2018-08-11: Brewers (Miley) at Braves (Teheran) 6:10 PM CDT [Brewers win, 4-2]

[TURBO]

They should not be allowed to play "Your Cheating Heart." That is very unclassy.

 

Teams do this all the time. The Bucks would play some lollipop thing when announcing the other team.

 

Welcome to the twitter troll era.

 

lolipop is far different than making a direct reference to roid use...

I like the in game updates from other games, I don't know why they don't do it more during baseball given the pace of play. If you watch a Packer game there are "game breaks" about 10 times showing quick highlights from other games.

[BruisedCrew]

This offense is just abysmal.

[BruisedCrew]

Shaw fails to turn what should have been a sure DP so the Braves have another scoring chance.

Yikes.

[Boomer5]

The Shaw play on an easy double play shows why 3B aren’t second basemen.

[Yaz]

MOOSE! I like this guy.

[Lathund]

BABIP gods aren't on our side today. Their batted balls get through the shift or are just out of reach. Ours straight at their fielders.

[BruisedCrew]

Thames having a big night striking out on pitches out of the zone.

[BruisedCrew]

This could be the “put it out of reach” inning for Freeman and Markakis.

[PinaMadness]

Verducci seems shocked that Hader wasn't an option for CC.

Yeah, this seems like a big ask of Miley. The third time through to really good hitters isn’t a great spot to be in here.

[Eye Black]

Well what do I know. Nice job Miley, now hopefully the bats can provide some support.

He was under 70 pitches and throwing well, didn't seem like a stretch to me.

[wildcat83]

Man, just nothing from the offense for 4 straight innings. What was that, about a 7 pitch inning?

[adambr2]

When you've done nothing but make repeated moves for bats over and over again and throw your pitching scraps, and you still can't score, it's time to take a hard serious look at your hitting coach.

True, I wasn’t really considering the pitch count as much as the percentages of facing those guys a third time. Moot point now I guess, it worked out well.

 

Pitching certainly hasn’t been the problem tonight thus far, really hope they can find a way to generate some runs.

[crossface21]

Just turned the game on. Who are these announcers, and why?

 

It's an FS1 game. It's Verducci and someone else. Feels like a Braves home broadcast to me.

I've been thinking about this tonight. We haven't had Schoop long enough to change his swing or anything like that, but even new guys come here and struggle. If not mechanics, are we horrible at scouting reports or something like that? Seems like there has to be an underlying cause.

[Eye Black]

Amazing catch by Braun... and my first thought immediately after is that I hope his back is okay.

[wildcat83]

WOW BRAUN!!!!

 

See that on Web Gems later!

[jonescm128]

Looks like Thames was the wrong option today.

[Yaz]

The GO GETTA!

[crossface21]

That may be one of Braun's top 5 plays in his career.

Lol, are you saying he's too old for his heels to come up near the back of his head when he bounces off the ground?
