PA, not sure you get enough credit for these IGT graphics. You do really good work with them.

PA, not sure you get enough credit for these IGT graphics. You do really good work with them.

 

Agreed. You do a heck of a job with these IGT's.

 

Too bad for me, the Nats' series is blacked out. I wish I could watch Fiers. Oh well.

[TURBO]

Agreed, excellent work! THANK YOU!

[AZBrewCrew]

Does tailgating stop during rain in Milwaukee? Nope! Getting our drink and grill on out in the preferred lot

[SRB]

Who needs Zack Greinke when you have Michael Fiers? Unstoppable.

[FullMetalCardigan]

Is it just me, or does Cody Ransom blink more than a kidnap victim sending a coded message?

[fondybrewfan]

I keep expecting Fiers to just blow up; man this guy has been terrific. How awesome would it be if this guy is a diamond in the rough and can be a big contributor. Huge

[sauveb]

The more I watch Mike Fiers the more I am reminded of a young Cal Eldred.

[Oxy]

There's a game tonight?

[Kelbysdaddy]

i'll tell you what- i like this fiers guy. he is good at pitching.

[AZBrewCrew]

The Crew seem to do well when I wear my Maldonado shirsey.

[markedman5]

Ho hum....another 6 innings no runs for Fiers.....

[ReverendBrewmeister]

Fiers just plain seems to have a grasp of the art of pitching. May not have all the standard desired tools from a RHP (e.g. mid-90s fastball), but he gets results from what he's got. It's enjoyable to watch him frustrate opposing hitters.

[ReverendBrewmeister]

Watching Fiers bat led to this question: Who's the last pitcher that you've seen at the plate without batting gloves?

[Lee16]

Alright, we got to 6 runs, I fully expect to give up 7 in the ninth.

[Funketown]

If it weren't for an innings limit (160?), Fiers would have a pretty decent chance at the NL ROY. I don't think any of us would have expected that at the start of the season!

[TooLiveBrew]

Is it just me, or does Cody Ransom blink more than a kidnap victim sending a coded message?

 

I can't help but think he's as uncomfortable wearing contacts as I was. I loved having them (aka no glasses), but couldn't stick with them after years of blinking like Cody Ransom far too frequently.

[TooLiveBrew]

Alright, we got to 6 runs, I fully expect to give up 7 in the ninth.

This almost literally got a spit-take from me.

[markedman5]

It's almost comical how many called 3rd strikes he gerts with an 88 mile an hour fastball....lol

[adambr2]

I'm really happy they preserved the shutout for Fiers after the hard luck he's had. He deserves it.

[DuWayne Steurer]

 

I realize it's only July, but this game thread is like reading an Ikea furniture instruction manual. you guys are mailing it in.

[sauveb]

6 runs up with 6 outs to go. Been there before. Need more runs.

[3and2Fastball]

I am extremely optimistic about the longterm potential of Michael Fiers....

[AZBrewCrew]

Lucroy doesn't appear to have lost a step coming back from injury. Two hard hit balls tonight.
