2 out hits with runners in scoring position are nice……

[HarryDoyle]

Careful with the animation Rowdy. You're in serious danger of violating the Cardinal Way.

[BruisedCrew]

What a rag arm in left field. 
 

Yelich was just approaching third when that bullet reached the fielder and there wasn’t even a play at the plate. 

[owbc]

I'm so glad Wainwright stuck around long enough to be reduced to a junkballer. 

[yfinn6]

Now that low pitch is a strike. Of course. If Woodruff doesn't get that strike then someone for the Brewers' coaching staff needs to get ejected. 

[BruisedCrew]

Now that the Brewers have 4 runs on the board and Woodruff is at 70 pitches through 4 innings (thanks ump for adding several unnecessary high stress pitches), I’m starting to wonder who is going to try to cover the last 3 or 4 innings today.

The key is to keep scoring runs so it doesn't matter.

[Brock Beauchamp]

I couldn't be happier that Yelich made that out because it was a lot like his not-outs over the past few days.

*In the regular season. But yeah, otherwise nothing's changed. 

I forgot about the Mark Kotsay NLCS Experience…

Woodruff for 6, Ashby or suter for 3? Maybe have a short reliever finish the 6th if woodruff gets in trouble with pitch count.

That seems like a relatively sparse crowd for opening day

 

from that picture

You can’t judge the attendance from pictures of the seats. 
At any given time there are literally thousands of people out getting concessions, including people who never go to their seats and spend the whole game in the various bar areas around the park.

It would have to be Suter because Ashby is scheduled to start Sunday.

I think Woody will only be going 5 today (89 pitches) Keith.

[Joseph Zarr]

This is the happy version of Woody. Great mix of stuff. Love to see him getting that Mix of speeds, movement, and location going like this.

How lucky are we to listen to Brian Anderson on the regular? He is so incredibly good at his craft. Not a game goes by I don't give thanks.

He is the best.

If you watch games on MLB TV or Extra Innings and hear some of the other announcers, Anderson really stands out. There are several other good ones, but there also some that are shameless screaming homers.

No one else has.

We don't get him on the regular, I'm to the point that I just want him to be gone, and we have another regular guy.

He's great, but the Brewers are not his jam anymore, he's just a sub.

BA is also really talented as a basketball commentator. Not often you get that ability at a national level (admitting that Lepay is great at CFB and MCBB locally). I love Levering in the radio booth--his college basketball work is not at that level. 

The Crew is very lucky overall from a broadcasting perspective.

This is true but, man, I am just so grateful when we get him. We never know what we have or had until it's gone. I'm going to hang on every last minute.

I don't get this. Wouldn't we rather have 50 games of 5-WAR pace than replacement level broadcasting all season? 

 

[Cool Hand Lucroy]

I don't know if you all know this, but Jace Peterson has grit.

[Joseph Zarr]

I would be remiss if I didn't add: We have two incredible announcers at Triple-A and Double-A in Jeff Hem and Garrett Greene, respectively. They are excellent. Being the unabashed Homer that I am, I hope they get the promotion, ultimately.

[Joseph Zarr]

Love to see this kind of AB from Wily. Pitch 9 a coming. He turned a rough AB into a good one.
