I like the way the rotation lines up in this series, especially after winning 9 of last 10. Keep in going.
Aoki RF
Segura SS
Braun LF
Lucroy C
Weeks 2B
Gomez CF
Betancourt 3B
A. Gonzalez 1B
Burgos P
That Weeks/Luc switch is worth 2-3 extra runs.
Go Crew!

just switching over from draft coverage.
looks like feast or famine again. only hit thru 4 is a solo by Braun
thats 2 runs in last 20 innings by the offense. looks like weve cooled off.
time to get em goign again

Jonathan LuCroy singled right after Braun's hit.
Yuni! MVP!!!
It appears the Brewers salted the game away by virtue of bad defense and the bullpen
Haven't heard that story before
After the winning streak they've now dropped two games in a row. Please don't make this a trend Brewers.

Yes, please don't have too many 9-2 runs Crew... 
Pissed me off most? Having Jean, who is ripping the cover off the ball, lay down a suicide squeeze.
STFU 
They wouldn't be 9-2 if you would have continued starting threads

I dropped Rickie from my fantasy team today, so expect big things...

“You want to keep with what’s going well. I think that’s the biggest thing,” Axford said. Things are going good right now, winning nine in a row. Losing that tough one [on Wednesday] in San Diego, we had a shot of winning that one at the end, too. You really want to keep with what’s strong and what’s working, I think.”
In other words, he’s just fine serving as setup man to Henderson.
“You don’t want to fix anything that’s not broken right now, that’s for sure,” Axford said.

Segura has been so good this year that's it's hard to get down on the guy but similar to Gomez in the outfield you have to make those plays. Both of those screw ups were huge factors in the outcome of final score.
Clearly Roenicke sounded annoyed about it as well.
Put it behind them and go get the next two.

Tom @Haudricourt 8m #Brewers SS Jean Segura split the nail on his right index finger taking ground balls during BP. That's why he has been scratched.
Infield hitter guy needs to be fired!

Woo Hoo! Brewers on MLB Network tonight! Too bad Vin Scully is doing the Dodgers broadcast on the telecast. UGH. Wow, Scully sounds really old! Yes, I know he is old.
Way to go Gonzo with the 2-run shot! Brewers up 4-3 going into the top of the 8th.
Vin Scully calling Gonzo Gonzalez instead of Gomez. Vin, you have been a great broadcaster, but it's time to hang up the microphone. Just MHO.

Happy with the win.
The batting order was high comedy.

Good to see them pull this one out. A couple of big HRs turned the tide.
Axford is still a little

Pivotal game today heading in to a monster home stand.....wait, it's only April. Hogwash, they're all equally important whether it be April or October.....need to take 2 out of 3 today.
The above was a coffee induced stream of conscious while attempting to watch Monsters Inc. with the kids, process the Packers draft, all while thinking about how important today's game will be.
Did I mention I was surprised there wasn't a JS article this weekend about the departure of Greinke?? I love when we are granted access into Zach's mind. It's fascinating.

Alex Gonzalez had quite the bizarre evening.
0-4 including a strikeout in 7 pitches.
1 pitch flyout
3 pitch strikeout
2 pitch groundout
1 pitch groundout
Way to work the count Alex!

And yet makes a nice defensive play to win the game. I'll take the good with the bad. Brewers got plenty of other guys on the team who can mash. Gonzalez clearly not one of them who can do it consistently.
In the early part of the season, I was totally surprised at how badly we played. I saw the team play for a week in spring training and I was surprised then too at how fundamentally weak we were. I thought we would be really good even after losing Hart. I like the pick ups of Gonzalez and Yuni. Yuni has been much better than I thought he would ever be and Gonzalez hasn't hit like I thought he would, but they've both played a significant role in our recent success. The pitching seems to be coming on. Maybe the most important thing about this team is they are playing like they expect to win. I'm still baffled that Rickie Weeks finds his way into the lineup every day.
Warren - send me a PM; have some info for you...

Tough series... 3-3 roadie, though. Not bad. Keep winning at MP and we'll stay on pace.
They had a chance in the 8th but the baserunning gremlins came back to haunt the Brewers 
Kershaw was dealing and you have to tip your hat to him. Lohse pitched very well in his own right.
Would have been nice to get back with a winning road trip but back home and time to do some damage.

I vote that we still continue using this method for game threads despite losing 3 of 4. As a reminder, it goes like this:
1. Elkonda's "I can't fathom.." post.
2. A derailing post by C-Boy.
3. Lineup's posted by C-Boy.
4. Hank Jr. aggressive post.
Exciting series with the red hot Scalawags starting tonight!
