Opening Day 2016! Frisco at The Crew

Don't care about the 8 and 9th spots, that move is fine with me.  Scooter starting, OTOH, seems odd.  

Bamgarner is sick and cannot throw a strike.  

My guy Carter with the first RBI!

And Scooter goes yard

That @Sgennett2 homer left the bat at 108.5 mph.

His hardest hit last year? 103.6 mph. #Statcast pic.twitter.com/L2wc0ZuMOS

This Brewer team takes me back to my youth. This is like the early to mid-1970s teams. You watched them because you were just grateful to have a baseball team in Wisconsin. They had a couple of good players, but you knew they were going to lose 90 games when the season started. And Bob Uecker has called it all. I've said this before, but the thing I feel worst about as a Brewer fan is that Bob Uecker will never get to call the last out of a game in which the Brewers clinch a World Championship. There is just something wrong about that.

Pound the strike zone

Ariel Pena is the first reliever in MLB history to allow three home runs in an Opening Day game. 28 guys had allowed two.

So true MP. There would be no better radio call then hearing Ueck announce that the Brewers are World Series Champions. He is so deserving of it after 46 seasons calling for this team. He's 82 now so i can imagine there are not many more chances left to win it all during his tenure. 

Juan's No-No

El-Ka-Bong

Those are some great calls. My other favorites. 

1. Cecil Cooper's go ahead 2 run single in the 1982 ALCS. 

2. A bunch of calls from Cecil Cooper's 3 HR game against the Yankees in the late 1970s. 

My absolute favorite Uecker of all time is Robin Yount's catch off of a Eddie Murray drive to save Juan Neives's no hitter.  "Long run Robin, long long run, heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeessssssssssss got it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Finding the no hitter call was a challenge, could not find Cooper's single.  

And honestly, there are to many oddball stories in my head to even remember.  How to convert American to Canadian was one of my favorites.  

 Great memories EKB ! Probably the Coopers go ahead hit in game 5 of the ALCS was about the best. Easter sunday 1987 was up there too. 

I'm not completely sure this is Uecker but great anyways.

Actually as much as I hate to say it I think there is NO chance he will get to call it.  I love the Brewers and I really miss listening to Ueck on the radio it is one huge thing I miss about not living in Wisconsin anymore. 

2008 call of Braun's HR that put them into the playoffs for the first time since 1982 will always be tops for me.

This is one of my favorite games I've ever listened to- way back in 1979. I was a young kid, but remember listening to the whole thing.

Scooter on hitting

RHP Matt Garza (right lat strain) has been placed on the 15-day disabled list, retro to 4/2. RHP Tyler Cravy recalled from Triple-A @skysox.

Who's the consensus number 1 pick in the 2017 MLB draft? At least one place online lists this guy.

I think we are well designed to get a top 5 pick in 2017, but my current Brewer wish list is for some pitching.  I fully admit to being jealous of the Mets and their cost controlled pitching staff (until 2018).

Here is a '16 draft that will be completely wrong

Four player moves for #Brewers today. Garza on DL, Cravy recalled from AAA; Freeman acquired for cash, Pena DFA'd. Get used to it in 2016.

Brewers pick up Freeman

A win!

Great to get that first win. A day off and on to a weekend series with the Astros.

Jonathan Lucroy was right: The Brewers won't go 0-162.
