Yes!

GIDP Baby! What a wonderful defensive play...right on cue with the announcing crew's comments.

[topper09er]

Wow sounded like some pretty loud cheers for the Brewers DP. Good work to those battling the bros down in wrigley

[Cool Hand Lucroy]

Big double play!

 

I know I should be meaner to the Cubs, but watching how their guys work ABs is consistently impressive. They jist seem hard to get out, and it isn't just against us.

Watching game on ESPN. Have it in my office and the sound on in the classroom... I was surprised how many kids came in and asked if we could have it on in the background... It's a lab setting, so it isn't an issue.

 

Let the kids take turns posting on your BF.net account.

I haven't watched every game in the last week or so, but from what I've seen, Aguilar has been playing some nice defense.

 

Aguilar is an underrated defender IMO. He is a much better athlete than you'd assume on the eye test.

[jjgott]

Oh no, the broadcast on my phone is a few seconds behind the IGT. Do I keep refreshing here and spoiling the game??? Decisions, decisions...

[tmwiese55]

Seems like we hit the ball well the first time through the lineup. hopefully keeps going but gets runs this time around.

[YelichPosse]

There seem to be lots of Brewer fans there today (more than a typical matchup there) - and we need to spring board a play like that into a run or two or few here... momentum in a game like this is MASSIVE.

Agree with this. He does make me nervous on pop-ups, though. And his base running is terrifying.

[jjfanec]

If the ump keeps this zone up swinging early makes a lot of sense. Not going to be many walks

[yfinn6]

Nice job kid.

[dlk9s]

I love the echo of the crack of the bat today. Every hit sounds awesome.

[YelichPosse]

come on bunt him over nicely please!

[MrTPlush]

ARCIA!!!!!! Way to work an AB and get a great pitch to hit.

[lcbj68c]

Arcia patience? :rubs eyes vigorously:

[yfinn6]

Luckily it didn't hit Chacin's fingers.

 

Santana has been up in the zone a bit today.

[owbc]

That was a playoff quality AB by Arcia. Nicely done.

[lcbj68c]

Chacin tried to pull the bat back there....not a foul ball.

[dlk9s]

In my little league All-Star game, I had one AB. Coach had me bunt and the pitcher threw it at my head. I dropped straight down to get out of the way, but my bat hung up in the air. The ball hit it and went foul. That POS coach actually yelled at me. I was 12 years old.

[dlk9s]

Thank you for fielding that!

[MrTPlush]

Nice job Chacin!!!

[YelichPosse]

Not pretty. But I'll take that!

Was it Coach Cooper?

It really was. It was one of the best ABs I've ever seen him have.
