2021-04-10: Brewers (Houser) at Cardinals (Martinez) [Brewers win, 9-5 -- Hauser keeps Cards scoreless over 5 IP; Crew tallies 13 hits]

[Cool Hand Lucroy]

Has anyone figured out the threshold for when Gameday says "sharply"? I'm guessing 100 mph...

 

Statcast classifies hard hit as 95 mph, so it might be that.

 

Cool. Thanks.

[Sir Illo]

Hiura and Urias have combined for 3 hits in 44 ABs in this young season.

[adambr2]

Rather than sign 2 or 3 guys for 4-5M each who can't hit, this year we just gave it all to 1 guy in Bradley who can't hit. Much more efficient.

[trwi7]

"The hardest hit ball was Edman's line drive to center." No, Brian, that was the third hardest hit ball in the inning out of four.

[Cool Hand Lucroy]

Never thought I'd see Molina clock an infield hit...

[trwi7]

Bill made it sound like Houser made a great pitch because the pitcher is on deck and you don't want to give him "a cookie down the middle" when the pitch that Bill was praising was a cookie down the middle.

[Eye Black]

Never thought I'd see Molina clock an infield hit...

Somehow Molina’s second infield hit of the season. One shy of tying Garcia (and five others) as the league leader!

Can't fake baseball. Haha. That is great.

[adambr2]

Guys who switched to AT&T TV, are you happy with it so far?

[adambr2]

Is Narvaez hung over today? That's like the 3rd ball that's just popped right out of his glove.

[adambr2]

Houser is benefiting from some really good defense today.

[KeithStone53151]

We made defense a focus, glad it's paying off. Also hiura stung the ball both at bats today, good to see.

[KeithStone53151]

Degrom with 8 innings of 1 run ball with 14 ks and about to get the loss. Kinda insane how often this happens to him.

[brewers888]

Maybe they should have waited till Urías showed something before trading Arcia.

Narvaez is like the create-a-player feature in MLB The Show where you only have so many total points to distribute among the various skills. After pouring all of the allotted points towards defense last year, maybe he went back to using up a sizeable amount of his points on the bat this year.

I’m ok with Robertson at SS

[Sir Illo]

Haha Yadi. Guy is a statue.

[Eye Black]

So while that obviously wasn’t a good play by Hiura, it was far superior to him getting no outs in his previous DP attempt.

[folly412]

Shaw putting on a defensive clinic.

[markedman5]

Shaw bailing out Hiura

[adambr2]

Maybe they should have waited till Urías showed something before trading Arcia.

 

Why? Arcia was a replacement level player. It's not like they can't go find another Arcia if Urias doesn't pan out.

[KeithStone53151]

I always feel extremely comfortable with the throw as soon as shaw gets a glove on the ball. I feel like he almost never makes an errant throw.

[pacopete4]

So while that obviously wasn’t a good play by Hiura, it was far superior to him getting no outs in his previous DP attempt.

 

Molina also did a real nice job of taking away the throw to 2B. He was a step on the infield grass when Hiura was throwing it. Still needs to be made but it’s a tough one for a guy with not much experience.

Had it for years. No problems. I spend too much on tv services, but whatever. Pay $115 for ATT, which includes sports channels, most movie channels. Also pay for Hulu, Prime, Netflix, I have Plex, Appletv, got a Chromecast stick somewhere. It’s my wife’s job to call whenever ATT raises the bill and talk them back down.

[Underachiever]

Yes!
