Brown has called him "No Go" a couple times and "The Big Nogowski" a couple times.


Yeah, Greg Brown thinks his job is to entertain us with nicknames and catch phrases.  :(
The guy's name lends to nicknames in all fairness.....I couldn't resist with "Bronco" myself



Now, every single guy on the team with nicks....oh my that's overdone. I liked him calling Stallings cheetah until he tried giving everyone else a cat nickname

Brown wants to be Bob Prince. Prince came up with nicknames and catch phrases that seemed natural. Brown insists on coming up with them and it sounds forced. A few weeks ago he said to Wehner (or maybe it was Walk), "everything needs a nickname."

Crick gets in a little trouble, a strike out and a double play clear it up





Except for the ball dropping between Gamel and Reynolds, which I'm not 100 percent sure either would have caught anyhow, this has been two games in a row of solid play

I remember that, and yes that's cringe worthy.

Newman is the only starter without a hit, a walk, an RBI, a run scored. I've been part of parties like that, being all left out

If he gets hits in his first two AB's tonight, his BA will surpass DeJong's current BA.
With his 2-4 night, Nogowski does indeed improve his BA above DeJongs!
