but can they stretch their winning streak to two...?
... Probably not, because they will be facing Thomas Diamond (5-4, 3.16 ERA in AAA Iowa this season), who will be making his major league debut tonight. Diamond has had a rather tumultuous professional career. Origionally drafted in the first round of the 2004 draft by the Rangers, he underwent Tommy John surgery and missed all of 2007. After the Rangers DFA'd him, the Cubs picked him up and DFA'd him too. But he's back on the roster now and is being rewarded for his nice season with the I-Cubs. His 1.218 WHIP is supported by solid peripherals of 8.7 K/9 inn and 3.8 BB/9 inn. How well he pitched in the minors probably doesn't matter, because the Brewers just don't do well against pitchers making their major league debut.
Chris Narveson (8-7, 5.90 ERA) will be on the mound for the good guys tonight. In his last start he only managed to make it through 5 innings. He was looking good through those first five innings against the Reds, but he allowed the first three batters to reach in the sixth inning and was lifted in favor of Kameron Loe, who allowed those runners to score anyway. I'm not quite sure what to expect from Narveson these days. The first innings isn't as much of a problem as it has been in the past for the Narv-Dog, it's all the innings after that. However his BABIP is a little high at .327, so there's that. In his brief career against the Cubs, Narveson is 2-0 with a 4.50 ERA. No Cub has faced Narveson at least 10 times.
Tonight's lineup

Anyone else thing its hilarious
that Gomez questioned if the ball that hit him in the head was a purpose pitch? Doesn’t he realize that purpose pitches are only thrown at good players?
That kid should keep his mouth shut.

Not really.
For one thing, I think anytime a player is hit in the head it can probably be questioned. Granted I didn’t watch last night’s game so I don’t know the whole situation, but in a 13-1 game (or whatever it was at the time) it’s not out of the question at all that it was a purpose pitch. Also, I don’t really expect any pro baseball player to think in his mind “Well they hit me in the head, but I suck so….must have been an accident”.

I don't understand the logic behind not DL'ing Gomez immediately.
Even if he’s only going to be out a few days, why not bring up someone who can play center? It’s not like this team can’t live without Gomez.

Range factor?
You think he’s not “rangey”, so I gave you the number that quantifies a defender’s range…

I feel like Hardy was a very good defensive shortstop
because he could read the ball off of the bat (be leaning one way or the other depending on pitch location).
Escobar doesn’t need to do that.

Diamond at 120 pitches
Maybe he should play first base instead. That is, he should lie out there and we can step on him when we get a hit.
pfft. if his name was Thomas Adamantium he could pitch 150, 160+ a night.

BS complaints about Joe West aren't enough to float his boat anymore, I guess

Upon further review
I think it should have been “Clearly, he’s no Andrew McCutchen.”

Worth noting
Run doesn’t score without the HBP.

So congratulations, Mr. Russell

He does it every fucking year.
Also, I have to give the Cubs fans at Wrigley a TINY bit of credit, it didn’t sound like they were booing him too bad in his first time back since surgery.
I heard it was a smattering of both boos and cheers
But there are Brewers fans there too.

he hit a grand slam versus Washington..
i thought it was pretty memorable
"Staying up to watch the 10 o'clock Olds? This just in--Go to bed."
Just got back from the TRats game.
I’m biased, but it’s hard not to get excited about some of the guys on that team. Khris Davis had a diving catch coming in and to his right, another where he crashed into the wall right after the catch, and a third catch where he leapt, caught the ball and went back first into the wall. There were at least 3 other catches where he showed good range and made it look easy.
Kentrail Davis went 2 for 2 with 2 RBI (two sac flies), and Scooter went 2 for 4 and generally made himself a pain in the ass when on the basepaths. Lasker threw 7 innings and gave up a single unearned run…
