I've been missing the games since we dropped DirecTV; still waiting for Ballys to be on Roku.

Wasn't hard to log in to Apple.  Nice to see a game again.

 

Of course, they're wearing those ridiculous uniforms, haha.

 

 

The baby blue ones?  We are listening to the radio...

The City Connects.  Glad I don't like them.  Less gear I have to buy

[homer]

Why did he not send Urias? Looping liner...he would have made that easy

Agreed... although Yelich was up next, which should have been a decent matchup...

Brewers are really good at minimized the damage when hitting.

No kidding...  ?

I was going to trash Willy adames this year until I looked at the advanced stats.  A BAbip .101 below his career average with a hard hit rate slightly better and only a slightly elevated strikeout rate.  He’s really just having an unlucky year that should turn around at some point here.

[yourout]

Way to many Ks.

[Oxy]

72 pitches for Ashby...seems lite, although I guess CC commented that they wanted Ashby to get subbed out BEFORE he got tired.

[jason21nl]

So the hit probably on 2-1 pitch is 19% but goes up to 20% on 2-2?  
 

is it because the batter has seen more pitches?

[jason21nl]

Yelich looks especially skinny in these jerseys 

[Ulice Payne]

Umpire louder than usual on this broadcast.

[yourout]

Another game....another 1 for 12 with 5 ks from the top 4 in the lineup.

[igor67]

Insurance run!

[Brewcrew82]

What Keston has been doing lately is very encouraging. Should be an every day player against RHP right now.

[igor67]

For all the disappointment earlier in the season using updated stats Brosseau is the only player with significant ABs that has an higher OPS than Hiura at .820

[jason21nl]

“Gamel chases again” it was a fastball down the middle of the plate….

[willie key]

Did narvaez get hurt

[YelichPosse]

Huira has had some fantastic at bats tonight. Even that last one - the last pitch was a ball - but you know - umps lol. None the less nice to see him not chasing 3 bad pitches and sitting down.

[jason21nl]

What the hell is wrong with Hader lately 

[Cool Hand Lucroy]

Josh needs two days off. I was hoping CC would go Box, Williams in 8 and 9. Hope Harder settles in.

He just needed to tie his shoe apparently 

[jason21nl]

Got the win but come the hell on.  

[YelichPosse]

Phew. 
I will say these announcers are horrible. Seemed like their first baseball game ever. Glad the fair ball didn’t hurt us.
