Kudos to Jonathan Davis for setting the table there from the 9 spot. He's been an improvement over Cain (low bar, I know).

My mistake. With the frozen screens on the TV coverage it’s hard to keep track of what’s going on. 

I’ve watched the whole game on Ballys on my TV through a firestick.  Do you have a strong internet service?

Every time I watch Brandon belt play I don’t know how he’s a major league player.    His swing just looks so goofy to me

What I don't understand is how guys like Crawford, Belt, and Posey all had career years last year in their mid 30s...

The internet service is fine. I can watch it on my iPad through the spectrum app but on the TV through the cable box it freezes. 
 

I went through my Roku device, added the Bally Sports app, went through the activation steps, and signed in through my Spectrum credentials and that worked. Like on the Spectrum app it’s a couple of pitches behind but at least it’s on the big screen (just in time for me to retire for the night). But this will be a good backup if this continues through the series as it often seems to once this starts. 
 

Thanks for the tip.

This Bally broadcast really stinks. Lots of freezing and skipped plays. Even the commercials freeze. If this keeps up for the whole series, I might not watch much.

If Corbin goes back out for the 8th, I wouldn't want him pitching in the all-star game.

Can we not catch a break....

Following on gamecast. Said Davis infield single to third, then suddenly two outs. What happened?

Was a bang-bang play that showed him out by the tiniest of margins. 

 

[Brewcrew82]

Freakin ridiculous...

[AKCheesehead]

I honestly didn't think CC would send Corbin out for the 8th

[SomewhereInTime]

Good to see Burnes out there in the 8th.  Gotta let your starters go deep into games.

[AKCheesehead]

I hope Hoby can get it done here.  Burnes does not deserve an L tonight.

[SomewhereInTime]

High leverage Hoby

[Brewcrew82]

Hoby is the man!

[SomewhereInTime]

Hoby > Hader

[AKCheesehead]

I'm glad it wasn't Joc Strap up to bat there

First time on the game thread in a while. Pretty much all but the last 3 or 4 posts filled with whining. I figured considering this has been a pretty darn good game against a contending team, there would be a bit more positive posts. Shame on me I guess

[Brewcrew82]

Guess we're going to have to hit a blooper to win this game, cause baseball...

Why? The game isn't until 5 days away.

[edfunderburk]

I knew the inability to score with the bases loaded & no outs in the 2nd inning was important in tonight’s game 

You can’t miss those opportunities against top level talent like Rodon

Hopefully, the Brewers scratch one out

I’m off to bed … long day

I guess. Just not a huge fan in a meaningless exhibition game, especially now with him having thrown a career-high 115 pitches. I'm sure he will pitch, though. 

[KeithStone53151]

I appreciate seeing CC give guys like Gott and Milner a try in such high leverage situations against a team like this. I also liked seeing him give burnes a chance in the 8th. It might be in part or in full due to work load of our top 3 options, it's still good to test these guys in these spots as there's a fair chance we'll need them to get tough outs in Sept and hopefully oct

Ya, ASG doesn't really excite me a whole bunch.
