[AdvantageSchneider]

They mentioned at the top of the broadcast that he was under the weather but was going to gut it out.

[MrTPlush]

Holy moly Santana. That was some pretty ugly defense.

Missed that. Thanks.

 

I like Martinez' hair. Machine-like, kind of like The Predator.

[adambr2]

Not a particularly easy play for Santana but one he should have made.

[adambr2]

Nice work Drake.

[jerichoholicninja]

Whatever roids Thames is on he really needs to share with the rest of the team. He's a bad teammate if he doesn't.

[MrTPlush]

His route is what made it so hard.

Bandy is a beast. Man I love the coaching duo so far, and the way they're being utilized.

The way the newcomers have hit makes watching the holdovers suck a little easier.

Have to hope the suckiness isn't contagious.

[adambr2]

I am thinking 4 years of Bandy and Pina and by then Feliciano should be ready. Sounds good to me.

I love the near even split of catcher playing time. Should prolong both their careers and keep them both effective late in seasons.

Agreed. It's like what they did with Kirk, Broxton, and Santana last season.

[jerichoholicninja]

Was it me or did Piscotty give Villar a pretty good shove as he popped up from his slide into second?

[yfinn6]

Didn't see the play.

When did that happen I missed it?

[pacopete4]

Brewers Win!! Back over .500!!

[markedman5]

32 home runs in 17 games.......my goodness

[3and2Fastball]

Thames for Governor!

I know you're just baiting with the Kirk comparison , who isn't a part of our future, but it really is crucial for catchers, especially one like Pina who is a little older. It's rare to have two catchers similar in ability that you can split almost evenly, but I think it's a much better situation than having one clearly superior and one that is a defense only catcher but a liability at the plate, a situation that we've had often over the years and one that often leads to your top catcher getting worn down by September from overuse.

Lol yeah I was just having some fun with you. I do agree on the catching situation. Play them both until one doesn't do their job. Right now it's just too good to be true.
