2018-03-29: OPENING DAY! Brewers (Anderson) at Padres (Richard) 3:10 PM CDT [Brewers win, 2-1]

[Greenleaf1]

What a play by Arcia AND Braun.

[Greenleaf1]

I'd say Anderson's curveball looks stellar, but what other equally positive superlatives do you guys have for his 4-seamer, 2-seamer, and change-up?

[torts]

NO HITTER WATCH

[MrTPlush]

Look I get Braun is new at 1B and we are going to be happy any time he doesn’t get an error, but there was nothing nice about that on his end. If he doesn’t make that play 10/10 times I’m going to be pretty upset.

[MrTPlush]

Have we a thread for the Crew's first home run of the season?

 

I'll take Pineapple Pina in the 5th.

 

Chase Anderson

Anderson with the 1.000 BA.

I think Braun goes deep at some point today... let’s say 4th inning.

[Eye Black]

[sarcasm]I didn’t want to overreact after his first at-bat, but at this point I think it is fair to ask... will anyone get Lorenzo Cain out this season?[/sarcasm]

[Eye Black]

Anderson got hurt sliding, are you kidding me!!!!!!!

[stoutdude04]

Can we please get rid of pitchers hitting and running. Man.

[owbc]

What a horrible slide...uggh. Hope he's ok. Looked like he smacked his head.

[torts]

whelp, I jinxed him,m its all my fault

[Baldkin]

After hearing from my father all off season abuot how sliding head first is dumb, because of Jimmy Nelson, now I'm sure sliding will be dumb.

[MrTPlush]

haha oh Brewers....

[liveforoctober]

Can someone describe it please for us gameday-ers? Knee? Head? Ankle? Leaving the game?

[torts]

armpit/face

[pacopete4]

Honestly do these guys not practice sliding, ever? Ridiculous

[torts]

looked like his face smacked the dirt, not so much about the arm I think

[mtrebs]

... And that’s why you can’t have enough pitching depth.

[torts]

... And that’s why you can’t have enough pitching depth.

 

good thing we have plenty of pitching depth

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

in the minors

[MrTPlush]

It looked like he smacked his face. But it also looked like he was favoring his left arm to some degree too.

[Eye Black]

I will say, and I don’t think this is overstating it, that was easily the worst looking uncontested slide attempt I can recall ever seeing in a professional baseball game.

[CrewFanBrewMan69]

Looked like left shoulder area to me

[MrTPlush]

He is ALIVE!!!

[Baldkin]

Can someone describe it please for us gameday-ers? Knee? Head? Ankle? Leaving the game?

 

He slid feet first into home and managed to head butt the grind somehow.

 

I've never seen anything like it.
