2017-04-07 Cubs (Anderson) at Brewers (Nelson) 7:10 PM CDT [Brewers win, 2-1, 11 innings, on walkoff WP]

[Eye Black]

First game I've been able to watch on TV this season & not sure how I feel about this new camera angle.

Really? I am legitimately curious what you don't like about it?

 

In my opinion, it is not only infinitely better, but has been way overdue. The viewer can now actually judge pitch movement and location. It is a completely different (positive) viewing experience for me.

Ugly at bat by Santana. Meanwhile Ryan Cordell went 2 for 4 with a HR. Just sayin'.....

Domingo Santana is a 24 year old with 19 HRs and a .236/.331/.419/.750 batting line in 432 MLB at bats.

Ryan Cordell is a 25 year old, who as a 24 year old last year hit 19 HRs with a .264/.319/.484/.803 batting line in 405 AA at bats.

 

Just sayin'...

I haven't even really noticed the new angle. I think maybe I did on Opening Day and hadn't even thought about it since.

Pina has a lot of tail on his ball for a catcher. Does not through over the top, seems like it will cause balls to drift towards the 1B side of the bag if he doesnt get everything on his throws.

Anderson had his best throwing inning and that Curve was spot on 4 of 5pitches. That called third strike to me was a ball.

[adambr2]

This is Braun's 11th season here? Wow do I feel old. Feels like only yesterday he was Carlos Lee's bat boy.

[MrTPlush]

You guys are right. Brian is good. I didn't want to shoot myself at all when he was talking about Andersons pitching 3 of the last 4 games or how Brett Anderson went to the same high school as he did for one year.

 

We got it. You don't like Brian Anderson. Can we get back to baseball now?

 

You are kinda being like what you hate Anderson for so much.

This home plate ump sucks.

[adambr2]

Perez has just awful plate discipline. He'll hit. 260 with an OBP 30 points lower than guys who hit .200.

[brewcrewdue80]

Now this curveball Anderson has been throwing after 1st time through the order, is really impressive. He's abandoned the FB almost completely. Withthis pitch falling on the corners.

[MrTPlush]

The Brewers are to blame for there being so many Cubs fans. If you look the Brewers spiked prices ridiculously high to where Brewers fans wouldn't even want to buy tickets for this weekend.

[yfinn6]

Nice adjustment by Shaw, Bryant clearly safe for his 1st hit. Dangit, was really hoping for a 1-2-3 inning for Jimmy.

[topper09er]

Scooter makes that throw easy...

[3and2Fastball]

Aguillar looks good! I believe in Jesus

[markedman5]

I like the new and improved Jimmy Nelson.......so far......

[adambr2]

PH for Jimmy if you get anyone on. Otherwise let him hit and go another inning.

[yfinn6]

I bet he doesn't get the bunt down.

[adambr2]

Or not.

[yfinn6]

Seriously over-thinking it. Just bunt it toward 3rd base. Cripes.

[adambr2]

I really don't even know what Counsell is thinking sometimes. May as well have Arcia try to take 2nd now.

[yfinn6]

I have a feeling that a big inning is coming for the Cubs.

[adambr2]

Just such an incredibly frustrating team to watch sometimes. Finally get some good pitching, and the bats do nothing.

[adambr2]

I have a feeling that a big inning is coming for the Cubs.

 

I don't know why he didn't just PH for Nelson and try to push a run across. He's thrown 81 pitches and it's his first start. At best he gets through one more inning and he'll be on a short leash already this inning. So he has him go up there and do...I don't even know what he was doing, just to try to maybe squeeze 3 more outs of him at best. Is it really worth it, Craig?

[yfinn6]

Wow Jimmy, come back there a bit. Looked like he was barking a bit at Contreras? Or someone.

[adambr2]

I still don't agree with it and I'm surprised it didn't backfire, but I'm sure glad about it. Nice outing, Jimmy. Now can we please get him some run support?
