[markedman5]

Boom! Finally somebody smokes one!

[Lostpawn]

Nice!

[82brewcrew82]

2 run lead.....they have us right where they want us.

Fair Ball! In Play! Can’t imagine all parks wouldn’t be the same.

Here is the White Sox description for their field. Not as good as the one linked, but same concept:

 

“A live ball (batted thrown or otherwise) striking any screen or protective netting set on the field facing a wall or railing (e.g., a backstop or protective netting along the first or third base lines) and rebounding onto the field is live and in play.”

Thanks. I understand a throw being live, but it seems strange for a batted ball. Regardless, it worked out great in this instance.

White Sox, “What is defense?”

Thanks for this. I get it now. The netting is just a new ground rule that plays differently than I expected.

Blooper alert!

[Lostpawn]

Is this really a BIG INNING for the Brewers?!?!?

 

Edit: I just didn’t expect to see one of these anytime soon

[PinaMadness]

Now watch them give it all back just like in Pittsburgh.

Freddy following Lindbloom is a pretty good change of velocity.

[markedman5]

Lindbloom throws a lot of high curveballs........

[stoutdude04]

Lindbloom throws a lot of high curveballs........

 

I think he was just grinding period. A lot of hanging off speed pitches.

[markedman5]

Just don’t trust Freddie

[yourout]

Just don’t trust Freddie

+1.... No trust at all.

[Eye Black]

Brewers-White Sox the last game still playing across MLB tonight and we’re only in the 7th inning.

[wildcat83]

Just don’t trust Freddie

 

Added new off speed pitches, but control doesn’t seem any better.

[markedman5]

Come on Gamel

[Eye Black]

Huge throwing mistake on Gamel’s part not to complete that double play. Seemed like he tried to do it with such ease that his throw sailed off target.

[stoutdude04]

Frustrating throw from Gamel.

[markedman5]

And it almost cost us huge........wow

[Eye Black]

Wow, Mathias catches it up against the wall. Gamel’s screw up almost made this a tie game.

[wildcat83]

Freddy buckling on contact made my heart drop a little.

[Eye Black]

Yelich up again this inning. So far tonight his HR and 3 walks have raised his season wRC+ from 3 to 60.

[Eye Black]

Freddy buckling on contact made my heart drop a little.

Same here, I thought it must be gone at that point.

[nate82]

When was the last time the Brewers had a player who reached base safely 5 times in one game?
