2017-04-30: Braves (Foltynewicz) at Brewers (Garza) 1:10 PM CDT [Brewers win, 4-3, finish April 13-13]

[hawing]

I don't think lineups will be available before the hawing party has to leave to get to Milwaukee, but here's a start to the thread.

[adambr2]

Please at least salvage a game...getting swept at home by a mediocre team would not be a good way to end the month, and a .500 April would at least give us something to feel good about .

[pacopete4]

Villar might've found a home at 2B. Been very happy with his play there since after about the first week.

[adambr2]

9 up 9 down with 6 Ks first time through our order. Well this is going well.

[adambr2]

Saw 'In play, no out' and figured we had broken up the no-hitter. Nope, just the perfect game.

[adambr2]

There we go!

[jerichoholicninja]

I don't understand how this team can hang with the best teams (played well against Cubs & Cardinals) and then look like complete crap against one of the few teams in the league that is clearly worse than us. Just seems like it's been that way for quite a few years.

[adambr2]

Gameday has this ump calling strikes well off the outside corner today.

[pacopete4]

Santana is winning me back over today.

[adambr2]

Santana is on pace for 31 HR, and it feels like he's struggled the whole month. He's got pop.

When he gets his launch angle right, he'll hit the ball too hard for parks to hold em.

[pacopete4]

Just leave Garza in the dang game. Sick of this pen costing games.

Well, Knebel is about the best guy they have in the pen. If you can't go to him to put out a fire you can pretty much not trust anyone in that pen ever.

Yeah I don't trust any of them.

I wouldn't call the Braves worse than the Brewers. Both teams are about equally bad.

[adambr2]

Gameday said Braun left with a shoulder injury? That's not good.

Right trapezeous tightness.

[LouisEly]

Including the 2 HRs today his OPS is still <.800, so yes, he has struggled the whole month.

[adambr2]

Boom! Now some insurance would be nice with Feliz being our closer and all.

[TURBO]

K-Rod, er I mean Feliz walks the lead-off guy.

[adambr2]

I love having a closer who walks batters.

[newrivervalley]

that's two. nice db.

[adambr2]

Well, we did not have a losing April.

 

Not exactly the kind of series we wanted to have but after how the last couple games went, at least we escaped with one.

[newrivervalley]

Nice to see not a bp blowup today.

[adambr2]

Great game for Santana and credit where it is due to Garza for the kind of game our pitching staff needed.
