Francisco. Which part of me finds amusing”
- “Haha Mets. You win this game, but now you’re losing the Andrew Wiggins sweepstakes.”
The Milwaukee Journal Sentinal Brewers Blog
- “Francisco is awful, no wonder he gets released every place he plays.”
- “Actually, he seems to fit in rather well on the Brewers roster.”
- “Francisco is Melvin’s kind of guy: Big, no position, all or nothing at the plate, and undeveloped as a player. Got to love the no tag by Weeks as he is out of position again. Now he strikes out with a man in scoring position. Be nice to have players that value every at bat and are aware on every pitch”
- “That guy has no clue about positioning.”
- “You could have stopped at no clue.”
- “Another WTF moment from Juan Francisco, who is supposedly a “natural” third baseman. No way should this guy have a job with the Brewers, injuries notwithstanding.”
- “I blame Corey Hart”
- “Weeks and Hart are both getting paid $10 million each this year for what they’re producing for the Brewers. I have some land in Adams County that I’m sure Attanasio would be interested in buying for future commercial development.”
- “Segura looking like a rookie now.”
- “In a tweet one of the writers thinks Segura is gassed.You can say that for the entire team.”
- “Sure hoped the fans enjoyed the Hank Aaron bobble head they got today.What a terrible team we are putting on the field.The management is grabbing at straws with this bunch of Triple A players.”
- “That giant sucking sound you hear is Rickie Weeks. Packer season can’t get here soon enough.”
- “Don’t complain, he’s doing all he can to get the Brewers the #1 pick in next year’s draft.”
- “Seriously, are people actually still paying money to watch the Brewers play?”
- “A top pick is nothing to sneeze at.”
- “The Brewers have to do something about the worse infield in the Majors”
- “This Brewer team sucks as almost as bad as this Journal chat room which is full of a number of so-called fans, of this embarrasing team, who can find nothing to do than watch the loser,(Brewers) and then complain about how awful they are! Why spend all this time on a team that does’nt give a damn and whose owner and GM have no clew what steps to take in order to turn this stupid situation around!”
