statcast will give you the data.

I prefer to not follow the data on a batter-by-batter basis.  It doesn't add to the enjoyment of the game for me. I love breaking the data down every now and then, but during the game, this information doesn't really have predictive value. It's just data.  It's just telling us what happened. 

Thank you for the link.

Just glancing at this tells me that I wouldn’t want to be looking at this during games, and probably not that much at other times. 

Bloop hits, seeing eye grounders, and “atom” balls have been and always will be part of the game, and seeing exit velocities and expected BA isn’t going to make me feel better or worse about results. And things like Yelich’s hard hit ball percentage on grounders right into the shift tell me that those numbers can be misleading.

Despite gustave falling apart that strikeout of Bryant was huge

[yourout]

Man i hate leadoff walks.

[willie key]

And now boxberger is going to stink.    Why walk the first hitter.   Come on dude

[yourout]

Shaping up to be a crappy day for the pitching staff.

Cost us a strikeout there instead of a walk. 

[jason21nl]

Stop freaking walking people 

[markedman5]

Pitching fail today…….way too many walks

[Brock Beauchamp]

Yuck. This is a bad baseball game. 

[yourout]

Going to be a well deserved loss for Box

[Pesky Johnny]

Never thought we would have bullpen trouble.  Box with back-to-back walks.

[willie key]

Step forward then a step back for this team.    You just want to find something to rely on

[NBBrewFan]

What happened to the lead? It doesn't help to have to fill so many holes if we need 1 or 2 more bullpen arms

The problem is the good relievers are losing games for us.   
 

 

[brewers888]

Not much exit velocity on the McCutchen double

I just don't want to ever see Trevor Kelly again.

Anderson made this same statement the other day about the Brewers being exceptional when they go into the 7th inning with a lead. 
 

Recent developments have put the Brewers into the “league average”category in this measure, and the best teams in the NL are significantly better. 

[brewers888]

Brosseau needs to play against all lefties.

Yes.   That would be the ultimate killer for this team

[willie key]

Every once in awhile the offense needs to win a game.   Maybe today is the day

[Brewcrew82]

Exit velocity quite important there....

[willie key]

Suter.  Man

 

couldnt we just let him finish on a high and go away

[willie key]

Atta boy suter.    Kept us alive another inning
