Pre-Gamin’: Brewers at Cubs (3:05 CT) – Lineup, Broadcast Info, Game Thread

Yesterday, the Milwaukee Brewers scored twenty-four runs against the Seattle Mariners … which, LOL.

Today, however, they’ll take on the Chicago Cubs at Sloan Park. And if they’re hoping to score another twenty-four runs they’ll have to get through Brett Anderson first.

Anderson hasn’t had the best results so far this Spring (7.20 ERA, 3.90 AVG against, 1.80 WHIP), but – and I know you know what I’m going to say – the results don’t matter. Especially for him.

All that matters is that he continues to stay healthy, get in his work, and get prepared for the season. And hey, he doesn’t have any walks yet in his five innings of Spring work, so that’s a definite positive.
