HAHAHAHAHAAH Baez!

[adambr2]

Have a seat Baez.

[Cool Hand Lucroy]

Nice, easy first! Get the lead!

[YelichPosse]

The WINDMILL!

 

Not a bad 1st at all. Lets get some runs boys!

[jerichoholicninja]

Kurkijan mentioned killing himself and I just immediately felt bad for what Twitter is going to do to him.

 

Ya, that whole story is probably going to get him in some hot water.

[mrn1ceguy]

Hopefully we can work the count better than the first and get Quintana's pitch count a little higher.

[MrTPlush]

Huge to get a zero on the board right away. Don't start this game in the hole....

[jjfanec]

That type of at bat is why I see Javy regressing a lot next year. His swing and miss rate and swing at pitches out side the zone rate dont seem like they will hold well.

[StearnsFTW]

Will ESPN stream the game live?

 

Would I need a subscription, or will it just be there, for the watching?

 

I don't know, but Reddit MLB Streams if this fails you.

 

Can't thank you enough. I have cable TV in my office, which I almost never use. Flipped the game on at noon.............cable's out. Got it online now. Thanks again!!!

[Cool Hand Lucroy]

 

Huh. Didn't realize it was hit that hard. I think because it hit the ground closer to home plate, whereas Cain's was basically a low liner, it looked weaker to me.

 

Gameday is fun to just see the EV. I notice a lot of ground balls that look routine hit 95-105. Makes the launch angle thing make sense. Grounders just have to be exceptionally well-placed to result in anything other than an out.

[Cool Hand Lucroy]

Speaking of well-placed grounders!

[YelichPosse]

yes thanks for that link -

 

and at a boy Aggy.. good start to the inning

[adambr2]

Ugh. Schoop smoked it.

[Fear The Chorizo]

hitting seeds, a little unlucky so far

[YelichPosse]

dang it schoop scalded that ball

[dlk9s]

Well, first five hitters seem to be seeing the ball well. Just gotta find a few more holes. (twss)

[OldSchoolSnapper]

They're all smoking the ball. That's good I think.

[phnxcrew]

Both pitchers getting a bit lucky so far

[markedman5]

Lots of hard contact for Brewers early

[owbc]

Aggressive early in the count...not helping get to the bullpen.

[adambr2]

Good grief. Quintana will be able to go about 15 today as hard as we're making him work.

[Fear The Chorizo]

must be a contest to see if Brewers can get themselves out on 0 pitches....super aggressive early

[Cool Hand Lucroy]

Two (and too) quick innings.

[OldSchoolSnapper]

16 pitches. Woof.

[jjfanec]

Not working the count much today but Quintana hasnt been missing the zone much.
