2019-05-18: Brewers (Anderson) at Braves (Gausman) [Brewers lose, 4-3 in 10 innings]

[BruisedCrew]

Yelich has had one great game and 8 pretty lousy ones on this trip. He has left a ton of runners in scoring position.

[ThisIsMyCrew]

That 3-2 pitch from JJ to Acuna is unhittable. Wowza

[tomwopat]

I don't think these broadcasters are terrible, but the quality of their call is more in line with what I'd expect from a minor league game. Tons of repetition, cliches, and bad jokes.

 

Surely they could find someone better and more experienced for a weekend nationally-televised game?

I don’t know, A.J. Pierzynski seems to actually be terrible at it. I don’t think he has the type of former player personality and insight/knowledge sharing that play well on broadcasts. Of course he didn’t exactly have the type of personality that played well on the field either.

 

Despite his reputation I don't find him that intolerable. He has some occasional nuggets of insight, and makes mention of a lot of the obvious things that might not obvious to the casual fan. So I think he could develop into a decent color guy, I just prefer I didn't have to listen to him hone his skills, a national broadcast should have a team with a bit more polish.

 

This should not be surprising to me given Fox's track record of selection and evaluation of broadcaster talent, but still.

Hey Cain, I was coaching 10U baseball today...they throw better than you.

[Brew crew 92]

If CC doesn’t want to use Peralta in this game because we were ahead by a run, then he should have used him in yesterday’s game in the 6 th down by 3. He could have finished that game, saving burnes for high leverage where he belongs. Confusing last two games.

[IIAY]

Looked like Hiura was standing around watching when he should have been covering second on that double by Freeman. It appeared Cain was going to throw it to second when he realized no one was covering and ended up spiking it into the ground. Rookie mistake. Thankfully it didn’t lead to any runs.

I totally agree with you on Claudio today, but I don't know why you keep beating that Corbin Burnes horse to death when there was nothing wrong with the moves yesterday. It's pretty evident that we should probably cool it on the high leverage reliever talk with him for awhile.

 

Corbin stunk yesterday. Let's not pretend he just would have been magically nailing the corners if the score was 0-0 instead of 3-0.

[Brew crew 92]

Braves have the quality starter arm in their pen, Newcomb that can throw 2-3 innings, shutting us down.

 

This is what we need. Peralta could be one but CC won’t pitch him, yet anyhow. Houser another but CC not trust him either. Very confusing.

[PinaMadness]

That Moose error/Braun throw to second is looming large.

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

What a throw from Yelich!

Thinking he doesn't trust either.

I think your right.

Yep. That's just extra to the rest of the frustrating parts of this game.

[Invader3K]

Well, Keston reached base.

[young guns]

Nice job dorn I mean huira.

[MrTPlush]

That was a gift, Keston has been pretty awful outside of his first game. Sadly

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

Nice piece of hitting from Orlando there.

[young guns]

Alright arcia! Come on cain. Give us a nice professional ab.

[stoutdude04]

Wow...what lucky hits there. Wow.

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

Yeah! Great job Lorenzo!

[young guns]

Wooo! That'll work.

[stoutdude04]

Bases loaded..again.

[adambr2]

Nice!!

[Invader3K]

Have to love the battling back.

[monkeyman343434]

Just saw the DoorMan after that Cain RBI on the Braves broadcast!
