Same in Neenah.  Wife found it for me.

That ball should at the very least gone off the wall.  

[Brewcrew82]

Line drives all over the place and yet we have zero hits and zero runs. 

[jason21nl]

MLB is a joke with their baseballs.  

[Brewcrew82]

I refuse to entertain any criticism about the offense tonight. This is ridiculous. Thanks Manfred. 

[Brock Beauchamp]

The xBA on these balls is absurd and have resulted in... zero hits.

Manfred gets blamed for everything bad in baseball

I’m in the minority, but I actually believe he is a good commissioner 

To my knowledge, he didn’t sew these dead balls … they were made at the MLB manufacturing plant in Costa Rica ⚾️?

I’m in favor of going back to whatever baseballs existed in 2018 … but I still like Manfred

Or 1310. 

[Brewcrew82]

We are going to go to the 12th inning and the score will still be 0-0 at this rate due to the ump, the baseballs, and the weather. 

[yourout]

Automate the damn zone and be done with it.

It's absurd how bad the strike zones have become.

Forgive me, but did we get any indication from the labor negotiations as to whether an automated strike zone is likely and when it might be implemented? 

[HarryDoyle]

Let's see how this game is won with both teams getting no hit.

[AKCheesehead]

I just heard on the radio broadcast, 37˚ in Pittsburgh.  Woof.  It's 51˚ here in Bethel, AK.

It'll probably end up coming down to which team can move the extra inning ghost runner to third and then drive them home via sacrifice.

The other day, the Red Sox were pretty close to beating the Rays while being no-hit (tenth, zombie runner on second, no outs). I so badly wanted to see a team be no-hit and win.

[Brock Beauchamp]

Are you kidding me? Every damned ball, right at somebody.

A .480 xBA on that ball from Tellez.

[stoutdude04]

These baseballs are awful.

[Brewcrew82]

Yikes. This guy's as bad as angel hernandez

[yourout]

uncharacteristic bad turn by Wong.

He has not been great defensively this year.

[HarryDoyle]

Is it just me or is Wong hitting a lot of doubles down the right field line?

[TURBO]

Why in the hell does this umpire line up so far off the plate.  Just stupid.

Old school....Wrong but old school.

[yourout]

You just cant walk the leadoff guy there.

Put it on a tee if you have to.

[yourout]

Come on ump.

A little consistency would be nice.
