2020-09-30 (NL Wild Card Series): Brewers (Suter) at Dodgers (Buehler) [Brewers lose, 4-2 -- Suter’s early struggles prove too much for offense to overcome; Yardley and Topa combine on solid effort out of bullpen]

[owbc]

Can't wait for Narvaez to put us in front.

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

Then what exactly are you saying, because obviously it went over my head?

 

Crappy movie spoofs aren't funny and going crazy over them because a baseball player made them is stupid.

 

So basically that is exactly what I said. You are ripping on the guy for having a personality, and for the team for using it in viral video marketing. LOL it didn't go over my head at all.

[KeithStone53151]

This ump has had a very tight zone all game. It's been the same both ways...

[adambr2]

What's up with guys whining about correct calls tonight? Pick and choose your battles.

[willie key]

Hiura has got to hit those fastball.

[wildcat83]

Arcia was a pretty good hitter over the regular season also. There’s definitely been improvement with him.

 

Yep, and plays really high level defense. I’m in no rush to get rid of him.

lol that is not what you said at all. I love comedy and the creativity that comes from that. Doing movie spoofs is not comedy or creative.

[Bulldogboy]

71 pitches. He has to be done soon.

[Eye Black]

Buehler has now thrown more pitches than he’s thrown in any outing over the last 6 weeks.

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

 

I am. It's just that movie spoofs aren't funny, no matter who is doing them.

 

Judging by the millions of views those videos got, you are in the minority on that one. At the end of the day, nobody made you watch them.

[pacopete4]

The announcer made a good point that I thought of earlier. Why doesn’t Counsell have the ump looking at Beuhlers hand?

[Cool Hand Lucroy]

Throwing Hiura 0-2 curveballa around the plate sure makes it seem like the Dodgers did not scout him well, even if they got him on one there.

[willie key]

You let suter walk five guys and you ring up hiura on that pitch

 

Just because the dodger pitcher was complaining

 

Screw this ump. That’s bull crap

[liveforoctober]

The Brewers are in a 1 run playoff game and you two are arguing over the comedic value of movie spoofs.

 

.......

[Eye Black]

Agreed.

[willie key]

Puns are the worst form of comedy

[trwi7]

Suter deservedly walked 5 guys, that pitch to Hiura was a strike. What are we even watching?

[Bulldogboy]

You can't call that a strike after what Suter had to deal with. Come on.

[mtrebs]

The ESPN announcers were discussing Buehler appears to have some substance on his blisters, which isn’t allowed. Even if the Brewers questioned it, what would happen? Would he just get ejected? I doubt he’ll come back out now anyway.

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

 

lol that is not what you said at all. I love comedy and the creativity that comes from that. Doing movie spoofs is not comedy or creative.

 

To each their own I suppose. I wouldn't call them high comedy, but they were cute, and the players seemed to enjoy them. I think the purpose of doing them is to bring in casual fans, and they probably accomplished that. I do think that the Brewers social media team does get way, way too cutesy at times, though.

[willie key]

Get through this inning unscathed and we have a game

[wildcat83]

Automated zone had it as a strike, but it was caught horribly which usually means you don’t get the call. Suter had that same pitch location and catch called a ball.

I'm getting a sense there are maybe a few shades of us not having "earned" those calls, at least from the ump's perspective. I'm reminded of that football game when Cam Newton was getting blasted high and late repeatedly and the head referee basically told him "you don't get those calls yet."

 

Granted, I make no claim to impartiality on these matters.

What

[owbc]

The umpiring has been great in this game, I've only seen 2 or 3 misses. Suter was trying to expand the zone and the ump wasn't having it.
